field is entirely or partly protected against changes

[Former Member]

I try to change a field of a hash table ( XTH_DATA as souce code below ), which is used in BI/BPS exit. It works well in changing a key figure ( which's in <kf_struct> as souce code below), but failed in changing a character ( which's in <ch_struct> as source code below).

The run error is:

===========

A new value is to be assigned to the field "<CL_YN>", although this field is

entirely or partly protected against changes.

The following are protected against changes:

- Character literals or numeric literals

- Constants (CONSTANTS)

- Parameters of the category IMPORTING REFERENCE for functions and

methods

- Untyped field symbols not yet assigned a field using ASSIGN

- TABLES parameters if the actual parameter is protected against changes

- USING reference parameters and CHANGING parameters for FORMs, if the

actual parameter is protected against changes and

- Accesses using field symbols if the field assigned using ASSIGN is

protected (or partially protected, e.g. key components of an internal

table with the type SORTED or HASHED TABLE) against changes

- Accesses using references, if the field bound to the reference is

protected (or partially protected) against changes

- External write accesses to READ-ONLY attributes,

- Content of a shared object area instance accessed using a shared lock

(ATTACH_FOR_READ).

try to set the checkbox "Pass value" of your parameter XTH_DATA

currently it is passed by reference and you loop at it with an assign statement

this is probably the reason of error

works like a charm after this change
