hi clemens,
thanks for the help.
my complete code:
data: begin of wa,
          col1 type i,
          col2  type ref to data,
        end of wa.
data itab like table of wa.
field-symbols <fs> type any.
create data wa-col2 type p decimals 2.
assign wa-col2->* to <fs>.
<fs> = '123.45'.
append wa to itab.
<fs> = '456.78'.
append wa to itab.
when i loop through itab the colum wa-col2 only contains 456.78 for both the records. the value 123.45 that i have passed for the first record is lost. how can get the values 123.45 for first record and 456.78 for the second record using this technique.
thanks
