Field Symbol Issue

Hello Experts,
I'm very new to field-symbols and having challenge when using them. Basically I'm only trying to use specific column value from one type of field symbol to another but keep having short dump. I tried to re-wirte my code using work area and it works though.
Can somebody have a look at my code and tell me what is causing the problem and how to resolve it.
DATA:
     lit_variables    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zut_variables INITIAL SIZE 0,
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
      <fs_variables>     type zut_variables,
      <fs_rang_var>     type zus_variables.
    loop at lit_variables ASSIGNING <fs_variables>.
        if <fs_variables> is assigned.
           <fs_range_var>-high   = <fs_variables>-high.
           <fs_range_var>-low    = <fs_variables>-low.
           <fs_range_var>-sign   = <fs_variables>-sign.
           <fs_range_var>-option = <fs_variables>-zoption.
        endif.
    endloop.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
As you are using same structure for field symbols , no need of using field symbols.
You can use work area.
If you doesnt no the structure , you can assign field symbol.
field-symbols <fs> type any.

Field symbols issue

Hi,
I am new to using field-symbols and having this peculiar problem:
In a program, I am dynamically defining a table where employee subgroups will be columns.
CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
    EXPORTING
      IT_FIELDCATALOG = IT_FIELDCAT
    IMPORTING
      EP_TABLE        = NEW_TABLE.
* Create a new Line with the same structure of the table.
ASSIGN NEW_TABLE->* TO <L_TABLE>.
CREATE DATA NEW_LINE LIKE LINE OF <L_TABLE>.
ASSIGN NEW_LINE->* TO <L_LINE>.
Next, I intend to summarise this data according to company code, so I defined two other field symbols of type ANY TABLE :
field-symbols: <BUKRS_TAB1> type any table.
field-symbols: <BUKRS_TAB2> type any table.
ASSIGN NEW_TABLE->* TO <BUKRS_TAB1>.
ASSIGN NEW_TABLE->* TO <BUKRS_TAB2>.
However, before I execute COLLECT, I found that these two <BUKRS_TAB1> & <BUKRS_TAB2> already contain the same data as ITAB_FINAL.
Also, attempting to clear any of these field symbols results in CLEAR-ing of other field-symbols too.
Any suggestions for me?

Its OK, I used different NEW_TABLE for each field symbol and it is working fine.

Opening query in BEx field symbol issue

Hi,
I'm facing a problem in opening BEx Analyzer 7.0.
After starting BEx and logging on to the system a "BI Server error"-popup appears mentioning that there is a problem in the communication with the BI-server and that therefore the connection to the BI-server has been broken. The detailed error is: "Field symbol has not yet been assigned".
When clicking OK and logging on for the second time there is no problem.
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
Thanks,
Michel Scheres

Hi,
Front end is not installed properly. You can contact basis team it will resolve.

Issue with field symbol not assigned in SMQ2

We are facing an issue with an error in SMQ2.
The error is "field symbol not assigned". There is also short dump in ST22.
I have read the previous forum threads and it talks about going into the debugger mode.
However, which is the program to be debugged ?
How do I navigate from SMQ2 to the ABAP program.
Kindly let me know.
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
You need to debug program RSTRFCM3. This is the program which drives SMQ2.
However just check if there are any support pack upgrades to the program recently since this is a standard program.

Using field symbols in method issue

HI All
I created a method as follows and the problem is that when i enter
to the method the i have dump since the field symbol is not
assigned
there is a nice way that i can by-pass this issue ,
the reason that i created a method for that is that
i need to do this operation several of time in my code

HI Matt
The value of the field is acatully data (this part working Ok)
and after the assign the sybrc = 0.
the problem is with the statment
es_attr = <ls_attr>.
The statment is

    con_types(
      EXPORTING
        ls_target_str = ls_target_node-data-attribute_struct    " Name of Attribute Structure of Node Entity

And the signature is
LS_TARGET_STR     Importing     Type     Z_ATTR_STRUCT
ES_ATTR             Exporting     Type     ANY
The code of convert types is
FIELD-SYMBOLS <ls_attr> TYPE any.
DATA lo_attr TYPE REF TO data.
CREATE DATA lo_attr TYPE (ls_target_str).
ASSIGN lo_attr->* TO <ls_attr>.
es_attr = <ls_attr>.
***********This is the place that i am
getting the dump . with -> es_attr = <ls_attr>
maybe its becouse that lr_struct is defiend type ref to data .
How can i solve this issue ?

