modify the internal table data using field symbols

19300 Views

Hi,

I am working on field symbols in the abap program. I am trying to modify the records of the internal table. I am new to field pointers and going to through several threads, add the code in the program but not getting the desired results. I would appreciate your help in this regard.

Here is the code..

data: begin of dept_itab occurs 0,

deptid like p0001-kostl,

pstl2 like csks-pstl2,

end of dept_itab.

field-symbols: <fs_dept> like line of dept_itab.

  • the dept_itab table is populated then, few dept records have the record PSTL2 value to be updated. I am trying to do using field pointers.

loop at dept_itab assigning <fs_dept>.

select single * from csks where kostl = dept_itab-deptid.

<fs_dept>-deptid = dept_itab-deptid.

<fs_dept>-pstl2 = csks-pstl2.

append <fs_dept>. ??? how to append the record in the field symbol - Error here

endloop.

Then I need to store the updated records back to dept_itab.

Hence I added..

refresh dept_itab.

assing dept_itab to <fs-dept>

move <fs_dept> to dept_itab.

How to correct this? It has large number of records and to improve the perormance I am applying this technque.

Thanks in advance,

VG
