unicode doesnt allow assignment of string to raw type as the data length for char type and X type differ in 6.0 version.

You can try using field-symbols for assignin string to raw as shown .....

field-symbols: <fs> type x.

assign str to <fs> casting.

raw = <fs>.

Hi Suman,

The RAW datatype cannot be converted to a string type,As RAW type consists of sequence of bytes, so only numerical values can be converted , but in case of char it is not like that.

For any other datatype , u could have easily used MOVE statement.

Hi suman ,

You need to follow the procedure given below

1) You need to load the class as mentioned below.

syntax : class CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES definition load.

2) Then call the method read_container_c

J_2IEXTRCT-EXTRCTDATA and I_RG23PART1-I_PART1_TYP are the 2 incompatable variables.

Syntax:

call method cl_abap_container_utilities=>read_container_c

exporting IM_CONTAINER = J_2IEXTRCT-EXTRCTDATA

importing EX_VALUE = I_RG23PART1-I_PART1_TYP

exceptions ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_TYPE = 1

others = 2.
