Ext prog check errors

Former Member — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:43:29 GMT

in my program,

TRANSLATE p_letter TO UPPER CASE.

and I am getting Ext Prog Check errors:

Dangerous use of TRANSLATE in a multilingual system

(The message can be hidden with "#EC TRANSLANG or "#EC SYNTCHAR)

How can I avoid this error without adding #EC...

Hi,

If you wanna hide the error just put "#EC TRANSLANG last of statement:


TRANSLATE p_letter TO UPPER CASE.                        "#EC TRANSLANG

and to avoid this use GET LOCAL and SET LOCAL ie:


DATA: lang  TYPE tcp0c-langu,
      cntry TYPE tcp0c-country,
      mod   TYPE tcp0c-modifier.

GET LOCALE LANGUAGE lang COUNTRY cntry MODIFIER mod.
SET LOCALE LANGUAGE lang.

TRANSLATE p_letter TO UPPER CASE.

regards,
