Getting Unicode Programs Error

Former Member — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:03:09 GMT

I have declared global field as in one program as %count-mapl , i m copying the program to other server.

It gives syntax error as "in unicode prgms character - cannot appear in names, as it does here in name %count-mapl"

What does this means?

Please help to solve this problem

Hi,

In all ABAP Reports, you have to make the program as Unicode Compliant. This you can achieve in attributes of the Report. So, you have to enable the same and you can activate it once and can check the error has gone or not.

Have a look at the following link

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

yes in unicode system you will not be able to use '%' as wat i think is that it is not allowed , so try using some other name for that.

thanks

The problem is not caused by the percentage (%) sign, but by the minus sign in between %count and mapl.

BTW: Do you get an error message, or 'just' a warning?

Hello,

Usage of sign in the variable should give a warning message and not an error message. You can activate it and it will work fine. But if still u are concerned about it, it will be better to change the variable name.

Hi,

In Unicode systems '-' is no longer supported for variable names. Also is the case with '%' . please try giving any other name to the variable.
