Write positions

At a write position, the content of the operand is changed when the statement is executed. Only changeable data objects - that is, no literals, text symbols, constants, or non-changeable formal parameters - can be specified as follows at write positions:

• Specification of a data object visible at this point using a label dobj, a field symbol <fs>, or a dereferenced data reference dref->* (as of release 6.10 and if dref is typed). As in the case of read items, [] can be appended for internal tables, in order to address the table body.

• Specification of a subarea of a flat character-like or byte-like data object by specifying an offset/length. An offset or length specification is not possible for data objects of the deep data types string and xstring.
