Initializing Internal Table

[Former Member]

I've been using an internal table as follows,

DATA: BEGIN OF grid OCCURS 0,

D1 VALUE '_', " the value stored is an underscore

D2 VALUE '_',

END OF grid.

In the program, the values of D1 and D2 will change. Depending on some condition, I want to reset the values of D1 and D2 to initial values (i.e. Underscore). CLEAR statement initializes the values to ' ' (space). Kindly guide me with the same.

Hi,

the problem will not get solved using Clear or REFRESH statement as both will set the values to blank.

In ur case u hv to manually set the values as '_'.

e.g.

loop at grid.

grid-D1 = '_'.

grid-D2 = '_'.

Modify grid index sy-tabix.

endloop.

hi,

data: wa_grid like line of it_grid.

wa_grid-d1 = '_'.
wa_grid-d2 = '_'.

instead of using clear statement.. clear it_grid.

  move wa_grid to it_grid.

you can use this to get the default value as _

CLEAR grid-D1  WItH '_'.

Hi ,

You can use the modify command with the addition TRANSPORTING to acheive this,

Try

  LOOP AT grid.
    CLEAR grid-d1  WITH '_'.
    CLEAR grid-d2  WITH '_'.
    MODIFY grid TRANSPORTING d1 d2.
  ENDLOOP.
