APPEND - result
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
... { ASSIGNING <fs> [CASTING]}
| { REFERENCE INTO dref }.
Effect
These additions can only be used when appending single rows. If the append was successful, the addition
ASSIGNING is used to assign the appended row to a field symbol <fs>;
the addition REFERENCE INTO is used to set a reference to the appended row in a reference variable.
The syntax and meaning are the same as when specifying the output behavior in the statement
READ TABLE and the same restrictions apply regarding the modification of key fields for
primary and
secondary table keys.
In particular, inline declarations using the declaration operators
DATA and FIELD-SYMBOL are possible.
Example
See the addition INITIAL LINE.
Example
After the DO loops, the data references in stab
point to the random numbers up to 50 and those in ltab point to the random numbers larger than 50 that were appended to itab.
DATA:
itab TYPE TABLE OF i WITH EMPTY KEY,
stab TYPE TABLE OF REF TO i WITH EMPTY KEY,
ltab TYPE TABLE OF REF TO i WITH EMPTY KEY.
DATA(rnd) = cl_abap_random_int=>create( seed = + sy-uzeit
min = 1
max = 100 ).
DO 100 TIMES.
APPEND rnd->get_next( ) TO itab REFERENCE INTO DATA(dref).
IF dref->* <= 50.
APPEND dref TO stab.
ELSE.
APPEND dref TO ltab.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
