String conversion

Former Member — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 08:10:02 GMT

Hi All,

I have maintained one Z-table for storing the cooments provided by the user in the workflow.

I am storing the comments in the field COMMENTS of the Z-table which is of Char type.

In BOR( ZFIPP2 ), under Zmethod:

DATA: IM_TITLE TYPE SYST-TITLE,

CH_TEXT TYPE T8J_MODIF-CODE OCCURS 0,

CH_TEXT1 TYPE CATSXT_LONGTEXT_ITAB.

IM_TITLE = 'Please Enter the Comments'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CATSXT_SIMPLE_TEXT_EDITOR'

EXPORTING

im_title = IM_TITLE

IM_DISPLAY_MODE = ' '

IM_START_COLUMN = 10

IM_START_ROW = 10

changing

ch_text = CH_TEXT1.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

else.

SWC_SET_TABLE CONTAINER 'CH_TEXT' CH_TEXT1.

endif.

CALL FUNCTION 'ZFIPP_COMMENTSRRC'

CHANGING

comments = CH_TEXT1

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

CH_TEXT1 is of type CATSXT_LONGTEXT_ITAB and commments is of type char, so there is the type mismatch.

Is there any string conversion rule?

Kindly suggest.

Regards,

Sangeeta

Hi,

Do this as a try, but I'm not sure.

Declare another variable like

CH_TEXT2 TYPE CATSXT_LONGTEXT_ITAB.

then

before 'SWC_SET_TABLE CONTAINER 'CH_TEXT' CH_TEXT1'

assign

CH_TEXT2 = CH_TEXT.

In FM declare the Comments as "TXLINE".

And inside the FM before storing the Comments data into ur Ztable.

data: char2(72).

move Comments to char2.

then update ur custom table with "Char2 ".
