Former Member — Wed, 07 May 2008 04:24:40 GMT

Hello friends,

I have created a text editor and while activating the program the error it was showing like ...

PI_TEXT_KEY MUST BE CHARACTER-TYPE FIELD (DATA TYPE C, N, D, T). "INTERFACE". BY INTERFACE........

my data declarations for PI_TEXT_KEY is like....

DATA:

BEGIN OF text_idx,

reqno TYPE yreqno,

srtf2 LIKE ZRIF-srtf2,

END OF text_idx,

pi_text_key LIKE text_idx.

Can i know what it is problem in this case.

points will be rewarded for the helpful answer.

Thks

Hi, Venkateshwar.

Probably, the error is caused by the fields you've declared on text_idx.

Possibly, the fields yreqno and srtf2 aren't Data type C, N, D, or T.

I believe that's why the error occurs. Try changing the data type, if possible.

Hope it helps,

Hello Brian,

My data typs for Yreqno is Numc, and srtf2 is INT1 and the data element for srtf2 is SYBIN1 its system defined.
