Assigning Constant Value to a key field

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I am trying to assign some constant value to an (key field) infobject based on simple condition in the start routine.

here is sample code.

Loop at DATA_PACKAGE.

if DATA_PACKAGE-<ORDERNUM>= '01'.

move '2' to DATA_PACKAGE-</BIC/ZQUAN>.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

but after the condition it not replacing the constant value '2' in the quantity field.

as i want to place this value in all the records.

i hope i am asking simple question. but kindly help me.

Regards,

Ala.

You can do the same in the field level routine or in the start routine you can try with putting the value of the internal table in work area and modifying the table.

Before ENDIF.

use MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.

what is the mapping for field routine part??? are you assigning constant here or i think you may need to write code to populate into field.

try writing a field routine for this, this can help!

Loop at DATA_PACKAGE.

if DATA_PACKAGE-<ORDERNUM>= '01'.

DATA_PACKAGE-</BIC/ZQUAN> = 2.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

try this.

Loop at DATA_PACKAGE.

DATA_PACKAGE-</BIC/ZQUAN> = '2'.

Try using simple Formula at field level insted of field routine.

there is IF( <condition>, <result when true>, <result when false> ) option avaialble in formula
