Assign type Conflict

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE  ,

                <l_field> TYPE ANY.

     READ TABLE gt_itab ASSIGNING <l_field>. "with table key pernr =  <l_table>-pernr.

LOOP at gt_itab.

check <l_field> is assigned.

ASSIGN <l_field> TO <l_table>. -------- I get runtime this line

ENDLOOP.

Note: My gt_itab (interna table) and <l_field> are loaded.

Hello,

Instead of FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE  ,

Make it FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_table> TYPE Any  .

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Burak,

It is very clear from the runtime error that there is type conflict.

Change the declaration of <l_table> as below.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE  ,

My code already like this.  What should be type of <l_table> ?

Hi, A type conflict would happen when structures of <l_field> and <l_itab> do not match in the run time.

For ASSIGN <l_field> TO <l_table> this statement to execute successfully, <l_field> must be of table type, however, it seems that it is of a structure type rather than a table type.

Kindly check and make changes accordingly.

I hope this will fix your issue.

Thanks

1. FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

2.                <l_field> TYPE ANY.

3. READ TABLE gt_itab ASSIGNING <l_field>. "with table key pernr =  <l_table>-pernr.

4. LOOP at gt_itab.

5.   check <l_field> is assigned.

6.   ASSIGN <l_field> TO <l_table>. -------- I get runtime this line

7. ENDLOOP.

Once step 3 is complete, <l_field> is either assigned or not assigned. It's status will not now change. The means the check at step 5 is unnecessarily within the loop. This would be better.

1. FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

2.                <l_field> TYPE ANY.

3. READ TABLE gt_itab ASSIGNING <l_field>. "with table key pernr =  <l_table>-pernr.

4. IF <l_field> IS ASSIGNED.

5.   LOOP at gt_itab.

6.     ASSIGN <l_field> TO <l_table>. -------- I get runtime this line

7.   ENDLOOP.

8. ENDIF.

Given the typing of <l_table> and <l_field>, line 6 makes zero sense. You can't assign a component of a line of table to a table field symbol. I think you don't understand ASSIGN.

Without knowing what you intend your program to do - and what you've supplied looks incomplete, I cannot help you further. I suggest that you read the abap help on ASSIGN, and look for examples of how to use it with internal tables.

Thats not the way to use the ASSIGN statement. I am not sure what do u exactly want to do here.

You cannot assign a structure field symbol to a table field symbol.

READ TABLE into reads one record so the loop is not used properly. If u want to read all the records from it_tab with the key pernr and insert it into <l_table> you could use :

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <l_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE  ,

                <l_field> TYPE ANY.

LOOP at gt_itab ASSIGNING  <l_field>. "with table key pernr =  <l_table>-pernr.

APPEND <l_field> TO <l_table>.

ENDLOOP.

it will load all the fields from gt_itab to <l_table> having the key u specified.
