Unicode Error for write

Former Member — Tue, 06 May 2008 08:49:21 GMT

Hi,

I get the following unicode error for write statement.

"YMTIL_CONS_MTMS0" cannot be converted to a character-type field.

here YMTIL_CONS_MTMS0 is a custom table and

TABLES

*" Y_Z0SDS STRUCTURE Z0SDS ( declared in the function module)

WRITE YMTIL_CONS_MTMS0 TO Y_Z0SDS-IFOD.

Any help please?

Regards

Sachin

Hi,

the problem is, that you try to move a table to a field.

That can´t go.

try this:

move-corresponding YMTIL_CONS_MTMS0 TO Y_Z0SDS.

Hi,

I hope Y_Z0SDS-IFOD is of CHAR type.

All fileds of Custom Table YMTIL_CONS_MTMS0 should be of type C,N,D or T, else below statement is invalid in Unicode environment.

Post the structure of table YMTIL_CONS_MTMS0 to have solution.

Regards,

Satya

In Unicode programs it is advised to do these kind of actions per component.

In unicode programs you must take into account the difference between character types and byte types. Therefore you can not just move the entire structure to a single field.

the field IFOD is of type LCHR 2048 0.

What is the alternative method to use, if write to cannot be used in that way?

try: Y_Z0SDS-IFOD = name of your structure.

But this can only work if the whole structure has character types (C,N,D,T and string).
