Syntax error..Not mutually convertible in a Unicode program.

Hello Experts,

I am getting below syntax error in my custom Z report,

Program ZUMSATZ_JE_KOSTENART

"GW_BKPF_PBS" and "ARC_BUFFER-SEGMENT" are not mutually convertible in a Unicode program. .

Code snippets are below,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CASE arc_buffer-rname.

WHEN 'BKPF'.
gw_bkpf_pbs = arc_buffer-segment.<------ Here is the error line

   MOVE arc_buffer-segment TO gw_bkpf_pbs.
    IF gw_bkpf_pbs-bukrs = p_bukrs AND
      gw_bkpf_pbs-gjahr = p_gjahr AND
      gw_bkpf_pbs-blart = r_blart AND
      gw_bkpf_pbs-budat IN s_budat AND
      gw_bkpf_pbs-belnr IN s_belnr.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Help will be rewarded by points, Thanks!

Regards,

Arpit

Hi Arpit,

What are the data types used to define your variables, gw_bkpf_pbs and arc_buffer-segment? The runtime isn't able to cast on-the-fly the values or structure in arc_buffer-segment to the data type used by gw_bkpf_pbs.

Cheers,

Amy

Hey Amy,

Please find below the same, (This code snippet is from ECC 4.6)

gw_bkpf_pbs = arc_buffer-segment

-----------------------------------------------------

DATA: BEGIN OF gt_bkpf_pbs OCCURS 10.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE bkpf.
DATA: END OF gt_bkpf_pbs.

DATA: gw_bkpf_pbs LIKE LINE OF gt_bkpf_pbs.

-----------------------------------------------------

arc_buffer-segment---à Data type MAX_SEGM

ARC_BUFFER is a structure.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you required anything else please let me know.

Regards,

Arpit

You cannot pass the segment values directly to a structure.

Use this to copy value from the segment to structure.

   CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>read_container_c
EXPORTING
    im_container           = arc_buffer-segment
IMPORTING
    ex_value               = gw_bkpf_pbs
EXCEPTIONS
    illegal_parameter_type = 1
    OTHERS                 = 2.

Thanks,
