Field Symbol Problem

Hi All,
I want to select the data of a standard table directly into an internal table but I am not able to get that.
Note : I am working 4.6C version of SAP
Please see the below code :
REPORT zdwnld_tabl_data .
PARAMETERS : p_tabl1 TYPE dd02v-tabname.
DATA : ddobtype TYPE dd02v-tabclass.
DATA : ref TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <data_tab> TYPE ANY.
CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_NAMETAB_GET'
 EXPORTING
 tabname = p_tabl1
 all_types = ' '
 IMPORTING
 ddobjtype = ddobtype
 EXCEPTIONS
 OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0 OR ddobtype = 'INTTAB'.
RAISE tabl_not_found.
ENDIF.
CREATE DATA ref type (p_tabl1).
ASSIGN ref->* TO <data_tab>.
SELECT * FROM (p_tabl1) INTO <data_tab>.
ENDSELECT.
Here if I dont want SELECT....ENDSELECT but want the data directly into an internal table. When I change the select statement as follows :
SELECT * FROM (p_tabl1) INTO table <data_tab>.
it throws error saying <data_tab> is not an internal table. I understand the error.
To resolve this error when I change the FIELD SYMBOL declaration as
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <data_tab> TYPE TABLE. OR FIELD-SYMBOLS : <data_tab> TYPE ANY TABLE. , the program dumps on ASSIGN ref-> statement saying error as Type conflict with ASSIGN in program.
Any idea how this can be resolved.

Hi Koen De Ruyck,
Your answer was very very helpful. I have come to a conclusion that, in 4.6 C we can get the data into an internal dynamic table only by using the method create_dynamic_table of class cl_alv_table_create.
All the above methods suggested didnt work.
REPORT zdwnld_tabl_data .
PARAMETERS : p_tabl1 TYPE dd02v-tabname.
DATA: dy_table TYPE REF TO data,
 dy_line TYPE REF TO data.
DATA : it_fcat TYPE lvc_t_fcat.
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <data_tab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
 <dyn_wa>.
CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
EXPORTING
* I_BUFFER_ACTIVE =
 i_structure_name = p_tabl1
* I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPLAY = 'X'
* I_BYPASSING_BUFFER =
CHANGING
 ct_fieldcat = it_fcat
* EXCEPTIONS
* INCONSISTENT_INTERFACE = 1
* PROGRAM_ERROR = 2
* OTHERS = 3
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
EXPORTING
* I_STYLE_TABLE =
 it_fieldcatalog = it_fcat
IMPORTING
 ep_table = dy_table
* E_STYLE_FNAME =
* EXCEPTIONS
* GENERATE_SUBPOOL_DIR_FULL = 1
* others = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
ASSIGN dy_table->* TO <data_tab>.
SELECT * FROM (p_tabl1) INTO TABLE <data_tab>.
However I have tested this with some tables, its working fine but its giving dump for MARA table, the dump says output table is too small , any idea on how we can overcome this error.

Problem in assigning field symbol to a nested internal table

Hi All,
I have searched the forum but could not find a solution to this problem. I have a requirement where I need to define an internal table within an internal table, so I have used pointer within the outer internal table(itab2) which point to the inner table. However, I am facing problem while assigning the pointer.
data: begin of struct1 occurs 0,
 fld3(10) type C,
 end of struct1.
data: begin of itab2 occurs 0,
 fld1(10) type C,
 fld2(10) type C,
 p_inner like ref to struct1,
 end of itab2.
field-symbols <inner_table> type any.
I want to assign "itab2->p_inner->* " to "<inner_table>".
However, the following statement is Not working:
assign itab2->p_inner->* to <inner_table>.
I want to fill the values within fields fld1, fld2 and fld3 and append it in itab2.
The final table should be like:
ITAB2:
fld1 fld2 fld3
aa bb cc
 dd
 ee
11 22 33
 44
 55
I have tried many other ways too but could not suceed, please help.
Thanks,
Vishal.

