hello Rajiv ,

if you idea about about the C Programming ..then it's simple ..

you can understand Reffrence (Data Reffrence) as pointer .

and assigning is like value at (*) operator in C .

Thanks and Regards ..

Assigning :

-

---

try ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE <fs_recordt> (this need not be a field symbol can be a work area/ internal table) TO <fs_field>.

if u want to assign field symbol on field by field basis use this statement inside do endo.

else use loop at internal_table assigning <FS>. u dont hav 2 unassign the field symbol, the loop statement internally takes care of dat.

refernce :

-

Refernce is used refer the variables for inport and export parameters.
