Determine field name of fieldsymbol

[Sm1tje]

Hi all,

how can I retrieve the fieldname of a field-symbol at runtime.

I have the following statement:

do.

assign component sy-index of structure 'structure' to <field>.

• Now I want to determine if the name of the field to which this field-symbol is pointing to.

• Only in case the name of the field starts with ' ZZ', I need to do something.

enddo,.

Hi Micky,

Do it in this way.

  FIELD-SYMBOLS :
    <fs1>  TYPE ANY.
CONCATENATE 'IT_FINAL-DMBTR' l_tabix INTO l_field_qty.
        ASSIGN: COMPONENT 'DMBTR' OF STRUCTURE it1_mseg TO <fs>.
        ASSIGN:  l_field_qty TO <fs1>.

Thanks,

Chidanand

This is not what I was looking for, since I don't know the name of the field. On the contrary, it is the name of the field I want to determine.

This is the closer I can find

TYPE-POOLS: abap.
DATA: BEGIN OF struct,
one,
two,
three,
four,
END OF struct.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY.
DATA: obj TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.
DATA: comp_wa TYPE abap_compdescr.
obj ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( struct ).

DO.
  ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE struct TO <fs>.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.
  READ TABLE obj->components INTO comp_wa INDEX sy-index.
  WRITE / comp_wa-name.
ENDDO.

I don't think you can analize the name of the variable the <fs> is pointing, only you can find the name of the components in an structure

Hi ramiro,

this is the same conclusion and solution I came up with. Thanks anyway.

Kind regards,

Micky.