Accessing the variable in field symbol of nested internal table

Hi,
I am unable to access the variable in field symbol.
The data in field symbol has nested structure. We need to access a variable in nested structure.
Please find the code below:
      LOOP AT <i_fincorp> into <fs_fincorp>.
        l_madefor = <FS_FINCORP>-data_UI-ZZ0010.
      ENDLOOP.
datatype of <i_fincorp> is type any table and <fs_fincorp> is type any.
there is a structure 'data_ui' in <i_fincorp> and we need value of field 'ZZ0010' in data_ui structure.
But, we are getting syntax error for statement in loop stating "There is no component like 'data_ui' in <fs_fincorp>".
Can anyone please help me solving this issue.
Regards,
Santosh

So simply access it dynamically
data: nested_field type c length 50.
field-symbols <nested_field> type any.
"build the nested field name dynamically
concatenate
       'DATA_UI'    "first give structure name
       'ZZ0010' "then give field name (all in uppercase!)
into nested_field
separated by '-'. "now you have DATA_UI-ZZ0010
"so assing this nested field
LOOP AT <i_fincorp> into <fs_fincorp>.
   assign component (nested_field) of structure <fs_fincorp> into <nested_field>.
ENDLOOP.

Field symbols to itab

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to transfer field symbol (defined as table) contents into my internal table in my program.
The requirement is like this:
Loop at xtab.
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_READ_OBJECT_BY_HANDLE'
          EXPORTING
            iv_handle               = lv_handle
            iv_read_class_data      = 'CONTEXT'
          CHANGING
            ct_obj_data             = lt_tables
lt_tables has multiple records relatin to 2 specific tables. The structure of lt_tables is 1. tabname, 2. data
data will be stored in lt_tables as -->      MARA |    Standard Table[3x2(15)
                                                                VBAP   |    Standard Table[2x4(18)    and so on.
I need to get the records of MARA and VBAP into separate itabs.
filed-symbols <gt_mara> type standard table.
IF ls_tables-tabname = 'MARA'.
              ASSIGN ls_tables-tabref->* TO <gt_mara>.
              IF sy-subrc = 0.
logic to move <gt_mara> data into i_final shud be here.
           refresh <gt_mara>.
             endif.
endif.
endloop.
The issue is how to get the contents of <gt_mara> into an i_final.
There are going to be multpile records each time. We need to loop the table <gt_mara>. The records shud be shown in ALV output.

Field-symbols as parameters to the method of a class

Hi All,
I am having an doubt regarding the field-symbols.Can we pass the field-symbols as a parameter to the method of a class.If yes can anyone tell me how to do this. Before posting I have searched regarding it in google but I did not find any better solution.Though I have seen some examples regarding the passing of field symbols as a parameter those scenarios does not match with my report as my report varies dynamically based on selection criteria.
Below is the snippet of my code regarding the passing of field-symbols as a parameter.

With the above code I am getting an error.Check whether it is correct or not.If not suggest the solution to resolve the issue.

Maybe if you change this code below to field-symbol, it can work:

Regarding error "Field symbol is not assigned." during print preview

Hi experts,
    I am getting dump while trying print preview for particular POs in ME23n transaction(ECC 6.0). Please refer the below dump error:
Runtime Errors         GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED_RANGE
Date and Time          29.09.2009 19:30:39
Short dump has not been completely stored (too big)
Short text
     Field symbol is not assigned.
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "SAPLSTXC" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
     A field symbol that was not assigned was accessed
     (data segment no. 32769).
    The field symbol is no longer assigned because there was an attempt
    makde previously in a Unicode program to set the field symbol using
    ASSIGN with offset and/or length specification. Here, the memory
    addressed by the offset/length specification was not within the
    allowed area.
How to correct the error
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED_RANGE" " "
    "SAPLSTXC" or "LSTXCFFT"
    "FT_COMPOSE"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
       To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
   2. Corresponding system log
      Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
      Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
   after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
   (Unconverted)".
   3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
   program: The source code of the program
      In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
   Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
   4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
   actions and input led to the error.
I am getting this dump only for few POs.. Rest of the POs are able to print. I am not able to find notes for this issue. Is there any SAP notes available for that or Is there any configuration issue related to this?
Please provide solution for thsi as soon as possible.
Thanks and Regards
Subbu

A field symbol is not assigned, but thats what the dump is telling you. Mostly this happens, when fields or function modules are stored by name, like the fieldnames in the fieldcatalog in an ALV report. It a field referenced in such a way does not exist you will get this error. Always store fieldnames and function names in capital letters and check mistyping of 1L 8B and so on.

