Dump in using PACK statement...

Former Member — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 11:50:39 GMT

H iAll,

I'm getting dump as shown below in using Pack statement ....it is much appreciated if someone can help...

my code is something like

Code

v_dxvbak-vkorg = '0A10'.

SELECT SINGLE vbund

INTO v_pcoes_vbund

FROM kna1

WHERE kunnr = '00000313' .

PACK v_dxvbak-vkorg TO v_pcoes_vkorg.

DUMP

Category ABAP Programming Error

Runtime Errors CONVT_NO_NUMBER

Except. CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER

ABAP Program Y_TEST

Application Component Not Assigned

Date and Time 08/07/2013 11:43:11

Short text

Unable to interpret "0A10" as a number.

What happened?

Error in the ABAP Application Program

The current ABAP program "Y_TEST" had to be terminated because it has

come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

What can you do?

Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.

To process the problem further, contact you SAP system

administrator.

Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look

at and manage termination messages, and you can also

keep them for a long time.

Thanks in Advance,

Prem

Hi Prem Kumar,

PACK statement can only be used for numbers. The dump says it cannot interpret 'A' as a number. If you had tried Packing 0010 or so, it would not have dumped. Hope this helps!

You can also do an F1 on the PACK statement and understand its functionality better

Dear Prem,

Pack is an obselete statement.Instead,Try to use MOVE and SHIFT statements as shown below.

REPORT zyyytest.
DATA lvkorg TYPE vkorg.
DATA lvkorg1 TYPE string.
lvkorg = '0A10'.

SELECT SINGLE vbund INTO lvkorg1 FROM kna1 WHERE kunnr = '0000011628' .

*PACK lvkorg TO lvkorg1.
MOVE lvkorg TO lvkorg1.
SHIFT lvkorg1 LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.

IF sy-subrc = 0 .

ENDIF.

Thanks

You can handle the particular exception in order to avoid dump.

TRY.

PACK v_dxvbak-vkorg TO v_pcoes_vkorg.

CATCH cx_sy_conversion_no_number.

"do something on exception

ENDTRY.

Yes i know pack is obsolete... but it was old logic.....

I tried Move with destination as packed type even that went to dump...your logic with char/string worked..
