unicode error

Former Member — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 12:30:36 GMT

Hi experts,

i am encountering a problem while doing the remediation of a program it shows error in runtime

Abend on testing:

UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE

106 START-OF-SELECTION.

107 PERFORM SELECT.

108

109 LOOP AT OUTREC.

>>>> TRANSFER OUTREC TO FILE.

111 ENDLOOP.

in runtime its show Error analysis

For the statement

"TRANSFER f TO ..."

only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position

"f".

In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "u". The

current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type

'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are

regarded as non-character-type.

HERE OUTREC IS A INTERNAL TABLE DATA: BEGIN OF OUTREC OCCURS 0,

BUKRS LIKE VBRK-BUKRS, " company code (4)

FKSTO LIKE VBRK-FKSTO, " billing document cancelled? if 'X'

FKART LIKE VBRK-FKART, " billing document type (4)

VBELN LIKE VBRK-VBELN, " billing document number (10)

POSNR LIKE VBRP-POSNR, " billing document line number (6)

WAERK LIKE VBRK-WAERK, " currency (5)

KURRF LIKE VBRK-KURRF, " financial exchange rate (12)

FKDAT LIKE VBRK-FKDAT, " billing date (8)

BELNR LIKE VBRK-BELNR, " accounting document (10)

GJAHR LIKE VBRK-GJAHR, " fiscal year (4)

POPER LIKE VBRK-POPER, " posting period (3)

VKORG LIKE VBRK-VKORG, " SALES ORGANISATION (4)

TAXK1 LIKE VBRK-TAXK1, " customer tax classification (1)

KUNAG LIKE VBRK-KUNAG, " ordering party customer number (10)

LAND1 LIKE VBRK-LAND1, " country key of invoice recipien (3)

LANDTX LIKE VBRK-LANDTX, " country code for tax determinat (3)

FBUDA LIKE VBRP-FBUDA, " date services rendered (8)

MATNR LIKE VBRP-MATNR, " material number

TAXM1 LIKE VBRP-TAXM1, " material tax classification (1)

NETWR(16), " net value in billing currency (16)

MWSBP(14), " VAT value in billing currency (14)

MRKER(1) TYPE C, " end of record marker

END OF OUTREC.

and file is

parameters: file(50) default ' ' lower case,

i have tried it by useing class

CALL METHOD CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES=>FILL_CONTAINER_C
EXPORTING
IM_VALUE = OUTREC

IMPORTING
EX_CONTAINER = V_FILE

EXCEPTIONS
ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_TYPE = 1
others = 2

but not succeded . if any body can explain me how to resolve this problem then please tell me immidiately.

Thanks

Hi there,

I cannot exactly what to change but I can give you some way.

The issue here is that there is field in your Internal table which is of type 'X' (hexadecimal).

In unicode this kind of field cannot be transfered.

What can be done?

You have to find which field is that which is of TYPE 'X'.

Then change that field from TYPE 'X' to 'C'. If this is not possible then create a workarea similar to this internal table but with that field as type 'C' and do a manual move

like :

MOVE OUTREC-<field1> to WA_OUTREC-<field1> "Here OUTREC-<field1> is TYPE 'X' but WA_OUTREC-<field1> is type 'C'.

Now use this WA_OUTREC(Workarea) in TRANSFER statement.

This should work.

Hello Pankaj

How did you open the dataset? In TEXT MODE or in BINARY MODE?

Perhaps it works if you are using BINARY MODE.

Hi,

If you have unicode system and want to save data to file with non-unicode format you should use LEGACY MODE in OPEN DATASET command.

For example:

OPEN DATASET FILENAME IN LEGACY BINARY MODE CODE PAGE '1401' FOR OUTPUT.
