SET/GET PARAMETERS - Unicode conversion- ECC 6.0

former_member671224 — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 16:33:34 GMT

Hi,

In ECC 6.0, how to make unicode compliant for SET/GET PARAMETER for character type field?

I tried by passing the character type field; it working for SET PARAMETER but when I tried for GET PARAMETER, it is not working. giving abap dump; in debug mode it is as "#" (hash symbol).

INote: n old version, the field used was like SY_SUBRC.

Kindly suggest the solution.

Thanks,

Amal

Hi Amal,

SET/GET both work with character type of data as well. Here is the example whic works in ECC 6.0:-

******************

REPORT ytest.

DATA lv_name(10) TYPE c VALUE 'Rudresh'.

SET PARAMETER ID 'NAME' FIELD lv_name.

***********************

REPORT ytest1.

DATA lv_get_name(10) TYPE c.

GET PARAMETER ID 'NAME' FIELD lv_get_name.

WRITE lv_get_name.

Output: Rudresh (First execute program 'ytest' to SET the parameter ID and then execute 'ytest1')

in test program it is working. but in actual pgm it is not working.

The code is;

Data: var1 like sy-subrc value 0.
GET PARAMETER 'PAR1' FIELD var1.

In debug mode the value in var1 is some numberic value.

This was actual code; to make it unicode compatibility, i coded as below;

Data: cha1 type char10.
GET PARAMETER 'PAR1' FIELD cha1.

In debug mode the value in cha1 is as # (hash).

Kindly advice how to handle this.

Thanks,

Amal

Hi,

Check the size of the SET PARAMETER field and the size of the GET PARAMETER field must be same and the types are compatible.

Hi Amal,

This is because of the type conflict. Declare Cha1 also with the same type as var1. Otherwise use a intermediate character field to get value from Sy-Subrc and pass it to Var1. This will solve your problem.

I cant declare cha1 same as var1 since as per unicode compatibility, GET PARAMETER will accept only of variable type C, N, D or T). so I cant use like SY-SUBRC same as var1.

But still you can declare var1 as char too. Or use a intermediate variable which is of type cha1 with the SET Parameter.

To make it clear,

The var1 variable is used in 4.6 C. now our system got upgraded to ECC 6.0. So to make unicode compatibility, instead of using var1 then variable which has been declared as type int4 (like sy-subrc), I declared new variable cha1 as type c and using that variable (cha1) in GET PARAMETER statement.

So as per previous version, when i checked the value of varaible var1 it is 44. but when I used character type variable in GET PARAMETER, cha1, the vaule is ###, .

In ECC 6.0, unicode , we can use only types C,N,D or T with GET/SET PARAMETER.

Not sure whether we have to do some conversion from hexa to char/integer.

Hope I made it clear.

Thanks,

Amal
