Unicode conversion wrt v_new_line

Hi Guys/Dolls

I have a program that we are trying to convert to make it unicode compliant.

But I'm getting the following error:-

"v_NEW_LINE" must be a character- like data object (data type C, N. D, T, or String).

Basically its falling over at the following line of code:-

DATA: v_new_line(255) TYPE x.

DATA: v_eol(2) TYPE x VALUE '0D0A'.

DATA:v_ees(15),

v_ers(15).

DATA: BEGIN OF irec OCCURS 0,

pernr LIKE p0002-pernr, " Personnel Number (8)

nachn LIKE p0002-nachn(25), " Last Name (25)

vorna LIKE p0002-vorna(20)," First Name (20)

perid LIKE p0002-perid, " NI Number (20)

ees LIKE pc207-betrg, " Employee Cont (15)

ers LIKE pc207-betrg, " Employer Cont (15)

END OF irec.

CLEAR v_new_line.

CONCATENATE irec-pernr

irec-nachn

irec-vorna

irec-perid

v_ees

v_ers

INTO v_new_line SEPARATED BY ','.

CONCATENATE v_new_line v_eol INTO v_new_line.

I think the message is pretty self explanatory.

v_new_line (and v_eol) are defined as TYPE x and you can't use CONCATENATE with anything other than data type C, N. D, T, or String.

Actually on further examination there is the 'IN BYTE MODE' addition to CONCATENATE that allows type x. But then the other values (i.e. irec-nachn) would need to be type x. You can't mix type x and type c in a CONCATENATE.
