Hi guys,

Can someone tell me what does this statement do.

ASSIGN MY_TABLE->* TO <DYN_TABLE>. -

I have used it in creating a dynamic internal table. This is my previous thread in which this statement was used.

Thanks,

IT will take values only during runtime only.

related to field symbol.

what ever the values are created during runtime it will assign that to another internal table.

like this u r saving memory & improving the performance of the program.

What does the below statement mean in my question.

MY_TABLE->*

its used for dereferencing...

To access the contents of the data object to which a data reference is pointing, you must dereference it.

ASSIGN <dref>->* TO <FS> [CASTING ...].
