Modifying value of dynamic field-symbol

I have a requirement in which i need to access columns of a dynamic internal table , manipulate and update back to the dynamic internal table
Names of the columns are also not fixed. This i am determing at the runtime.
Following is the code used :
Loop at <dyn_table> assigning <dyn_wa>.
lv_field = p_fields " This is the field i am taking from the selection screen which needds to be manipulated.
ASSIGN COMPONENT lv_field OF STRUCTURE <dyn_wa> TO <fs_value>.
refresh itab.
split <fs_value> at ',' into table itab.
loop at itab.
assign other fields of the source package to new splited table.
ASSIGN <dyn_wa> TO <dyn_wa1>.
I have to assign the valuein itab to the third field in field symbols.
( so the code would be added here)*******************
append <dyn_wa1> to <dyn_table1>.
endloop.
endloop.
Kindly suggest some solution for this above requiremnt.
Regards,
Amruta

Hello,
Just try to use the below codes in appropriate place and let me know if further issues..
LOOP AT itab.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 3 OF STRUCTURE <dyn_wa1> to <fs_value>.
CLEAR : <fs_value>.
<fs_value> = itab-field name.
APPEND <dyn_wa1> TO <dyn_table1>.
ENDLOOP.
Thanks!

Assigning a value to a field-symbol (workarea of type any)

Dear forumers,
I'm having a bit of difficulty in assigning a value to a field-symbol (it should be treated as a workarea of type any), but I'm given a syntax error instead:-
The data object "<LFS_WORKAREA>" has no structure and therefore no component called "LFMON".
What could have gone wrong and how may I resolve this (I must have missed something out)? I will still need <LFS_WORKAREA> to be defined as TYPE ANY.
Please help. I'd appreciate any inputs at all. Thanks.

Read Data from the dynamic Field Symbol with key ?

Dear All,
I've 2 dynamic internal tables in the form of field symbols.
Now,I want to loop the item field symbol, read the header field symbol content and then move the corresponding into a final field symbol.
How to read the field symbol with key ?
When I'm trying to give the key clause in the paranthesis it's giving a syntax error.
Any clues ?

