Hi,

I have condition like this

ab = 5.

now i wanted to move the value of ab to info having type c.

but it is not taking the value of c.

clear mlin.

mlin-type = 'S'.

mlin-info = ???

what i have to write in place of ??? so that it will display the value of ab in mlin-info.

1st check the lenght of <b>mlin-info = ???</b>it is more than 16 bit.

before conversion remember . char type take 1 byte and integer type take 2 byte

Hi Salil,

check the coding for your test case as below:

REPORT Z_TEST .

data: ab type i value 5.

data: begin of mlin occurs 0,

typ type c,

info type c,

end of mlin.

clear mlin.

mlin-typ = 'S'.

mlin-info = ab.

append mlin.

loop at mlin.

write: / mlin-typ, mlin-info.

endloop.

Execute this, you will get your answer.

P.S. mark all helpful asnwers for points.

Below code works for me, kindly check the same on your

system.

data: l_num type i value 5.

data: l_char(1) type c.
data: begin of l_struc,
        num type c,
      end of l_struc.

l_char = l_num.
l_struc-num = l_num.

write:/ l_char.

write:/ l_struc-num.

Kind Regards
