You can declare a constant of type unit as well

Data X type unit.

data x type meins.

u can either use the data element used in the field of the table or the table field ref for declaring ur data type/const.

constants: gc_meins type MEINS value '<>'.

constants: gc_meins type MSEG-MEINS value '<>'.

Hi,

Check what is the data type of the IDoc field to which you are moving the data to and declare it as the same.

If it is character, consider unpack statment before moving it.

Hi,

Use a variable of type 'MEINS'.
