OFFSET LENGTH ERROR

Former Member — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:41:58 GMT

I need to clear this particular structure SPELL with offset 403.

In SAP version 4.6 the syntax is as follows

CLEAR SPELL+403. "nur SPELL-DIGnn

But in ECC we get the following error

The offset declaration "403" exceeds the length of the character-type

start (=18) of the structure. This is not allowed in Unicode programs.

if i am trying with the syntax

CLEAR SPELL+0(403).

then too i am getting the same error.

Please guide me.

Your help will be much appreciated.

SPELL is a structure.. you have to identify which field it is & then clear that field .. for ex:

clear SPELL-DIG01.

Hi,

The right coding would be like

Clear: spell-dig01(1).

This is the 403rd character in that structure.
