Unicode problem

Former Member — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 13:47:05 GMT

Hello guys,

I am trying to figure out SM30 table events. I have lots of coding samples from the forum, but most of them doesn't work, because of a unicode short-dump.

I am trying to implement a Before save event (01) in this form:

FORM update_user_date_time.

DATA: f_index LIKE sy-tabix.

DATA: BEGIN OF l_total.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE zztable.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE vimtbflags.

DATA END OF l_total.

DATA: s_record TYPE zztable.

LOOP AT total INTO l_total.

IF l_total-vim_action = aendern OR

l_total-vim_action = neuer_eintrag.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING l_total TO s_record.

s_record-zz_user = sy-uname.

s_record-zz_date = sy-datum.

s_record-zz_time = sy-uzeit.

READ TABLE extract WITH KEY l_total.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

f_index = sy-tabix.

ELSE.

CLEAR f_index.

ENDIF.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING s_record TO l_total.

MODIFY total FROM l_total.

CHECK f_index GT 0.

MODIFY extract INDEX f_index FROM l_total.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDFORM. " UPDATE_USER_DATE_TIME

The short dump is this:

Runtime Error UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Date and Time 27.11.2006 14:28:10

ShrtText

Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible.

on this line:

>>>>> LOOP AT total INTO l_total.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you!

hi,

As per my knowledge the problem would be in the declaration of "toal" and "l_total".

Can you please send me the declaration of data object "total"?

So that I can understand the problem more clearly and will try to find a solution.

i think local internal table definition should be

DATA: BEGIN OF l_total OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE zztable.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE vimtbflags.

DATA END OF l_total.

OCCURS 0 will create an implicit work area with the name same as internal table name. Award points if it helps.

Total is a Global data object in that event.

I saw that document, thank you.

But no example there for event 01 ( Before save ) , or with total data object.

Hi,

U can give a try with this:

Declare a field symbol of type VIM_TOTAL_KEY as given in the docu.

Loop at total assigning <fiel symbol> .

after this we can do one to one dat transfer to s_record or if the structur eof both s_rcord and field symbol is same then we can directly use the MOVE-corresponding statement.

Hope this helps.

Hi again,

VIM_TOTAL_KEY is not a type, is a <fs> type ANY .

I can use a <fs> type ANY , bun I cannot access the individual components of table line total...