thanks a lot

HI
GOOD
Generic Type Specification
The following types allow you more freedom when using actual parameters. The data object only needs to have the selection of attributes specified.
Typing
Check for data object
No type specification
TYPE ANY
All types of data object are accepted. The field symbol adopts all of the attributes of the data object.
TYPE C, N, P, or X
Only data objects with type C, N, P, or X are accepted. The field symbol adopts the field length and DECIMALS specification (type P) of the data object.
TYPE TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is a standard internal table. This is a shortened form of TYPE STANDARD TABLE (see below).
TYPE ANY TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is an internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the attributes (line type, table type, key) from the data object.
TYPE INDEX TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is an index table (standard or sorted table). The field symbol inherits all of the attributes (line type, table type, key) from the data object.
TYPE STANDARD TABLE
The system checks whether the data object is a standard internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the remaining attributes (line type, key) from the data object.
TYPE SORTED TABLE
The system checks whether the actual parameter is a sorted internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the remaining attributes (line type, key) from the data object.
TYPE HASHED TABLE
The system checks whether the actual parameter is a hashed internal table. The field symbol inherits all of the remaining attributes (line type, key) from the data object.
If you specify a type generically, remember that the attributes inherited by the field symbol from the program are not statically recognizable in the program. You can, at most, address them dynamically.
TYPES: BEGIN OF line,
         col1 TYPE c,
         col2 TYPE c,
       END OF line.
DATA: wa TYPE line,
      itab TYPE HASHED TABLE OF line WITH UNIQUE KEY col1,
      key(4) TYPE c VALUE 'COL1'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY TABLE.
ASSIGN itab TO <fs>.
READ TABLE <fs> WITH TABLE KEY (key) = 'X' INTO wa.
The internal table ITAB is assigned to the generic field symbol <FS>, after which it is possible to address the table key of the field symbol dynamically. However, the static address
READ TABLE <fs> WITH TABLE KEY col1 = 'X' INTO wa.
is not possible syntactically, since the field symbol does not adopt the key of table ITAB until runtime. In the program, the type specification ANY TABLE only indicates that <FS> is a table. If the type had been ANY (or no type had been specified at all), even the specific internal table statement READ TABLE <FS> would not have been possible.
If you adopt a structured type generically (a structure, or a table with structured line type), the individual components cannot be addressed in the program either statically or dynamically. In this case, you would have to work with further field symbols and the method of assigning structures component by component.
Specifying the Type Fully
When you use the following types, the technical attributes of the field symbols are fully specified. The technical attributes of the data objects must correspond to those of the field symbol.
Typing
Technical attributes of the field symbol
TYPE D, F, I, or T
The field symbol has the technical attributes of the predefined elementary type
TYPE <type>
The field symbol has the type <type>. This is a data type defined within the program using the TYPES statement, or a type from the ABAP Dictionary
TYPE REF TO <cif>|DATA
The field symbol is a reference variable for the class or interface <cif>, or for a data object.
TYPE LINE OF <itab>
The field symbol has the same type as a line of the internal table <itab> defined using a TYPES statement or defined in the ABAP Dictionary
LIKE <f>
The field symbol has the same type as an internal data object <f> or structure, or a database table from the ABAP Dictionary
When you use a field symbol that is fully typed, you can address its attributes statically in the program, since they are recognized in the source code. If you fully specify the type of a field symbol as a reference or structured data object, you can address it as you would the data object itself, once you have assigned an object to it. So, for example, you could address the components of a structure, loop through an internal table, or create an object with reference to a field symbol.
REPORT demo_field_symbols_type .
DATA: BEGIN OF line,
         col1(1) TYPE c,
         col2(1) TYPE c VALUE 'X',
       END OF line.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> LIKE line.
ASSIGN line TO <fs>.
MOVE <fs>-col2 TO <fs>-col1.
The field symbol <FS> is fully typed as a structure, and you can address its components in the program.
Attaching a structure to a field symbol
The STRUCTURE addition forces a structured view of the data objects that you assign to a field symbol.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS> STRUCTURE <s> DEFAULT <f>.
The structure <s> is either a structured local data object in the program, or a flat structure from the ABAP Dictionary. <f> is a data object that must be assigned to the field symbol as a starting field. However, this assignment can be changed later using the ASSIGN statement.
When you assign a data object to the field symbol, the system only checks that it is at least as long as the structure. You can address the individual components of the field symbol. It has the same technical attributes as the structure <s>.
If <s> contains components with type I or F, you should remember the possible effects of alignment. When you assign a data object to a field symbol with a structure, the data object must have the same alignment, otherwise a runtime error may result. In such cases, you are advised to assign such data objects only to structured field symbols, which retain the same structure as the field symbol at least over the length of the structure.
The STRUCTURE is obsolete; you should no longer use it. Field symbols defined using the STRUCTURE addition are a mixture of typed field symbols and a utility for casting to either local or ABAP Dictionary data types. If you want to define the type of a field symbol, include the TYPE addition in a FIELD-SYMBOLS statement. If you want to use casting, include the CASTING addition in an ASSIGN statement.
Example using the obsolete STRUCTURE addition:
DATA: wa(10) VALUE '0123456789'.
DATA: BEGIN OF line1,
         col1(3),
         col2(2),
         col3(5),
      END OF line1.
DATA: BEGIN OF line2,
         col1(2),
         col2 LIKE sy-datum,
      END OF line2.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f1> STRUCTURE line1 DEFAULT wa,
               <f2> STRUCTURE line2 DEFAULT wa.
WRITE: / <f1>-col1, <f1>-col2, <f1>-col3,
       / <f2>-col1, <f2>-col2.
Example using the correct syntax (TYPE and CASTING):
DATA: wa(10) VALUE '0123456789'.
DATA: BEGIN OF line1,
         col1(3),
         col2(2),
         col3(5),
      END OF line1.
DATA: BEGIN OF line2,
         COL1(2),
         COL2 LIKE sy-datum,
      END OF line2.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f1> LIKE line1.
ASSIGN wa TO <f1> CASTING.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f2> LIKE line2.
ASSIGN wa TO <f2> CASTING.
WRITE: / <f1>-col1, <F1>-col2, <F1>-col3,
       / <f2>-col1, <F2>-col2.
In both cases, the list appears as follows:
012 34 56789
01 2345/67/89
This example declares two field symbols to which different structures are attached. The string WA is then assigned to each of them. The output shows that the field symbols assign the strings component by component according to the type of the components.

Move values of one field symbol to other field symbol of different structur

Hi all,
i need to move values of one field symbol to other field symbol of different structure.
I need to perform operations like MOVE-CORRESPONDING on two field symbols of different structure.
How can i achieve this?
field symbol 1 have 2 field and field symbol2 have 4 fields....
Best Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
You can use -
MOVE-CORRESPONDING <struct1> to <struc2>.
In this case it will move the contents of the components from struct1 to struct2 that has identical names.
You can refer this link also-

How to update the value inside a field symbol ?