Thanks Matt,
But how do I append the values within this internal table ??
When I am using the following code:
ls_wa-fld3 = 'A'.
ls_wa-t_in-fld1 = 'B'.
ls_wa-t_in-fld2 = 'C'.
ls_wa-t_in-fld1 = 'D'.
ls_wa-t_in-fld2 = 'E'.
append ls_wa to lt_tab.
Its giving an error that:
The data object "LS_WA" does not have a component called "T_IN-FLD1".
I wanted the values to be appended in the following way in lt_tab:
fld3 fld1 fld2
A B C
 D E
Please help.

Problem with slis_t_specialcol_alv Field Symbol Assignment

I have created a dynamic internal table (runtime determined number of columns) to contain data to be displayed in an ALV. Ive also made ensured that the last column of the dynamic itab is of type 'slis_t_specialcol_alv' and named CINFO to contain color information for that particular row. In the code below the dynamic itab is pointed to by field symbol <dyn_table> while the work area for it would be <dyn_wa>.
Somewhere down the line I attempt to assign the CINFO component of the current row of the itab to a field symbol called <fs_cinfo> typed as slist_t_specialcol_alv (Same as CINFO).
I used the code:
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'CINFO' OF STRUCTURE <dyn_wa> TO <fs_cinfo>.
This gives me the runtime error:
Type conflict in the ASSIGN statement in the program "ZHRR001_TEMMATRIX".
You attempted to assign a field to a typed field symbol,
but the field does not have the required type. 
I am unsure why this happens as both the component CINFO and FS <fs_cinfo> are of type slist_t_specialcol_alv.
For some odd reason though during debugging, I took a look at the <dyn_wa> structure and the component type of CINFO was displayed as C???
Here is the relevant portion of code (creation of dynamic itab and attempting to assign <fs_cinfo>)
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <dyn_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
 <dyn_wa>.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_cinfo> TYPE slist_t_specialcol_alv.

Hello Sow
There is a big problem in the program: you are mixing types used for FM-based ALV (SLIS_...) and ABAP-OO based ALV (LVC_...).
For ABAP-OO based row colouring you have to define your itab like this:
TYPES: ty_s_outtab.
INCLUDE TYPE kna1. " just an example
TYPES: rowcolor(4) TYPE c.
TYPES: END OF ty_s_outtab.
TYPES: ty_t_outtab TYPE STANDARD TABLE of ty_s_outtab
 WITH DEFAULT KEY.
In the layout (LVC_S_LAYO) you have to set ls_layout-info_fname = 'ROWCOLOR'.
ROWCOLOR has to be filled according to Cxyz whereas
- x = color
- y = inverse on/off
- z = intensified on/off

Problem with field symbols in ecc 6.0

i have the following code written in 4.6 version now i am executing the old report in 6.0 but i am facing with some unicode error.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
 <line_of_bs_table> LIKE tbl1024,
 READ TABLE bs_table INDEX row_bst ASSIGNING <line_of_bs_table> .
 buffer_bsbuffer_ptr(aux) = <line_of_bs_table> >col_bst.
tb1024 is standard sap structure for storing buffer contents
i have the following error in ecc 6.0
structure type '<line_of_bs_table> >+col_bst' does not start with a charecter type field in unicode programs in such cases
offset/ length declarations are not allowed.
can any one tell how can a field symbol structure is changed to charecter type.

Hi elinuk,
you have already posted this thread in the ABAP general forum under problem in field symbols in ecc6.0 and I think that this forum is more related to this issue than the DMS forum. So please close this thread and investigate this issue further in the ABAP general forum.
Best regards,
Christoph

Problem with field-symbol values not updating

H i ,
 I have following piece of code :
Assigning Dynamic Table to Field Symbol
 ASSIGN ist_dyn_table->* TO <gs_dyn_table>.
* Creating Structure for dynamic table
 CREATE DATA gs_dyn_line LIKE LINE OF <gs_dyn_table>.
* Creating line type for the Dynamic Values
 ASSIGN gs_dyn_line->* TO <gs_line>.

