Retrieve value contained inside a workarea: its desc is in a text variable

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a scenario where in my work area description is stored inside a text variable, say,

v_text = 'wa_temp-age'. ( Actually wa_temp-age contains value 20)

The content of v_text is dynamic.

Now I want to populate that value in another variable.

i.e v_age = (value of content stored v_text).

Hi

You can do it by using field symbols. If you just copy a part of your code then it would be good to explain.

DATA:wa_text TYPE char20,
     v_text TYPE char20,
     v_age TYPE char20.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:<fs> TYPE ANY.

wa_text = '12345'.
v_text = 'WA_TEXT'.
ASSIGN (v_text) TO <fs>.
v_age = <fs>.
WRITE v_age.
