Get value into char from field-symbol (of type Decimal)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I've a problem in my report. I want to retrieve value from field-symbol but I don't manage.

My field-symbol is of type Decimal ('P') and I must retrieve this value in field (char255).

      ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_fieldcat-field OF STRUCTURE <fs_line> TO <fs_field>.
      ls_tab-field = ls_fieldcat-field.
      MOVE <fs_field> TO ls_tab-value.
        
      APPEND ls_exit TO t_exit.

If anybody have an idea.

Thanks and regards.

field-symbols: <fs_field> type any.   "<-- Make this type ANY

ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_fieldcat-field OF STRUCTURE <fs_line> TO <fs_field>.
      ls_tab-field = ls_fieldcat-field.
      MOVE <fs_field> TO ls_tab-value.
        
      APPEND ls_exit TO t_exit.

or... using CASTING addition

field-symbols <fs_field> type char255.

ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_fieldcat-field OF STRUCTURE <fs_line> TO <fs_field> CASTING. "casting during assignment
ls_tab-field = ls_fieldcat-field.
MOVE <fs_field> TO ls_tab-value.
        
APPEND ls_exit TO t_exit.

This however might result in runtime error if types are incompatible. You have to try this out. The best would be using generic field symbols as suggested by Rich.

Thanks for your answers,

I have declared <fs_field> of type ANY.

and ls_tab of type char 255. For NUMC, INT, CHAR it's work but not for DECIMAL.

ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_fieldcat-field OF STRUCTURE <fs_line> TO <fs_field>.
      ls_tab-field = ls_fieldcat-field. 
      MOVE <fs_field> TO ls_tab-value.     "<fs_field> =1 
      APPEND ls_tab TO t_exit.

In debug mode, I see that <fs_field> = 1.

The problem it's just when I do the move instruction. "ls_tab-value" don't change and keep 0.

If you have another idea..

Best Regards

Use write instead move

write <fs_field> TO ls_tab-value.

Try using this instead of MOVE

ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_fieldcat-field OF STRUCTURE <fs_line> TO <fs_field>.
      ls_tab-field = ls_fieldcat-field. 
      ls_tab-value = <fs_field>.
*      MOVE <fs_field> TO ls_tab-value.     "<fs_field> =1 
      APPEND ls_tab TO t_exit.