 LOOP AT ist_pwcl_main INTO wa_pwcl_main.
 ASSIGN COMPONENT gc_fld_werks OF STRUCTURE <gs_line> TO <gs_field>.
 1 IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
 2 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-werks.
 3 ENDIF.
 5 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
 6 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-vbeln.
 ENDIF.
7 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
8 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-posnr.
 ENDIF.
 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-quant.
 ENDIF.
on debugging at line 2 <gs_filed> contains the value of werks .
but at line 6 <gs_field> contains value of vbeln as 0 and at 8 of posnr as 0 .
What can be the problem ? Other values are getting assigned properly .
Plz help ...

Hi,
Assigning Dynamic Table to Field Symbol
 ASSIGN ist_dyn_table->* TO <gs_dyn_table>.
Creating Structure for dynamic table
 CREATE DATA gs_dyn_line LIKE LINE OF <gs_dyn_table>.
Creating line type for the Dynamic Values

 2 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-werks.
 3 ENDIF.
 5 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
 6 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-vbeln.
 ENDIF.
7 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
8 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-posnr.
 ENDIF.
 IF <gs_field> IS ASSIGNED.
 <gs_field> = wa_pwcl_main-quant.
 ENDIF.
Based on your coding above, <gs_field> has been assigned with data type 'WERKS' (i'd assume component gc_fld_werks found from structure <gs_line> is a plant typed), which is a CHAR(4) data type.
Meaning, if <gs_field> is assigned with Plant type value, e.g. <gs_field> = '1000', field symbol <gs_field> will contain 4 character only.
At line 6, if wa_pwcl_main-vbeln = '0000201000', <gs_field> is only capturing '0000' only. This is also happened to line 8.
However, it looks like that <gs_field> is getting over-write if ASSIGNED statement returns SY-SUBRC = 0.
Hope this helps.

Patrick

Problem with FIELD SYMBOL upgrading from 46c to ECC6.0

Hi people... i'm having big trouble making an upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6.0 with this portion of code of Z's programm.
In the line
ASSIGN (w_field) TO <fs_field>.
i don't see any assigment, so <fs_field> remains empty, when enters into firts IF conditions it is TRUE, then go into second IF condition, it is FALSE, and finally assing
<fs_field> = '/'.
, at this point i have a DUMP telling me MOVE_TO_LIT_NOTALLOWED_NODATA

Edited by: Matt on Dec 15, 2008 5:03 PM - Made subject more informative

Gentlemen:
The problem around this statement:
ASSIGN (w_field) TO <fs_field>
is explained as follows:
1. In ABAP language, there are two ways for assigning a new value to a field-symbol.
- Sentence: ASSIGN (values) TO <my_field_symbol>.
In this case, the <my_field_symbol> receives from (w_field) the data type and value content of this variable. So, we keep that a FSymbol is assigned and, at the same time, receives an initial value.
- Sentence: <my_field_symbol> = '/' or <my_field_symbol> = my_var.
In this way, we only pass the content of the variable next to = sign. But before this, the field-symbol must had been assigned (using ASSIGN statement), in another case, the compiler raises an exception.
Following the example of Federico... I think he tried to assign a field like this (please, supose the program imports the structure of a database table with a standard function, into a internal table which is looped by the work area w_field ):
- If w_field contains 'BKPF-WERKS', so sentence ASSIGN will affect the field symbol, passing to this the data type and current content of table field BKPF-WERKS.
- If w_field contains 'BKPF-.INCLUDE': *the column .INCLUDE obviously is not associated with a data type... so our statement ASSIGN... TO... never pass any data type or value to our field-symbol. So that, this field is never initialized properly, and when inmmediately you try to execute something like this: <my_field_symbol> = '/', the game (program) is over.. XD
I hope this post was helpful for anyone...

Problem trying to create FIELD SYMBOLS in BADI.

Hi guys!
I'm trying to create a Field Symbol in method CHECK of BADI me_process_req_cust (well, I'm working on a Z implementation).
The problem is that I'm trying to create a FIELD SYMBOL and when I check the syntaxsis, I receive the next error:
Clase ZCL_IM_MM_PURREQ_UPDATE,Método IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST~CHECK
Names may only consist of the characters "A-Z", "0-9" and "_". In
addition, they may not begin with a number.
This is the code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy-mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
Any idea????
Thanks in advance!
Bet

Hi Silveria,
The problem lies in
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy-mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
instead of that it should be something like this
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy_mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
With your code you will be getting a syntax error saying sy-mereq is not defined,as it will be looking for the mereq in the system fields.

