Inserting records and sorting a field-symbol table...

[aris_hidalgo]

Hello experts,

1. I am currently using a field-symbol as my internal table and I want to insert records

to particular fields. How do I do that?

2. How do I sort a field-symbol by certain fields?

3. Can I create a 'normal' internal table based on a field-symbol that is declared also as an internal table?

P.S. Can we do this in ALV?

1. you can operate on a field-symbol table in the normal way, eg, append, insert, delete, read etc.

2. for tables which have header lines you can sort a table by component field symbols.

eg, sort <dyntab> by <component1>.

3. what do you mean by

<i>Can I create a 'normal' internal table based on a field-symbol that is declared also as an internal table?

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the reply. For example, I have a field-symbol that has 10 components, can I declare another internal table(not FS) based from the field-symbol?

Also, I just checked my program now and I found out that my field-symbol table does not have a header line. So how do I sort that?

Thanks again!

Hi Viraylab,

1. no you can't create a non-field symbol table 'on the fly'.

2. you can sort a field symbol table by it's components if you know the names:

data l_name(30) value 'MATNR'.

sort <tab> by (l_NAME).
