conversion problem edidd-sdata to corresponding segment structure.

Former Member — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:32:14 GMT

I have to copy the segment data from an idoc to segment structure.I tried moving the data in following way.

MOVE gs_edidd-sdata TO gs_segment_structure.

I heard that move statement does an internal conversion to move the data.

I cannot use MOVE CORRESPONDING

...

But i am getting an syntax error that the <b>gs_segment_structure</b> cannot be converted to <b>gs_edidd-sdata</b>.

Its urgent, Thanks in advance

what is the type of gs_segment_structure ?

For instance, when gs_edidd-sdate is the data from segment E1EDKA1, then the gs_segment_structure should be defined as type e1edk1a :

DATA: gs_segment_structure type e1edka1.

Hi,

What is the structure of the gs_structure?

edidd-sdata is a 1000 char field.

YOu should probably use offset concept to move the sdata to smaller fields of gs_structure.

Hi!

If gs_edidd-sdata and gs_segment_structure are not exactly the same length, they cannot be moved to each other.

You might use a MOVE field-by-field.

MOVE gs_edidd-sdata+5(10) TO gs_segment_structure-fielda.

MOVE gs_edidd-sdata+15(30) TO gs_segment_structure-fieldb.

And so on...

Or gs_edidd-sdata is 1000 long, and gs_segment_structure is only 500 long, you might try the following:

MOVE gs_edidd-sdata(500) TO gs_segment_structure.
