Documentation

Definition

This field addresses a component of a complex data type for a variable. The nestings of the structures are represented by a string of component names and a hyphen '-':

P-{TFeld[i]-feld}*

where P: name of the variable

TFeld[i]: component name of the table type in line i

feld: component name

{.}*: can appear more than once

Use this to address the component 'feld' in the table 'TFeld' of line 'i', of variable 'P'.

For example, 'PARAM-RETN-MESSAGE[4]-NUMBER' means that the component 'NUMBER' is a component of the table type 'MESSAGE' in line '4'. 'MESSAGE' is a component of the structure 'RETN' and 'RETN' is a component of the variable 'PARAM'. Where 'PARAM' references a structure with the component 'RETN'.
