Hi josef,

1. SET CURSOR Field f.

(see f1 help on it)

from F1(help) for SET abap statement...

Variant 1

SET CURSOR FIELD f.

Extras:

1. ... OFFSET off

2. ... LINE line

Effect

Places the cursor dynamically at the start of the field g which is specified in the field f. You must specify the name of the field in uppercase letters.

Note

With step loops and in list processing, you also need the addition ... LINE line.

Addition 1

... OFFSET off

Effect

Offsets the cursor position by off columns from the start of the field g which is specified in the field f (1st column = 0).

Addition 2

... LINE line

Effect

Places the cursor whose value is specified in field f in the field g of the loop line line in a step loop. In list processing, the cursor is placed in the absolute list line line (SY-LILLI).

Notes

Specifying LINE line is possible only with step loops and in list processing. In these cases, it is necessary.

The name specified in the field f must be a global field. For field symbols and reference parameters, you must use the name of the global field which is assigned to the field symbol or parameter at the time of output (i.e. with "WRITE").
