Read Dynamic Field Symbol

[Former Member]

Hello ,

I have a field symbol where i am not aware of fields (Column Name) , i mean column names are Dynamic.

Problem is i need to read this field symbol value , how can i do it . It will always have 1 record

Example

Field Symbol looks something like this

<FS> Column Name dynamic -

---

>

A B C

Record

1 2 3

So now i have to refer to Second Column (i.e. is B in this case) , how should i do

What i tried .

1. <FS>-(Column Name in variable in brackets) - It doesnt work , Error Message unable to interpret the number B

2. <FS>[1] - Error out.

use ASSSIGN COMPONENT statement

and ASSIGN statement

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS1>, <FS2>.

loop at itab.

ASSIGN COMPONENT (COLUMN NAME / INDEX) OF ITAB TO <FS1>.

ASSIGN (VALUE) TO <FS2>.

<FS1> = <FS2>.

ENDLOOP.

Rajiv,

It doesn't work like that.

This is what you will have to do.

field-symbols : <fs_any> type any

ASSIGN COMPINENT 'COLUMN1' OF STRUCTURE <fs> TO <fs_Any>.

Now, <fs_any> will have the value of the column, you will have to do this for all the columns.

Regards,

Ravi

For a structured data object <s>, you can use the statement

<b>

ASSIGN COMPONENT <comp> OF STRUCTURE <s> TO <FS>.

</b>

to assign one of its components <comp> to the field symbol <FS>. You can specify the

component <comp> either as a literal or a variable. If <comp> is of type C or a structure which

has no internal tables as components, it specifies the name of the component. If <comp> has any

other elementary data type, it is converted to type I and specifies the number of the component.

In the assignment is successful, SY-SUBRC is set to 0. Otherwise, it returns 4.

if you know the column position you can use like below.

assign component 2 of structure <sorucefs> to <targetfs>.
