Advanced ABAP Field Symbols Usage

The document discusses advanced usage of ABAP field symbols including copying data between internal tables using field symbols, assigning data from one field symbol to another, and dynamically accessing structure components by name or component number using field symbols. It provides code examples for copying data between tables using two field symbols, assigning data from one table line to another using field symbols, and dynamically accessing a structure component by name or number assigned to a field symbol.

ABAP Field Symbols are very powerful.

Usage of Field-Symbols would provide performance gain,


but for that you must use it correctly otherwise you may run into issues.

In this second part of the FS usage code snippet, check out the advanced usage – Like Copy ITAB
to ITAB, Dynamic Component access. Check out ABAP Field Symbols usage for first part of this.
