Field Symbols in Release 6.40

1 Reference to a type description object in ASSIGN

ABAP_MODIFICATION_1 Reference to a type description object in ASSIGN

The new addition HANDLE of the statement ASSIGN can be used to refer to the RTTS type description objects when casting field symbols.
From Release 6.40, the RTTS classes contain methods for creating type description objects independently of existing types (refer to Runtime Type Services for Release 6.40
). Together with the addition HANDLE , this makes it possible to cast to any existing or dynamically created types at program runtime.
