Data Type X is not allowed in Unicode System. You need to convert them to character.

Check class: CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES, you have few pre-defined characters.

Taking example for TAB:

We define it as below

>data: l_tab(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Hope it will help you.

pls reward if help.

Have a look at the methods of class CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES:

codeFILL_CONTAINER_C Fill Container of Type C or STRING with Content

READ_CONTAINER_C Read Container of Type C or STRING[/code]

These static methods should be used to convert structured data to unstructured and vice versa in a Unicode system.

The remaining non-numeric type - X - always interprets individual bytes in memory. One byte is represented by a two-digit hexadecimal display. The fields with this type are called hexadecimal fields. In hexadecimal fields, you can process single bits.
