Unicode compatibility ABAP Error

aalexis — Sun, 14 Jul 2019 17:43:32 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to read a ABAP CDS view and write it on to a ZTable due to some performance issues. (It is historical one time load data, I don't need this to go thru transformations every time when the reports are invoked). When I try to check the program I get an error at the INSERT statement complaining about my defined structure is not unicode compatible.

I have added my simple program with a screen shot can you tell me how to fix this error.

The important bit of information you've not given us is the definition of ZBSALESITEM_H

Oh... and for goodness sake, if you are using >7.4 ABAP, why on earth are you using obsolete statements like TABLES?

Matthew,

ZBSALESITM_H is created exactly as ABAP CDS view structure. The structure is long (143 columns) Will it help by providing the ZBSALEITEM_H? (I am asking because it is a big structure).

To me it sounds like the declaration and the usage is not compatible with ABAP by new standards. It is on a S/4 1809 system. (I am not an ABAP programmer, but on analytics side trying to read a CDS view and store it in a table, is what I am trying to do)...

if you need the structure I can provide...

Thanks,

Arthur.

1. Post comments as comments not as answers. As it says next to the "Your answer" text entry field:

Before answering

You should only submit an answer when you are proposing a solution to the poster's problem. If you want the poster to clarify the question or provide more information, please leave a comment instead, requesting additional details. When answering,

2.If I asked for the structure, then that's because I think I need that information to answer your question. But it might be simple enough to say whether ZB_SALEHISTITM has exactly the same structure as ZB_SALESITEM_H. I suspect not.

3. As you're not a developer, you shouldn't be developing ABAP code. You'll get it wrong - inefficient code, worst case destroying your data. I strongly recommend you hire a developer. Or go on an ABAP training course before doing any coding.
