Hi All,

I am doing UCCHECK for the programs.

And facing an error and not able to solve.

I searched in SDN and also tried my own but no luck.

in one program they written statement as:

TRANSFER ST_XML(L_SIZE) TO FILENAME

the error is The structure "ST_XML(L_SIZE)" does not start with a character-type

the data declarations is as follows.

DATA: XML TYPE DCXMLLINES,
L_SIZE TYPE I.

DATA: BEGIN OF ST_XML,
D LIKE LINE OF XML,
END OF ST_XML.

How i need to correct the statement transfer

Regards

Raj

Use offset-length on field of structure instead of the structure itself.

Change statement to this:

TRANSFER ST_XML-D(L_SIZE) TO FILENAME.

Hi,

Please check the use of keyword LENGTH along with TRANSFER keyword. Something like this.

TRANSFER ST_XML(L_SIZE) TO FILENAME LENGTH len.

Should help

Cheers,
