field symbol type incompatible

[Former Member]

I am trying to assign a field symbol to an internal table and i get the errr of type incompatble, even though the table and field symbol are both typed the same. I am not all that familiar with the rules of using field symbols. The code is:

TYPES: BEGIN OF rep_type,

buyer TYPE marc-ekgrp,

del_time TYPE marc-plifz,

mrp_cont TYPE marc-bearz,

mrp_type TYPE marc-dismm,

mat_grp TYPE mara-matkl,

proc_time TYPE marc-bearz,

plan_time TYPE marc-fxhor,

cov_profile TYPE marc-rwpro,

saf_stock TYPE marc-eisbe,

END OF rep_type.

DATA: rep_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF rep_type.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <rep_ref> TYPE rep_type.

...

ASSIGN rep_tab TO <rep_ref>.

The error is rep_tab and <rep_ref> are type incompatible.

Is there something more about typing with field symbols that I am missing?

rep_tab is a table.

<rep_ref> is referenced to a structure.

Hi

For this you can define Field symbol as :

DATA: <FS> TYPE ANY TABLE.

Use

ASSIGN rep_type TO <rep_ref>.

assign structure rep_type to field symbol.
