table_exp - Writer Positions
Table expressions and their chainings can be specified as writable expressions in result positions. The result of a table expression in these positions is always a temporary field symbol.
- If a single table expression is specified, or a chaining whose last position is a table expression, the entire row that was found is modified in the writer position.
- If a chaining is specified whose last position is a structure component after a structure component selector, this component is modified in the writer position.
In the case of writes performed on the temporary field symbol, the same rules apply as to a field symbol
assigned a table row using READ TABLE ASSIGNING. More specifically, the read-only character of key fields must be respected.
Other versions:
7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Note
The constructor operators VALUE and REF used to control the
result of the table expression cannot be used in writer positions.
