Hi there

C'mon guys use OO.

Given the growth of IT in certain parts of the world you guys above all should not still be using "Dinosaur Technology"

Forget the old Classic Abap methods as these won't work reliably (if at all) on Unicode systems anyway.

Ist method converts structure to a string

2nd converts string to structure.


CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c

CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>read_container_c

The SPLIT command is quite useful to break your string up if you have delimited the fields say with tab chars.

Note that your type X value '09' will also give problems on a unicode systeem

You'll need to use the attributes in cl_abap_utilities.

There's equivalent values you can use. (SE24)

Advantage here is that this also works on a Unicode system.
