    Hi,
    I had similar requirement wherein I was supposed to display different data using 2 different internal tables on a subscreen area.
    The screen consists of two parts: 1) selection-screen with few input fields and two buttons 2) Subscreen area where the report need to be displayed. This report is displayed based on the button that the user is selecting. For this I have done the following things:
    1. Capture the sy-ucomm when user is clicking on any of the two buttons in PAI. Then perform data fetch operation.
             MODULE USER_COMMAND_9003 INPUT.
                 CASE OK_CODE.
                     WHEN 'DETAIL'.
                       GV_RPT = OK_CODE.
                       PERFORM F_GET_DETAIL_DATA.
                     WHEN 'REPORT'.
                       GV_RPT = OK_CODE.
                       PERFORM F_GET_REPT_DATA.
                   ENDCASE.
             ENDMODULE.                 " USER_COMMAND_9003  INPUT
    2.  Declare two different ALV's with the fieldcat similar to 2 internal tables respectively. Use the above sy-ucomm PBO to call appropriate ALV.
             MODULE DISPLAY_ALV OUTPUT.
               IF GV_RPT EQ 'DETAIL'.
                 PERFORM F_FIELDCAT_DETAIL.
                 PERFORM F_LAYOUT_DETAIL.
                 PERFORM F_EXCLUDE_TOOLBAR_DETAIL.
                 PERFORM F_DISPLAY_ALV_DETAIL.

  • Problem With Insert statement using field symbols with unicode enabled

    I was writng a function module for dyanamic operations on the table. We are using the field symbols, function module is unicode enabled.
    Assign statements are working fine, with which we created work are <fs_wa_header> and internal table <fs_tb_item> dynamically based on the table name (IM_TB_HENAME) which we get as import parameter.
    we have query which is giving us dump.
    INSERT  (IM_TB_HENAME)  FROM <FS_WA_HEADER>.

    Hi
    INSERT (IM_TB_HENAME) FROM <FS_WA_HEADER> is good for inserting a line in the database, so IM_TB_HENAME has to have the name of dictionary table.
    U should write:
    INSERT  <FS_WA_HEADER> INTO (IM_TB_HENAME).
    But I believe you can't use the variable IM_TB_HENAME, you should use another field-symbols:
    ASSIGN (IM_TB_HNAME) TO <FS_TB_ITEM>.
    INSERT  <FS_WA_HEADER> INTO <FS_TB_ITEM>.

    Hi Abhii,
    Both are having the same number of fields.
    The only problem is with the data and time (in my scenario). Here, actual length of date is 8 and maximum length is 10. and for time the actual length is 6 and maximum length is 8.
    So, my work area it is taking only the actual length but not the maximum length because of this it is going to dump.
    Can i have any thing which also considers the maximum length of any field at a domain level so that by work area bytes should match according to the db table byte length.
    Thanks

  • ALV report using the field catalog

    which is the quickest way to generate an ALV report using the field catalog merge.  without needing to build the field catalog manually .
    is it easier to create a structure and passe it in the field catalog merge .  if yes can i have an example plzzzz

    hI
    Supports the creation of the field catalog for the ALV function modules
    based either on a structure or table defined in the ABAP Data
    Dictionary, or a program-internal table.
    The program-internal table must either be in a TOP Include or its
    Include must be specified explicitly in the interface.
    The variant based on a program-internal table should only be used for
    rapid prototyping since the following restrictions apply:
    o Performance is affected since the code of the table definition must
    always be read and interpreted at runtime.
    o Dictionary references are only considered if the keywords LIKE or
    INCLUDE STRUCTURE (not TYPE) are used.
    If the field catalog contains more than 90 fields, the first 90 fields
    are output in the list by default whereas the remaining fields are only
    available in the field selection.
    If the field catalog is passed with values, they are merged with the
    'automatically' found information.
    Below is an example ABAP program which will populate a simple internal table(it_ekpo) with data and
    display it using the basic ALV grid functionality(including column total). The example details the main
    sections of coding required to implement the ALV grid functionality:
                             Data declaration
                             Data retrieval
                             Build fieldcatalog

    *& Example of a simple ALV Grid Report                                 *

  • 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.

  • Problem using field symbols in Query...

    Hi,
    I am fetching the name of the table and field which I will be using in the query using field symbols. But it gives syntax error...
    select single OBJECTTABLE OBJECTFIELD into help_numtab from Zobjectname
    where OBJECTNAME  = P_OBJECT.
    field-symbols : <number> type any.
    field-symbols : <module> type any.
    ASSIGN help_numtab-OBjectfield to <number>.
    ASSIGN help_numtab-OBjecttable to <module>.
    /* Here <number> = MATNR and <module> = MARA.
    select <NUMBER> into table help_item
                     from <MODULE>
                          where ERNAM = SY-UNAME.
    This gives a syntax error which says <module> is not defined in ABAP DDIC.

    instead of field symbols, you ccan try this..
    select (help_numtab-OBjectfield) into table help_item
    from (help_numtab-OBjecttable)
    where ERNAM = SY-UNAME.

