Field Symbols - Casting
This example demonstrates how casting with implicit and explicit type specification is carried out.

ABAP_DESCRIPTION
In the first part of the main method, an implicit casting is carried out. The field symbol
is completely typed with the local program type t_date . Using the CASTING addition
of the ASSIGN statement, the field sy-datum can be treated as a structure. Without the CASTING addition assigning would not be possible, because sy-datum is not compatible with the type of the field symbol.
In the second part of the main method, an implicit casting is carried out. The field symbol
is completely generic. Using the CASTING addition of the ASSIGN statement, a cast is carried out for the field
sy-datum of the local program type t_date . The field symbol
can now be treated like a structure but does not recognize components. For this reason, it must be assigned component by component to a further field symbol .
