Character string mapped to structure?

Former Member — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:11:04 GMT

Hi,

I hav a work structure WA_MARA LIKE MARA, and a 4000-character variable DATA(4000) TYPE C.

Now, the data from DATA needs to be copied into the fields of WA_MARA, but a statemnt like WA_MARA = DATA gives a Unicode error.

Ne ideas how to solve this?

This is not possible in unicode systems. Maybe, you can solve the problem using Field-Symbols...

Hi Shailesh,

Try using move statement and if this still persists then go to attributes and uncheck "unicode checks active".

This would solve your problem.

I've got a solution to your problem; As bluemoon has suggested, you must use field-symbols. You must also cast it.

DATA: wa_mara LIKE mara,

DATA(4000) TYPE c.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE mara.

ASSIGN DATA TO <fs> CASTING.

wa_mara = <fs>.

But be careful here, it could happen that there will be a problem with the type P fields here.
