Performance Optimization in field symbols

[karthik_sub]

Hi Experts,

There was an existing code as below where observed that it consumes some time in the trace and <lt_data> holds around 40 records.

Is there an option that i can fine tune this to increase the performance. Thanks.

        LOOP AT <lt_data> ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_data>).
          ASSIGN COMPONENT 'fpm_bol_guibb_ref_0000000009' OF STRUCTURE <fs_data> TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_value>).
          IF <fs_value> IS ASSIGNED.
            <fs_value> = abap_true.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.

REgards,

"Some time", how much? Only 40 records? Probably it executes in 7 microseconds, but you could optimize it to 6 microseconds. So, it's not worth "optimizing". The only reason why it could take more time than 7 microseconds, is that the internal table used to contain millions of records which were deleted, in that case it might be worth optimizing (not even sure). Also, maybe you have incorrectly analyzed the performance issue.

I think you actually don't need the assign component statement.

<fs_data>-fpm_bol_guibb_ref_0000000009 = abap_true 

should do the job.

Apart from that I don't think there should be a performance issue at all. Maybe check with transaction SAT and check the hit list, concentrate on the statements with most net time.
