Hi Prem,

You CANNOT use it like this.

Use SE11 and check TABIX. It is a structure and you are trying to assign a value to a structure, which is not possible in UNICODE environment.

Instead you can use SY-TABIX as avinash has suggested.

Best Regards,

Ram.

Hi,

Instead of TABIX use SY-TABIX.

Hi Prem,

As i understand, in Upgrade process, we have an option to modify such errors in programs right

I would suggest you to go a head and modify TABIX to SY-TABIX, to avoid confusion at later point of project. I dont think there is any work around.

Best Regards,

Ram.
