Append a new line while using Field Symbols

Hi,

Below is a snippet of my code

DATA: ls_data_package LIKE LINE OF DATA_PACKAGE[].

FIELD-SYMBOLS:<ls_data_package> LIKE LINE OF DATA_PACKAGE[].

zbib_sysn_temp = <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn+off3(off4).

<ls_data_package>-/bic/zd_user = <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn(off).

<ls_data_package>-/bic/zwrk = <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn+off1.

I want to insert a new line to the data package, with all the fields same while adding the above two,

except for,

<ls_data_package>-/bic/zd_user = zbib_sysn_temp

<ls_data_package>-/bic/zitm = 2.

Note: by default the field /bic/zitm = 1. So while adding for the 1st time it is set to 1 by default. I want to add a second (new line) to the datapackage which has all fields same except for the /bic/zd_user and the /bic/zitm = 2.

Please help me with this code,

CD

Does this help...


TYPES:
BEGIN OF x_data,
   f1 TYPE i,
   f2 TYPE c LENGTH 6,
END OF x_data.
DATA: i_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF x_data INITIAL SIZE 0,
      wa_data TYPE x_data,
      counter TYPE i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f1> TYPE x_data.
ASSIGN wa_data TO <f1>.
wa_data-f1 = 1.
wa_data-f2 = 'Test'.

DO 5 TIMES.
  counter = counter + 1.
  <f1>-f1 = counter.
  <f1>-f2 = 'Test' .
  APPEND <f1> TO i_data.
ENDDO.
BREAK-POINT.

Souvrav, thanks for the reply.

I am not an ABAP'er, I have managed to write code so far. Can you please help me with how this can be done in this code:

DATA: off, off1, off2, off3, off4, off5, off6 TYPE i.

DATA: zbib_sysn_temp TYPE string.

DATA: ls_data_package LIKE LINE OF DATA_PACKAGE[].

FIELD-SYMBOLS:<ls_data_package> LIKE LINE OF DATA_PACKAGE[].

SORT DATA_PACKAGE BY /bic/zbib_id.

LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <ls_data_package>.

IF <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn IS NOT INITIAL.

TRANSLATE <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn TO UPPER CASE.

FIND '/' IN <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn MATCH OFFSET off2.

zbib_sysn_temp = <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn+off3(off4).

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

<ls_data_package>-/bic/zd_user =

<ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn(off).

Now at this point of code i want to copy this existing record from ls_data_package to create a new record where /bic/zd_user = zbib_sysn_temp and /bic/zitm = 2.

Pleas help...

Souvrav, can you please provide me the code. I am nt an ABAP'er and having a real hard time to incorporate this logic.

Please help,,

Don't know your exact logic...so its very difficult to code...but try this:

Do you really wanna add just a single record in the internal table DATA_PACKAGE?


DATA: off, off1, off2, off3, off4, off5, off6 TYPE i.
DATA: zbib_sysn_temp TYPE string.
DATA: ls_data_package LIKE LINE OF DATA_PACKAGE[].
FIELD-SYMBOLS:<ls_data_package> LIKE LINE OF DATA_PACKAGE[].
 
SORT DATA_PACKAGE BY /bic/zbib_id.
 " This will work only when DATA_PACKAGE ASSIGNING has a single record
Read table DATA_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <ls_data_package> index 1.
 
IF sy-subrc = 0 and <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn IS NOT INITIAL.

TRANSLATE <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn TO UPPER CASE.

FIND '/' IN <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn MATCH OFFSET off2.

zbib_sysn_temp = <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn+off3(off4).
<ls_data_package>-/bic/zd_user = <ls_data_package>-/bic/zbib_sysn(off).

 IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
<ls_data_package>-/bic/zitm = '2'.
 append <ls_data_package> to DATA_PACKAGE.
"now DATA_PACKAGE should have two records  
 endif.
endif.
