Former Member — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 14:00:36 GMT

Hi Experts,

I new to ECC 6.0. when i build an internal table. In that i have a feild

lgrad TYPE p DECIMALS 3,

when i run Extended Program Check when i check Obsolete statements it is giving an error

The current ABAP command is obsolete .Explicit length specifications are necessary with types C, P, X, N, and W in the OO context.

how should i rectify the error.

Hi Raghavendra,

you must specify the lenght:

lgrad(4) TYPE p DECIMALS 3.

Thanks for points.

You need to specify the length of the field, for example;

lgrad(8) TYPE p DECIMALS 3,

Even better, define with reference to an existing data element or type.

hi,

try to set the lenght of field Igrad.

Hi Raghavendra,

You can add the key word LENGTH to the declaration to be more legible.

so convert your statement to

lgrad TYPE p LENGTH <your expected length of variable> DECIMALS 3,

That would take you out of the obsolescence of the current statement.

Reward points if this helps,