ASSIGN COMPONENT 'MENGE' OF STRUCTURE <fs_line> TO <fs_field>.
<fs_field> = itab_stpo-menge.
COLLECT <fs_line> INTO <fs_table>.
.processing some code......
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'MENGE' OF STRUCTURE <fs_line> TO <fs_field>.
<fs_field> = ( itab_stpo-menge * itab_plpo-vgw03 ).
COLLECT <fs_line> INTO <fs_table>.
Hi, guys,
May i know is there a way to update the value in inside a field symbol?
I feel hard to figure out the way to solve this situation. Kindly give me some help or perhaos tell me other altenative way to do it also can.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Jiansi Lim on Apr 25, 2008 8:09 PM

hi check this...
For a structured data object s, you can use the statement
ASSIGN COMPONENT comp OF STRUCTURE s TO FS.
Here the comp is the component name or its index number in the structure.
Find the following sample code -
DATA: BEGIN OF LINE,
COL1 TYPE I VALUE '11',
COL2 TYPE I VALUE '22',
COL3 TYPE I VALUE '33',
END OF LINE.
DATA COMP(5) VALUE 'COL3'.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <F1>, <F2>, <F3>.
ASSIGN LINE TO <F1>.
ASSIGN COMP TO <F2>.
DO 3 TIMES.
ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE <F1> TO <F3>.
WRITE <F3>.
ENDDO.
ASSIGN COMPONENT <F2> OF STRUCTURE <F1> TO <F3>.
WRITE / <F3>.
The output is:
11 22 33
33

Read dynamic field symbol Work Area before append to dynamic table

Hi experts:
I have a dynamic work area but before doing an append to the dynamic table, I need to do some validation on some fields of the work area in order to decide to append it or not, but I don't know how...
More or less this is the example
loop at so_kschl.
    field = so_kschl-low.
    if <t_dyntable>-field = 0. "if the value of this field in dinamic table is 0.
don't append
    else.
       APPEND <fs_dyntable> TO <t_dyntable>.
    endif.
endloop.
Thank you very much for your help.

S_kyfs (a structure with a list of components and values – same list as would have)
Lt_data is a table of ls_data
I need to get the data in ls_chas into the ls_chas structure of ls_data and the ls_kyfs data into the ls_kyfs structure of ls_chas and append ls_chas to lt_data. Anything that is commented out is something I tried that didn't work. RIght now I get a dump at the 'loop at <chas> into ls_chasel' that the field symbol is not assigned.
Thanks for your help!

It looks like the the original poster didn't completely understand all he was doing. (This is why I always recommend getting an ABAP programmer in for what is, essentially, advanced ABAP programming, rather than someone "kind of familiar" with ABAP trying it - we're often available at very reasonable rates ).
It seems he's using ito_chasel to set the fixed values (which is in fact quite smart!). What isn't required, so far as I can tell without implementing, are any of the statements involving <ls_kyfs> or <ls_chas>.
The following should be sufficient (with the necessary declarations etc. - but really: omit <ls_kyfs> and <ls_chas> - I'm sure they're not needed and they confuse things).
" Go through the data from the flat file
LOOP AT gt_file INTO ls_file.
CLEAR <ls_data>.
" Transfer the characteristics
MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_file TO <s_chas>.
" Transfer the key figure
MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_file TO <s_kyfs>.
" Go through the fixed characteristic selections from the package
LOOP AT ito_chasel INTO ls_chasel.
    " We only care about the first value (if there is one).
    READ TABLE ls_chasel-s_charng INTO ls_charng INDEX 1.
    " Check there is a first value and that it is fixed
    CHECK sy-subrc IS INITIAL AND ls_charng EQ 'EQ'.
    " Get access to that characteristic
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <fixed_value> TYPE ANY.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_chasel-chanm OF STRUCTURE <s_chas> TO <fixed_value>.
    " Make sure that it exists in the data structure
    CHECK sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
    " Set the value
    <fixed_value> = ls_charng-low.

Read Dynamic Field Symbol

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.

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.

