ABAP 'WITH' Clause

Posted on Jan 10, 2007 at 08:34 PM 21 Views

Does ABAP have something like a WITH clause?

Other languages allow me to something like ...

WITH myrec DO

{do some processing}

ENDWITH

I find that I am ...

wa-field1 = 'newdata1'.

wa-field1 = 'newdata2'.

...

wa-field99 = 'newdata99'.

... seems very labourious

    HI,

    Welcome to SDN...

    I dont believe that ABAP has <b>WITH</b> Clause...

    ABAP Have some of below clauses...

    <b>SELECT

    ENDSELECT

    INTO

    WHERE

    HAVING

    ORDER-BY

    GROUP-BY

    FROM</b>

    u can also use loops like...

    <b>DO...ENDDO.

    WHILE....ENDWHILE.

    LOOP....ENDLOOP.</b>

    Regards

    Nothing like that, but of cousre your requirement can be done in ABAP other ways. For example, If you want to dynamically fill a field, you can use the ASSIGN COMPONENT statement. I would really have to understand your required in order to point you in the right direction. Can you explain a bit more?

      For example.........

      
report zrich_0001.

data: begin of xstruc,
      fld1(10) type c,
      fld2(10) type c,
      fld3(10) type c,
      fld4(10) type c,
      fld5(10) type c,
      end of xstruc.

data: istr type table of string with header line.
field-symbols: <fs> .

istr = 'Value A'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value B'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value C'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value D'.  append istr.
istr = 'Value E'.  append istr.


loop at istr.

  assign component sy-tabix of structure xstruc to <fs>.
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
    exit.
  endif.

  <fs> = istr.


endloop.


write:/ xstruc-fld1,
        xstruc-fld2,
        xstruc-fld3,
        xstruc-fld4,
        xstruc-fld5.

    Hi Ian,

    Perhaps you can build an macro.

    Syntax:

    DEFINE macro.

    ... &1 ... &9 ...

    END-OF-DEFINITION.

    Ferry Lianto

    So far things look like this

    data: itab type table of t_itab,

    w_itab type t_itab.

    w_itab-tabname = 'Tablename'.

    w_itab-position = 'Pos'.

    ...

    append w_itab to itab.

    whereas it might read ...

    with w_itab do

    tabname = 'Tablename'.

    position = 'Pos'.

    endwith