Problem with populating internal with field-symbol

hi all,
 I have following structure of internal table .
internal Table 1(int1) : source,source_field, and other fields.
internal Table 2 (int2): x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6 .
Read table 1 assigning <gs_t1> with....
assign ( <gs_t1>-source_field ) to <ld_char> .
case <gs_t1>-source.
when 'int1'.
 Read int1 assgining <gs_int1> .
 ASSIGN COMPONENT <ld_char> OF STRUCTURE <gs_int1>
 TO <fs_char>.
wa_output-x1 = <fs_char>.
simillarly,
ASSIGN COMPONENT <ld_char> OF STRUCTURE <gs_int1>
 TO <fs_char>.
wa_output-x2 = <fs_char>.
The source_field of int1 contains any value either it can be x2,x3,x4 .
Now the problem is how my work wa_output should know that <fs_char> contains value of field x1 .
I mean to say how we willl determine that value to be passed is to wa_output-x1 or wa_output-x2 as <ld_char> is just a pointer we cannot determine anything .
so how should i make my workarea . It can be made as a fields-symbol but how to that .
As it is having a strucutre of like :
componenet component_type
CONTROLLER PRXCTRLTAB<-this is also a line type having value two fields
x1 char5
x2 char5
Plz help...

Hi all,
i have to pass all field values after obtaining them to a workarea wa_output .
data : wa_output type xyz.

 BINARY SEARCH.
 ASSIGN COMPONENT <ld_char_val> OF STRUCTURE
 <gs_smp_tst_lab> TO <fs_char>.
 CONCATENATE 'WA_OUTPUT-' <fs_char> INTO l_field.
 ASSIGN (l_field) TO <wa_field>.
 <wa_field> = <fs_char>.
 read table ist_temp .........
<wa_field> = <fs_char>.
I have done this but <wa_field> actually holds the current data of <fs_char>
it should be like
wa_ouput-f1 = <fs_char>..
 wa_output-f2 = <fs_char>.
 and the appending it to wa_output to i_output .
How we can do this using field-symbol.
Plz required help.
Regards.

Problem FIELD-SYMBOL with HASHED TABLE

Problem related to field-Symbol?

HI All,
I am writting the below coding, Please tell me whether the Field Symbol will act as a table or not as I want to append a lot of data to field symbol. Please tell me is there any problem in the code.
LOOP AT lt_vepoequi_keys into ls_vepoequi_keys.
 READ TABLE lt_vekp ASSIGNING <ls_vekp_str> with key
 matnr = ls_vepoequi_keys-matnr.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 <ls_vekp_str>-stoff = ls_vepoequi_keys-stoff.
 <ls_vekp_str>-sonum = ls_vepoequi_keys-sonum.
 <ls_vekp_str>-lagkl = ls_vepoequi_keys-lagkl.
 <ls_vekp_str>-lagkt = ls_vepoequi_keys-lagkt.
endif.
endloop.

Hi Abhinav,
you have internal table (say it_employee) with fields name,age,senior_category.
now when you loop this internal table you will need workarea.
loop at it_employee into wa_employee.
 if wa_employee-age > 60.
 wa_employee-senior_category = 'YES'.
 else.
 wa_employee-senior_category = 'NO'.
 endif.
 modify it_employee from wa_employee.
 endloop.
now one use of Field-symbols is : when internal table is huge and when you loop with workarea and modify internal table each time, it takes time. So if we use Field-symbols performance would increase.
loop at it_employee assigning into <fs_employee>.
 if <fs_employee>-age > 60.
 <fs_employee>-senior_category = 'YES'.
 else.
 <fs_employee>-senior_category = 'NO'.
 endif.
 endloop.
Now you see in the above code, i have not used modify statement because when i loop internal table, the field symbol points directly to the memory of internal table.
So during loop if i assign any value to the field symbol then it directly changes the internal table value, so there wont be any need to use modify statement.
Hope you are clear with this example....

