Refer this.

Error:

Correct:

Constants : c_tab type abap_char1 value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab .

Hi,

Check this out.

Error:

In case of TYPE X Error; ‘Variable must be of C, N, D, T or STRING type.’

Correction:

We need to change all the Type X (Hexadecimal) variables to Type C with their values unchanged.

So the method to be followed is:-

1. Load the definition of the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE or CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES.

2. Declare the variable as Type C, and use the method UCCP(‘XXXX’) of the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE where XXXX represents the 8-bit Hexadecimal value and incase the variable holds a Hex value for a Horizontal Tab , then the Attribute “HORIZONTAL_TAB” of the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES can be used directly instead of using the method UCCP.

E.g.:

i) *DATA: TAB TYPE X VALUE 09, “Tab character

CLASS: CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES DEFINITION LOAD.

DATA TAB TYPE C VALUE CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

ii) * DATA: CHAR TYPE X VALUE 160.

CLASS: CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE DEFINITION LOAD.

DATA CHAR TYPE C.

CHAR = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP(‘00AO’).

(Here ‘00A0’ is the Hexadecimal equivalent of the decimal 160).

3. Incase the TYPE X Variable has a length more than 1, then an internal table must be created for the variable.

E.g.:

CLASS: CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE DEFINITION LOAD.

DATA : LF(2) TYPE X VALUE 'F5CD'.

DATA : BEGIN OF LF,

A1 TYPE C,

A2 TYPE C,

END OF LF.

LF-A1 = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP('00F5').

LF-A2 = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP('00CD').

Reward if helpful.
