hi,

Field Symbol is just like a pointer in C but more than a pointer bec it ll not only refer the address it also changes the value of it..

Directly its having reference to address of the variable.

We can use the field symbols mostly where we mostly need to update option to the data base.

See the example code.

<fs>-field1 = 'name'.

<fs>-field2 = 'Age'.

append <fs> to itab.

No need of modify.

In the above case append is not needed since it will directly be appended to the internal table. Aslo field symbols can also be used in loops.

Thanks and Regards,

Vijay
