注意：ASSIGN TABLE FIELD (f) TO <fs>. 只能用TABLES定义的变量
An important, but frequently misunderstood aspect of ABAP, is the "Field Symbol". But you'll find they aren't mysterious. In fact, they may remind you of some features in popular general-purpose programming languages.
Field symbols allow you to:
** Assign an alias to a data object(for example, a shortened name for data objects structured through several hierarchies
For Example: <fs>-f instead of rec1-rec2-rec3-f)
** Set the offset and length for a string variably at runtime
** Set a pointer to a data object that you determine at runtime (dynamic ASSIGN)
** Adopt or change the type of a field dynamically at runtime
** Access components of a structure (from Release 4.5A) Point to lines of an internal table (process internal tables without a separate work area)
Field symbols in ABAP are similar to pointers in other programming languages. However, pointers (as used in PASCAL or C) differ from ABAP field symbols in their reference syntax.
The statement ASSIGN f to <fs> assigns the field f to field symbol <fs>. The field symbol <fs> then "points" to the contents of field f at runtime. This means that all changes to the
contents of f are visible in <fs> and vice versa. You declare the field symbol <fs> using the statement FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs>.
Reference syntax
Programming languages such as PASCAL and C use a dereferencing symbol to indicate the difference between a reference and the object to which it refers; so PASCAL would use p^ for a pointer instead of p, C would use *p instead of p. ABAP does not have any such dereferencing symbol.
** In PASCAL or C, if you assign a pointer p1 to a pointer p2, you force p1 to point to the object to which p2 refers (reference semantics).
** In ABAP, if you assign a field symbol <fs1> to a field symbol <fs2>, <fs1> takes the value of the data object to which <fs2> refers (value semantics).
** Field symbols in ABAP are always dereferenced, that is, they always access the referenced data object. If you want to change the reference yourself in ABAP, you can use the ASSIGN statement
to assign field symbol <fs1> to field symbol <fs2>.
