I'm confused with the difference between dereferencing field symbol variables and variables from type REF TO.

In other words, what differs from accessing a field symbol that got its referrence via ASSIGN ( ... ) and a REF TO variable via var_of_type_ref_to->*.

When it is advised to use one or the other... ?

Thanks

Avraham
