Character variable not getting populated

soumya_jose3 — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 05:47:07 GMT

Hi,

I am facing a strange situation in the below piece of code.

CLEAR:g_ltx, g_letter_dated, g_s_data-letter_dated.

SELECT SINGLE ltx FROM t247 INTO g_ltx

WHERE spras = 'EN' AND

mnr = g_month.

CONCATENATE g_date g_ltx g_year INTO g_letter_dated

SEPARATED BY space.

g_s_data-letter_dated = g_letter_dated.

Both g_s_data-letter_dated and g_letter_dated are charcater of 255 length.

The value '01 September 2009' of g_letter_dated is not getting assigned to g_s_data-letter_dated.

Can anybody tell me the reason and how to rectify it.

Thanks & Regards,

Soumya.

Hi,

Did you try with MOVE statement?


MOVE g_letter_dated to g_s_data-letter_dated.

Also g_s_data-letter_data is a field of a internal table. You amy have to use MODIFY or APPEND statement to make it reflect in the internal table.

Can we get the definitions of the variables like g_date, g_year etc also?

I defined the variable g_date as a two character variable and g_year as year and it worked fine for me.

Hi Vikrant,

I tried MOVE statement also. That is also not working.

g_s_data is a work area.

Inorder to modify the internal table from the work area, the field g_s_data-letter_dated needs to be populated.

Thanks & Regards,

Soumya.

My code is as below.

parameter: p_month LIKE t247-mnr.

DATA: g_ltx like t247-ltx,

g_letter_dated(255),

g_s_data-letter_dated(255),

g_date(2) value '01',

g_year(4) value '2009'.

CLEAR:g_ltx, g_letter_dated, g_s_data-letter_dated.

SELECT SINGLE ltx FROM t247 INTO g_ltx

WHERE spras = 'EN' AND

mnr = p_month.

CONCATENATE g_date g_ltx g_year INTO g_letter_dated

SEPARATED BY space.

g_s_data-letter_dated = g_letter_dated.

write:/ g_s_data-letter_dated.

My code is like this::

START-OF-SELECTION.

Populate pnpwerks based on MOLGA specified

PERFORM populate_pnpwerks.

g_mail = s_mail-low.

*Letter generated date.

g_year = sy-datum+0(4).

g_month = sy-datum+4(2).

g_date = sy-datum+6(2).

CLEAR:g_ltx, g_letter_dated, g_s_data-letter_dated.

SELECT SINGLE ltx FROM t247 INTO g_ltx

WHERE spras = 'EN' AND

mnr = g_month.

CONCATENATE g_date g_ltx g_year INTO g_letter_dated

SEPARATED BY space.

g_s_data-letter_dated = g_letter_dated.

GET pernr.

g_year, g_month and g_date are declared in a top include globally as:

DATA: g_year(4) TYPE c,

g_month(2) TYPE c,

g_date(2) TYPE c,

g_ltx TYPE t247-ltx,

g_letter_dated(255) TYPE c.

Hi Soumya,

Set a break point at the statement g_s_data-letter_dated = g_letter_dated, check in debugging mode and check if the values are populating at that instant. May be you are clearing the work area at a latter part

Hi Vikrant,

I tried it in debugging mode and found that g_s_data-letter_dated is not populating,

The strange part is that if I put another statement like 'g_s_data-letter_dated = sy-datum.'

after the ' g_s_data-letter_dated = g_letter_dated.' , g_s_data-letter_dated is populated .

CONCATENATE g_date g_ltx g_year INTO g_letter_dated

SEPARATED BY space.

g_s_data-letter_dated = g_letter_dated. ---> Populated with 01 September 2009

g_s_data-letter_dated = sy-datum. ---> then Populated with sy-datum

Thanks & Regards,

Soumya.

Here you have stated that g_s_data-letter_dated = g_letter_dated is populated with 01 September 2009. Which means g_s_data-letter_dated holds the value.

Correct me if am wrong.

Hi,

i'm getting the value of g_s_data-letter_dated in the code as put by you.

By the way, how is the g_s_data-letter_dated defined in your code ?