EXTREME Dynamic List of Field Symbols

Hi All,
This requirement have created lots of issues fo me and oculd not reach it, hence i am here :
Internal table 1 with 'a' columns                    Internal Table 2 with 'b' columns
a1    a2     a3                                                b1      b2      b3
11     22    150                                               10      20       30
Note: BOTH ARE FIELD-SYMBOL INTERNAL TABLE of TYPE ANY and HAVE NO STRUCTURE UNTIL RUNTIME
What I want is a
- Get a List of How many columns are in FIELD SYMBOL Internal Table 1 at RUNTIME.
- DYNAMIC MAPPING TABLE that reads the HEADER OF COLUMNS and its DATA maps them in a Internal table at RUNTIME.
Col1    Col2     Col3    Col4
a1      11         b1        10
a2      22         b2        20
a3      150       b3       30

Hi,
- Get a List of How many columns are in FIELD SYMBOL Internal Table 1 at RUNTIME.
You will have to use RTTS class for that. Something like:
lo_sdescr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data_ref( lo_data ). "lo_data containing ref. to your field-symbols
LOOP AT lo_sdescr->components INTO ls_component.
ENDLOOP
- DYNAMIC MAPPING TABLE that reads the HEADER OF COLUMNS and its DATA maps them in a Internal table at RUNTIME.
I don't see the need of a dynamic itab here, since the number/type of column seems to be fixed...
If needed, build it up using RTTS as well.

Create DATA "XXXX" TYPE TABLE OF ty_fcat. Where "XXX" name is obtained from an internal table with data names...Can i use the read the statement on the internal table and creat the DATA?
Problem 3
Matching the name of the field-symbol obtained from the abap program with a "name" stored in an ITAB. If the name matches do the following:-
CREATE DATA 'XXXX' TYPE TABLE OF ty_fcat. (remember 'XXXX' is obtained by reading internal table.
ASSIGN 'XXXX->* TO <ITAB> (obtained from the abap program)
Appreciate guidance on this matter. thank you!!!! God Bless!

Hi Salman,
1) Once you assign some table to your field symbol, its dynamic type will be the same as the table assigned.
So you use the same approach as described in your last thread.
"suppose you have a table assigned to <tab>
"describe it by name
lr_tabdescr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <tab> ).
lr_strucdescr ?= lr_tabdescr->GET_TABLE_LINE_TYPE( ).
"and get its line type components
it_components = lr_strucdescr->get_components( ).
loop at it_components.
"show all component names
write: it_components-name.
endloop.
2) This statement has such form
data lr_data type ref to data.
CREATE DATA lr_data TYPE ...
In here lr_data must be data reference (no its name). TYPE can be provided dynamically in form of ('SOME_DDIC_TYPE'). So in your case this statement is not correct. You can't provide lr_data dynamically.
So this one you will have to elaborate a bit in order we could understand what you want to achieve.
3) Here I totally don't know what you mean. I think this relates somehow to first two points. So please tell us what is the requirement from the scratch, maybe this will shed more light on your issue.
BTW: Please post such questions in ABAP General as this is not DDIC related issue.

FIELD-SYMBOLS
Basic form
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.
Additions
1. ... STRUCTURE s DEFAULT wa
2. ... TYPE t
3. ... TYPE LINE OF t
4. ... LIKE s
5. ... LIKE LINE OF s
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN . All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT>.
TABLES SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... STRUCTURE s DEFAULT wa
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP/4 Dictionary ( s ). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname . The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT .
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s . If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.
Addition 2
... TYPE t
Addition 3
... TYPE LINE OF t
Addition 4
... LIKE s
Addition 5
... LIKE LINE OF s
Effect
You can use additions 2 to 5 to type field symbols in the same way as FORM parameters (see also Type assignment of subroutine parameters). ASSIGN performs the same type checks as with USING parameters of FORM s.
