My scenario is that I am getting an IDOC segment's data into a field symbol and change some fields based on some validations.
My code:
READ TABLE idoc_data ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<idocdata>) with key = 'E1EDK01'
IF sy-subrc = 0.
lcl_struc ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( 'E1EDK01' ).
CREATE DATA dref TYPE HANDLE lcl_struc.
ASSIGN dref->* TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<sdata>).
IF <sdata> IS ASSIGNED.
<sdata> = <idocdata>-sdata.
....
<idocdata>-sdata = <sdata>.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Though the above snippet works fine, the continuity of field symbols is broken and now I have to pass back the changed data. How do I use ASSIGN
and let the field symbols take care of the changes rather than an explicit statement?
Something similar to below snippet though this won't work since <IDOC_DATA>-SDATA
and <SDATA>
aren't compatible.
READ TABLE idoc_data ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<idocdata>) with key = 'E1EDK01'
IF sy-subrc = 0.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sdata> TYPE E1EDK01.
ASSIGN <idocdata>-sdata TO <sdata>.
....
ENDIF.
My expectation is that when I change the data in <SDATA>-FIELD1
, I want the changes to flow into <IDOCDATA>-SDATA
without using <idocdata>-sdata = <sdata>
.
As @Sandra mentioned above, the incompatibility of field-symbols can be resolved by using CASTING
while assigning them. This would make the second snippet work.
...
IF sy-subrc = 0.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sdata> TYPE E1EDK01.
ASSIGN <idocdata>-sdata TO <sdata> CASTING.
...
ENDIF.