  • How to use field symbols

    can anyone tell me how to use field symbols. What effect it has on performance of a program?
    what r its avantages?
    iam working on a report where iam facing a lot of problems in performance issue. can anyone tell how field symbols are useful in this regard?
    thanx to all

    Check the below links
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3860358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
    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.

  • How to populate one internal table from another using field symbols

    Hi Gurus,
      I have a problem. I have to populate one internal table (sructure t_otput) from another internal table (sructure t_from) using field symbol.
    Structure for from table.
    types: begin of t_from,
             year(4) type c,
             ww(2) type c,
             site type marc-werks,
             demand type i,
           end of t_from.
    Structure for output table.
    types: begin of t_display,
             title(30),
             WW1(10),
             WW2(10),
             WW3(10),
           end of t_display.
    The from table looks like this:
    Year | WW | Site | Demand
    2005 | 1  | OR1  | 12.00
    2005 | 2  | OR1  | 13.00
    2005 | 3  | OR1  | 14.00
    The display table which has to be populated should look like this:
    Title  | WW1   | WW2   | WW3
    OR1    |       |       |
    Demand | 12.00 | 13.00 | 14.00
    How to populate display table using field symbol?
    Please give code snippets
    Thanks,
    Gopal

    Gopal,
    Here is the code, however I am not vary clear about the ORG1 and Demand display that you have shown in the display. I am sure with this code it should not be a big deal to tweak in whatever manner you want.
    TABLES : marc.
    TYPES: BEGIN OF type_display,
    title(30),
    ww1(10),
    ww2(10),
    ww3(10),
    END OF type_display.
    TYPES: BEGIN OF type_from,
    year(4) TYPE c,
    ww(2) TYPE c,
    site TYPE marc-werks,
    demand TYPE i,
    END OF type_from.
    data : t_from type table of type_from,
           t_display type table of type_display.
    field-symbols : <fs_from> type type_from,
                    <fs_display> type type_display.
    data : wa_from type type_From,
           wa_display type type_display.
    wa_from-year = '2005'.
    wa_from-ww   = '1'.
    wa_from-site = 'OR1'.
    wa_from-demand = '12.00'.
    insert wa_from  into table t_from.
    wa_from-year = '2005'.
    wa_from-ww   = '2'.
    wa_from-site = 'OR1'.
    wa_from-demand = '13.00'.
    insert wa_from  into table t_from.
    wa_from-year = '2005'.
    wa_from-ww   = '3'.
    wa_from-site = 'OR1'.
    wa_from-demand = '14.00'.
    insert wa_from  into table t_from.
    data : variable(3) type c.
    field-symbols : <fs_any> type any.
    break-point.
    Loop at t_from assigning <fs_from>.
    variable = 'WW'.
    wa_display-title = <fs_from>-site.
    concatenate variable <fs_from>-ww into variable.
    assign component variable of structure wa_display to <fs_any>.
    <fs_any> = <fs_from>-demand.
    endloop.
    append wa_display to t_display.
    clear wa_display.
    loop at t_display assigning <Fs_display>.
      write :/ <fs_display>.
    endloop.

  • Data Maintain in a table form another table....using field symbols.

    Hi,
    I am using dynamic table concepts.I am using field symbols.I need to maintain two tables of similar structure.
    when i append data it will enter into both tables.when i unassign first table and reassign it ,i am getting back that data again into first table ..how to slve this problem.i need to start first table as fresh table and second table contain copy of the first table.

    Hi,
    maybe you should clarify your problem a bit more by pasting some code and try to explain it a bit more in detail.

  • How to use field symbol in select

    Hi,
        CONCATENATE 'WTG0' LV_MON INTO LV_FNAME.
        ASSIGN (LV_FNAME) TO <FS>.
        SELECT SINGLE <FS>  FROM COSP INTO LV_SAPRST
             WHERE OBJNR = LV_OBJ AND GJAHR = LV_YEAR AND WRTTP = '4' AND KSTAR = GT_INOUT-SAKNR
       Error message :    Unknown column name "<FS>" . field list. . field list. field list. 
       actually ,  if i use  if command,  i can do,  but i want to use simple code by fieldsymbol.
       is it possible in select command?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Hope it will help you.

    Field Symbols
    Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
    Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
    Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
    All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
    You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
    Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
    If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
    You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
    Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
    You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
    The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
    While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
    For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

    Syntax Diagram
    FIELD-SYMBOLS
    Basic form
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.
    Extras:
    1. ... TYPE type
    2. ... TYPE REF TO cif
    3. ... TYPE REF TO DATA
    4. ... TYPE LINE OF type
    5. ... LIKE s
    6. ... LIKE LINE OF s
    7. ... TYPE tabkind
    8. ... STRUCTURE s DEFAULT wa
    The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
    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> TYPE ANY.
    DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
    ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
    WRITE <PT>.
    Addition 1
    ... TYPE type
    Addition 2
    ... TYPE REF TO cif
    Addition 3
    ... TYPE REF TO DATA
    Addition 4
    ... TYPE LINE OF type
    Addition 5
    ... LIKE s
    Addition 6
    ... LIKE LINE OF s
    Addition 7
    ... TYPE tabkind
    Effect
    You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
    This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
    In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
    Effect
    Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP 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.