HI. Problem in concatenating a field symbol

Hi,
I used the following code... for downloading the file in application server..
 OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
 ENCODING DEFAULT.
 IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
 LOOP AT <FS_ITAB> ASSIGNING <FS_TAB>.
 DO.
 To Assign the Field Symbol
 ASSIGN COMPONENT SY-INDEX OF STRUCTURE
 <FS_TAB> TO <FS_LINE> .
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
 To Type Cast the retrieved data.
 CONCATENATE L_R_FILE <FS_LINE>INTO L_R_FILE
 SEPARATED BY
 CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
 ENDDO.
 TRANSFER L_R_FILE TO P_FILE.
 CLEAR: L_R_FILE.
 ENDLOOP.
 CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 Unable to close the file in application server
 Message e057.
 ELSE.
 WRITE:/(30) V_FILE,
 (30) 'Generated successfully'(M02).
 ENDIF. "IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 ENDIF. "if not rb_pres is initial.
 ENDIF. " IF NOT RB_PRES IS INITIAL.
ENDIF. " if not <fs_tab> is initial.
It Gave a dump saying the conversion to standard type not possible. (like C,N,T..)..
So I changed the following part as
 L_V_FILE = <FS_LINE>.
 CONCATENATE L_R_FILE L_V_FILE INTO L_R_FILE
 SEPARATED BY
 CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
Now the Problem is when the File is downloaded.. there is an #(Space/Tab) in the first column..
Can Any one help me in soliving this issue..
Thanks In Advance..
Guhapriyan Subrahmanyam..

Hi,
Can you try the same with SPACE_STR instead of HORIZONTAL_TAB?
Also,
If only the tab(#) in the first column is the only problem..then, after the DO..ENDO... truncate the first # and then proceed further...

Problem after assigning field-symbol in read statement...

Hello Experts,
I want to use a universal field-symbol in reading my internal tables so
I can avoid declaring multiple work areas. Here is my code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_any> type any.
READ TABLE lt_orderadm_h INDEX 1 ASSIGNING <fs_any>.
Now when I try to insert this code:
IF NOT <fs_any>-object_id IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
It says that <fs_any> has no structure and therefore no component called object_id.
I think that I need to use assign component for this but I don't know the code.
Thank you guys and take care!

Hi
DATA : WA_ITORDERADM_H LIKE LINE OF IT_ORDERADM_H.
**Try to assign the work area rather type any**
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_any> type WA_ITORDERADM_H.
READ TABLE lt_orderadm_h INDEX 1 ASSIGNING <fs_any>.
Now when I try to insert this code:
IF NOT <fs_any>-object_id IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
Check this program
This works for me
Simple program.
TYPES: BEGIN OF NAME,
NEXTNAME(10),
FIRSTNAME(10),
LASTNAME(10),
END OF NAME.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <F> TYPE NAME.
DATA: LINE(30).
LINE = 'JOHN SMITH SHRI'.
ASSIGN LINE TO <F> CASTING.
WRITE: / 'Lastname:', <F>-LASTNAME,
'Firstname:', <F>-FIRSTNAME,
'Nextname :', <F>-NEXTNAME
Award points if helpful
Thanks

Problem in using Field Symbols in HIDE statement

Hi All,
I am working in an Upgrade project ( from 4.6B to ECC 5.0 ). In a program I found few warnings on HIDE statement because they have used Field Symbols in HIDE statement.
The warning is " HIDE on a field symbol is dangerous, but the formal parameter "" is not ".
and the piece of code is
SET EXTENDED CHECK OFF.
HIDE: flg_pick_up, <s1>, <s2>, <s3>, <s4>, <s5>, z_feld_ind.
CLEAR flg_pick_up.
SET EXTENDED CHECK ON.
all the field symbols are of type ANY. SO can any one help in removing those warnings.
Please reply me as soon as possible.
With Regards,
Amarnath Singanamala

Hi amarnath,
1. Why do u want to remove
the warning ?
2. This warning (and not an error)
is a GENUINE warning,
which the system wants the user to make aware of.
3. By doing some xyz,
even if u may be able to hide the warning,
the warning may be hidden (for display purpose only),
but,
the warning will still be there inside the system.
4. I think u should ignore the warning,
(if there are no other repurcussions).
regards,
amit m.
