Moving Values to fields of different data types- Conversion

Question

I'm having trouble figuring out how to move a value from a field of a <b>char type</b> to a field of <b>structure RSDSSELOPT</b> type in a different itab.
I'll show you what I have so far.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITABAPI OCCURS 0,
      SEARCHFLD LIKE ZDOLTARC03-SEARCHFLD,
      VALUE LIKE ZDOLTARC03-VALUE,
      END OF ITABAPI.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB_GO occurs 0,
         FIELDNAME LIKE RSDSTABS-PRIM_FNAME,
         SELOPT_T TYPE RSDS_SELOPT_T,
      END OF ITAB_GO.
  LOOP AT ITABAPI.
     MOVE: ITABAPI-SEARCHFLD TO ITAB_GO-FIELDNAME,
           <b>ITABAPI-VALUE TO ITAB_GO-SELOPT_T.</b>
     APPEND ITAB_GO.
  ENDLOOP.
As an alternative I tried feeding the value into ITAB_GO-selopt_t-low, but breaking down the structure that far may be beyond the capabilities of the processor.
If anyone knows a way to feed a char value into the structure field please help.

Hi Natasha,
my advice is: don't try to do it in just step. Instead,
DATA: LT_RANGE TYPE TABLE OF RSDSSELOPT WITH HEADER LINE.
LOOP AT ITABAPI.
   MOVE: ITABAPI-SEARCHFLD TO ITAB_GO-FIELDNAME.
   CLEAR: LT_RANGE.
   REFRESH: LT_RANGE.
   LT_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
   LT_RANGE-OPTION = 'EQ'.
   LT_RANGE-LOW = ITABAPI-VALUE.
   APPEND LT_RANGE.
   ITAB_GO-SELOPT_T[] = LT_RANGE[].  
   APPEND ITAB_GO.
ENDLOOP.
Pls let us know if it helped. BR,
