Question

Sometimes ABAP drives me crazy with really simple tasks such as incrementing an integer within a loop…

Here’s my try:

METHOD test.

  DATA lv_id TYPE integer.

  lv_id = 1.

  LOOP AT x ASSIGNING <y>.
    lv_id = lv_id+1.
  ENDLOOP.

ENDMETHOD.

This results in the error message Field type “I” does not permit subfield access.

Answer 1

You mean like:

ADD 1 to lv_id.

By the way, when you loop over an internal table, SY-TABIX has the loop counter.
