This question is answered

Hi experts,
I don't know if some of you already faced the issue that I am .
I am developping a code in a transformation start routine, and I am getting the follwing error:

The weird part, i don't have any field named Data.I am using an And statement in my code as following:

When I disable this piece of code, i get no syntax errors anymore.

Can someone tell me what's wrong and how to bypass the issue?
Thanks.

Hi Amine,
Maybe you can write the where condition in an if statement such as:
Loop at source_package into wa_source_package.
if wa_source_package-gl_account = wa_tablesource-gl_account and ....
...
endif.

Hi Amine,
I am not sure but it may be due to gl_account and profit_ctr.

Please try as wa_source_package-gl_account instead of gl_account and same
for pprofit_ctr.
I hope it helps

Hello Amine,
do you have a DATA field "wa_tablesource" defined with field gl_account
defined?
Perhaps, you can send the startroutine code. I think a correct data declaration is
missed.
Second:
use
LOOP AT source_package ASSIGNING <source_fields>
...
ENDLOOP
when working with 7.x startroutines. Performes better and is declared by default.
Kind regards,
Hendrik

Thanks HendriK for your input.

Actually i am testing a new requirment and i didn't
finish the whole logic yet. You suggest me to use a
field symbol. But how can I manage the other
conditions to be sure that the loop is going to treat

conditions to be sure that the loop is going to treat
the right data?
Gl Account and Profit Center in my range.
Thanks.

Well, it depends on your input and how you

get your data. ;-)
Is GL_ACCOUNT and PROFIT_CTR within
your source_package or can you read them
from another source ( function, method,
variable... )?
If you need to read them from your
source_package, then you should consider
using another algorithm.
For example by using AT
gl_account...ENDAT.
Kind regards,
Hendrik

abaping. you're comparing what with what in your where statement. Reflect on
that.

Hi Amine,
Can you please share what is the type of your structure R_ZPCFROM and what
values are in .
Is it a range.?

Hi Satish,
Here my decelaration part, in fact it's a range:

DATA : r_zfuncfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit/bic/zfuncfrom,
r_zpcfrom TYPE RANGE OF /bic/pzsplit/bic/zpcfrom,
r_zfuncfrom_line LIKE LINE OF r_zfuncfrom,

Hi again,

Yasemin was right, thanks a lot

The follwoing logic worked fine, but i am afraid about performance, what do you
think?
LOOP AT source_package INTO wa_source_package.
IF wa_source_package-gl_account = wa_tablesource-/bic/zsplit
AND wa_source_package-profit_ctr IN r_zpcfrom.
*Treatments
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Anyway to enhance it?

Thanks.
