Uni-code syntax error

Former Member — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:20:05 GMT

Hello Experts-

I am migration my code from 4.7 to ECC6.0.

The code is working fire in 4.7 but in ECC6.0 it is giving me compilation error. I think it is becuase of Uni-code but not sure how to fix it.

Following code id giving me error.

DATA: BEGIN OF l_program_tab OCCURS 50.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE textpool.

DATA: program_flag(1) type c,

END OF l_program_tab.

The error is "The line type of "l_program_tab" must be compatible with one of the types "TEXTPOOL" ".

The TEXTPOOL structure is

ID TEXTPOOLID CHAR 1

KEY TEXTPOOLKY CHAR 8

ENTRY TEXTPOOLTX CHAR 255

LENGTH TEXTPOOLLN INT4 10

Can idea why this piece of code is working in 4.7 and giving error in ECC6.0?

Thanks,

Try to replace the statement the "data" statment with "types"

and then use data to define internal table

Hello Mr.A & Santosh Kumar-

Your answeres were really helpful I will definately give some points.

I am getting next syntax error on my code

DATA: l_db_tab like l_program_tab OCCURS 50 WITH HEADER LINE.

the error is "When using 'WITH HEADER LINE', the line type cannot be a table type

Please let me know if I have to make any changes in my above code too?

Thanks for helping me, I am not good in data declaration of abap.

Also if you have a good document to change existing abap code in to unicode, please provide me.

Thanks,

Hi,

Comment your line

*DATA: BEGIN OF l_program_tab occurs 50 with header line.

and try this line

DATA: BEGIN OF l_program_tab occurs 50.

both means the same...

Hi,

Have you tried something like...

DATA: l_db_tab like line of l_program_tab OCCURS 50 WITH HEADER LINE.

Hope this helps, Andy
