Different datatypes to be compared

Former Member — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:24:58 GMT

Hi ppl,

I have a requirement wherein I need to get the name of the sales representative for the order.

I am fetching the sales representative from VAKPA-KUNDE.

Now I need to pass this value into PA0001-PERNR to get the name PA0001-ENAME.

But, the problem is that the lengths and datatypes of KUNDE and PERNR do not match. So, I am not able to fetch the name.

Please provide an alternate solution.

Thanks,

David.

Hi david,

Have an intermediate variable say v_pernr type pernr.

data v_pernr type PA0001-PERNR.

v_pernr = VAKPA-KUNDE.

Then use v_pernr to get the record from PA0001

Regards,

Ravi

Move KUNDE to a temporary variable. Declare this temporary variable type PERNR. Use this variable in the select query

Hi Ravi,

I have already tried this.

But, since PERNR is 8 characters only, the last 2 characters get truncated after the assignment statement.

Thanks,

David.

hi ,

You can use the move statement to move the values from one field to the other .As you might know that VAKPA-KUNDE is 10 char and PA0001-PERNR is 8 characters . so the maximum characters than can be given will be 8.

eg: move wrk_1 to wrk_2.

Hi,

If you are fetching to a internal table you can create a different structure and move the contents using MOVE statement.First create structure according to your requirement and declare a internal table, after fetching records to the internal table from VAKPA move that table contents to the table which have the similar structure except kunde field is typed pa0001-pernr.

Try this code ---

DATA : BEGIN OF fs_itab ,
         kunde TYPE vakpa-kunde,   " pa0001-pernr,
         parvw TYPE vakpa-parvw,
         vkorg TYPE vakpa-vkorg,
         trvog TYPE vakpa-trvog,
         audat TYPE vakpa-audat,
       END OF fs_itab.

   DATA : BEGIN OF fs_itab1 ,
         kunde TYPE pa0001-pernr,   " pa0001-pernr,
         parvw TYPE vakpa-parvw,
         vkorg TYPE vakpa-vkorg,
         trvog TYPE vakpa-trvog,
         audat TYPE vakpa-audat,
       END OF fs_itab1.

DATA : t_itab LIKE TABLE OF fs_itab,
       t_itab1 LIKE TABLE OF fs_itab1.

SELECT kunde
       parvw
       vkorg
       trvog
       audat FROM vakpa INTO
       CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE t_itab.

MOVE t_itab TO t_itab1.        " Move to the desire typed

Hi,

Check the code below. Hope it helps.


TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_vakpa,
             kunde TYPE vakpa-kunde,
             vbeln TYPE vakpa-vbeln,
             END OF ty_vakpa,

 TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_vakpa_tmp,
              kunde TYPE pa0001-pernr,
              vbeln TYPE vakpa-vbeln,
              END OF ty_vakpa_tmp.

DATA: lt_vakpa     TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_vakpa,
           lt_vakpa_tmp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_vakpa_tmp,
           ls_vakpa     TYPE ty_vakpa,
           ls_vakpa_tmp TYPE ty_vakpa_tmp.

<fetch the sales rep numbers (kunde) into lt_vakpa.>

      LOOP AT lt_vakpa INTO ls_vakpa.
        PERFORM make_same_types USING ls_vakpa-kunde
                           CHANGING ls_vakpa_tmp-kunde.
        APPEND ls_vakpa_tmp TO lt_vakpa_tmp.
        CLEAR: ls_vakpa,
               ls_vakpa_tmp.
      ENDLOOP.
* Fetch the name
      SELECT pernr
             ename
        FROM pa0001
        INTO TABLE gt_pa0001
         FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_vakpa_tmp
       WHERE pernr EQ lt_vakpa_tmp-kunde.
    ENDIF.
 

form MAKE_SAME_TYPES  USING p_kunde TYPE vakpa-kunde
                   changing p_pernr TYPE pa0001-pernr.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
  EXPORTING
    input         = p_kunde
  IMPORTING
    OUTPUT        = p_pernr.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
  EXPORTING
    input         = p_pernr
  IMPORTING
    OUTPUT        = p_pernr.

endform.                    " MAKE_SAME_TYPES

Thanks.
