Field Symbols - Casting Structures
This example demonstrates how field symbols are casted.
ABAP_SOURCE_CODE
ABAP_EXEC
ABAP_DESCRIPTION
The numerical sequence
"0123456789" is casted on the structures line1 and
line2 . Then the structure is accessed using the corresponding field
symbol, and the components are individually output. Note that the date
component contains an invalid date after the assignment, which is only
used here for demonstration purposes.
The structures are casted using the ASSIGN CASTING statement. The
obsolete STRUCTURE addition of the FIELD-SYMBOLS
statement, which is replaced by ASSIGN
CASTING , is shown here as an annotation.
