Unicode Program : # is appearing for data types declared as char type

former_member190314 — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 07:16:03 GMT

Hi friends,

I have copied one program on unicode system to unicode system. As only char type data types are allowed, i converted structure EP to char type only. Now during execution it is giving dump because it is showing value as '#' for 2 fields whos original data type was P and currency. How shall i convert them? Any suggession will helpful.

Hi Sandeep,

This is my piece of code : Initially structure EP was used in read dataset which is of different datatypes. so i created similar structure ep_c with data type as char. As u suggested, i tried to declare field BETRG as type currency. Then also it gave dump. (Runtime errors: UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE). For 2 fields BETRG and POHRS which is of currency and dec type originally, i am getting values as '#' causing in dump. In non unicode program both fields have values as '0.00' If i put these values in debugging then after execution, program comes to selection screen! Kindly advise.

Data : komok(2) type c,

betrg(18) TYPE c,

betrg type betrg,

pohrs(10) type c.

open dataset seq-in for input in text mode encoding default ignoring conversion errors.

if sy-subrc = 0.

do.

read dataset seq-in into ep_c.

case sy-subrc.

when 0.

move :ep_c-id to ep-id,

ep_c-text to ep-text,

ep_c-abkrs to ep-abkrs,