This is where I am stucked how to put the dates as the columns while displaying and then put the duration in the rows corresponding to the columns.
Any help is appriciated.
THERE ARE LOT OF EXAMPLES on forum but some how I am not able to grasp it in my code, may be my knowledge of field symbols falling short. I guess I need to use Header / field groups but not clicking me .
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I changed ur code a little.... i dont know whether it will work or not...
But it will give u some idea...
1. when preparing the Fieldcatalog.
*now add all the dates.
LOOP AT dtrange.
* cntr = 1.
* CONCATENATE fname cntr INTO fname.
fname = dtrange-ddate.    "---u may need to change this (but give a date here)
ctext = dtrange-ddate.
wa_fieldcat-fieldname = fname.
wa_fieldcat-inttype = 'C'.
wa_fieldcat-outputlen = '6'.
wa_fieldcat-coltext = ctext.
wa_fieldcat-seltext = wa_fieldcat-coltext.
cntr = cntr + 1.
CLEAR fname.
APPEND wa_fieldcat TO t_fieldcat1.
ENDLOOP.
2. When adding values...
SORT itab BY name.
LOOP AT itab.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'NAME' OF STRUCTURE <wa_dyn_table> TO <w_field>.
<w_field> = itab-name.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'Wtavgtime' OF STRUCTURE <wa_dyn_table> TO <w_field>.
<w_field> = itab-wtavgtime.
cntr = 0.
* DO.
*    cntr = 1.
*    CONCATENATE fname cntr INTO fname.
*    ASSIGN COMPONENT fname OF STRUCTURE <wa_dyn_table> TO <w_field>.
fname = itab-strtdate.                  "---same thing here
ASSIGN COMPONENT fname OF STRUCTURE <wa_dyn_table> TO <w_field>.
IF <w_field> IS ASSIGND.
    <w_field> = itab-durinmin.
ENDIF.
AT END OF name.
    MODIFY <t_dyn_table> FROM <wa_dyn_table>.
ENDAT.
* ENDDO.
ENDLOOP.

Modify value of a field using a function - Form Personalization

Hi everyone I am doing a simple form personalization where i have to update a form field.
I have written a function and run it on the database that will modify the value.
But am not able to pass the value to the function .
Action Type: Property
Object Type: Item
Target Object: TACC_ACC_ASSGN.ACCOUNTING_FLEX
Property Name: VALUE
Value: apps.<myFunctionName>(the field value that i need to change)
But am not able to provide the field value.
Can anyone help me please.
Regards
Lutchumaya

I think you have to pass in this fashion:
{$:FUNCTION_NAME.FIELD_NAME} in order for the database function to understand the value of the field.
Thanks

How to pass values in dynamic fields in LX03

HI ,
i want to pass values for dyanmic fields in lx03 program by calling this in my own program through call transction or submit report .

LX03 is the report program so you have to use Submit report.
See the simple example :
REPORT ZTEST_98 .
DATA: t_param LIKE rsparams OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
parameters p_LGNUM like lagp-lgnum obligatory.
start-of-selection.
      t_param-selname = 'S1_LGNUM'.
      t_param-kind = 'P'.
      t_param-low = p_lgnum.
      APPEND t_param.
*-- Period
SUBMIT RLS10030 VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
                          WITH SELECTION-TABLE t_param
                          AND RETURN.
Just press F1 on submit and you get good documentation.
Thanks

Hello friends,
Rich,
The piece of code you suggested didn't work, and still led to the short dump.
Naimesh,
I agree that XVBRK is not declared globally, and if it is a Table, and declared as global work area using Tables, we could have used it directly using ASSIGN (VBRK)...
But, since its not the case, I am not able to do so...
Still, my requirement remains the same. I have to get the invoices created (in memory) but not saved during a collective billing run.
And the required data is available in the (SAPLV60A)XVBRK internal table, from which I am able to retrieve it for the first time, but clicking on the conditions tab in the item details leads to this short dump, becs (SAPLV60A)XVBRK[] isn't available at that moment. Still, if it is not available I suppose it should just set the sy-subrc to 4 instead of ending into a short-dump.
Jürgen Hartwig,
I know ZPROGRAM 1 can't work in ZPROGRAM 2, but it doesnt leads to the short dump either, does it? But in case of pricing it gives the run time error, this is exception I want to handle!
XVBRK is not declared globally, but since SAPLV60A calls a perform in SAPLV61A, it remains in the ABAP stack and we can access it using (SAPLV60A)XVBRK[] kind of assignment.
When the same is called during Item Conditions display, its PBO is in the stack but not other forms (in which it might have defined).
Rich, is there a way to get all the variables available in scope at any instance during runtime?
Well, Jürgen, I though it Germany it was called "schmutzig zuweisen" :-)... by the way, the same method has been used at several places in standard SAP programs with the sy-subrc check.
Reference Data:
when the assignment happens successfully, the ABAP Stack looks similar to:
Call | Program   | Subroutine
10   | SAPLV61A | some_subrountine
09   | SAPLV61A | some_subrountine
08   | SAPLV61A | some_subrountine
07   | SAPLV60A | some_subrountine
06   | SAPLV60A | some_subrountine
05   | SAPLV60A | some_subrountine
04   | SAPLV60A | some_subrountine
03   | SAPLV60A | some_subrountine
02   | SAPLV60A | some_XKOMV_AUBE..subrountine
01   | SAPLV60A | PAI_some_subrountine
when the assignment doesnt happens, the ABAP Stack looks similar to:
04   | SAPLV61A | some_subrountine
03   | SAPLV61A | some_subrountine
02   | SAPLV61A | some_subrountine
01   | SAPLV60A | PBO_some_subrountine
