need help in unicode .. translate struct to upper case

Former Member — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 07:47:57 GMT

I'm working in unicode Project. I'm facing a problem with Translate statement.

The statement like this :

Translate trec to uppercase.

BEGIN OF trec,

string(748),

carriage_return(1) TYPE x,

END OF trec.

The error is "TREC must be character data type object.

I tried to fix with byte mode edition but not worked

Please help me

In Unicode TRANSLATE can be only dealed with character set. Hence you should use.


Translate trec-string to uppercase.

Cheers,

Thomas.

TREC should be Char variable.

Hi sapien,

1. This is not a unicode problem.

2. The problem is in the syntax and its usage.

data : BEGIN OF trec,

string(748),

carriage_return(1) TYPE x,

END OF trec.

Translate <b>trec-string</b> to upper case.

4. Translate works on Character data type,

and not on structures directly.

We have to convert EACH FIELD of structure
