Regarding problem with assigning field to Field symbols

Question

Hi All,
We are migrating(recreating) the program which was in 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
In 4.7 they are using the below code for assigning the field to fieldsymbol from work area as shown below.
ASSIGN wa_kostl_kstar-wkg001+offset TO <von>
wa_kostl_kstar is a work area and wkg001 is the fourth field and wkg011 is 13th field and it is taking this filed into field symbol <Von>.
In Ecc 6.0 th same code is not being accepted and throwing syntax error.
So they had changed the code in ECC 6.0 to
ASSIGN wa_kostl_kstar-wkg001+(offset) TO <von>
And there was no syntax error and while testing it goes to dump.
I had tested in 4.7 and its working fine taking the value of  13 th field to <von>,and like wise there are some other assign statements after,like this.
So any one please let me know what to do in this case.

Answer 1

Hi,
Hope below example can give you an idea on handling your case:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_sal_ord,
         vbeln TYPE vbeln_va,
         posnr TYPE posnr_va,
         auart TYPE auart,
         vkorg TYPE vkorg,
         matnr TYPE matnr,
       END OF t_sal_ord.
DATA: wa_mara TYPE mara.
DATA: wa_sal_ord TYPE t_sal_ord.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_matkl>,
               <fs_vkorg>.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'MATKL' OF STRUCTURE wa_mara TO <fs_matkl>.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
  EXIT.
ENDIF.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'VKORG' OF STRUCTURE wa_sal_ord TO <fs_vkorg>.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
  EXIT.
ENDIF.
