Hi,

Can anybody with following code. I am converting program to unicode and getting an error 'Null space must be a data type C N D T'. Here is the code.

DATA NULL_SPACE(2) TYPE x VALUE '0020'.

TRANSLATE BDCDATA-FVAL USING NULL_SPACE.

Regards,

First convert type x to type c using CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities. Then use it in the translate statement.

Hi,

I think you need to find the display value of hexadecimal value of 20 first and then look for the replacement in char format.

LIke '09' in hexadeciamal is represnted as #.

I dont know if there is any method to convert in this CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES class.

Thanks,

Vamshi.

Do something like below: -

data: left_content type string,

right_content type string,

xcontent type xstring.

data: w_longchar(20).

constants: c_unknown(7) value 'Unknown'.

xcontent = '0020'.

data: conv type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce.

conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = xcontent ).

conv->read( importing data = left_content ).
