Field-symbol gets unassigned unexpectedly.

[walkerist]

Hi, has anyone experienced that the field-symbol gets unassigned unexpectedly?

Here's my code

ASSIGN IT_TABLE [ ... ] TO FIELD SYMBOL <FS_TEST>.

IF <FS_TEST> IS ASSIGNED.

ENDIF.

DATA(V_VAR1) = <FS_TEST>-EBELN.   <-------------- I'm encountering an error here. Because the <FS_TEST gets unassigned even though there was no UNASSIGN logic inside the IF ENDIF condition.

How do I resolve that?

Hello @walkerist 

Field symbols don't get unassigned automagically but themselves. Your code is as follows (make sure to format the code properly in your question):

ASSIGN IT_TABLE [ ... ] TO FIELD SYMBOL <FS_TEST>.
IF <FS_TEST> IS ASSIGNED.
ENDIF.
DATA(V_VAR1) = <FS_TEST>-EBELN.

If the assignment in the 1st line fails, then IF...ENDIF is not executed, but line 4 is. Thus, the line 4 is executed even if the field symbol is not assigned. 

Best regards

Actually, the the assignment was successful. The program were able to go inside the IF ENDIF logic. I'm curious why after that IF ENDIF, the <FS_TEST> went unassigned. But thanks.

You must have done something in the IF...ENDIF block to unassign the field symbol. If you had shared IF...ENDIF block source code, we would be able to help more.
