Syntax Check Error

Former Member — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 20:29:02 GMT

I am having a syntax check problem in my program.

Code for the same,

constants: c_tab type x value '09'.      "tab character!!!
 field-symbols: <f_separator>.

assign c_tab to <f_separator> type 'C'.

The Error is ,

The length of "C_TAB" in bytes must be a multiple of the size of a Unicode character (regardless of the size of the Unicode character).

Use

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

in Unicode systems

can you please elaborate about the correction.

Are you suggesting to change the declaration.

Will try to explain what Tomasz what advicing you:

Current Declaration:

>constants: c_tab type x value '09'. "tab character!!!

In Unicode enabled systems or Unicode Check active programs, we have few stricter syntax checks which result if errors compared to earlier mechanisms.

So for above declaration, you can define the same as a character field as below:

Change to:

>constants: c_tab type C value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Now you can use the same. Value of both definitions is same.
