error during unicode conversion

Former Member — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:49:30 GMT

Dear all,

we are facing one issue during unicode conversion. the code is as follows:

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <n> TYPE X,
                             <c> TYPE C.

DATA : a TYPE i.
DATA : x TYPE x.

MOVE <n> TO a.

a = a + 22.

MOVE a TO x.

ASSIGN x TO <c> CASTING TYPE c

and we are getting the following error:

ERROR : the length of "X" in bytes must be a multiple of the size of a Unicode character (regardless of the size of the unicode character

please guide on how this can be resolved in ECC.

Regards,

N.Jain

Hi,

Can u explain what u want to achieve by following statement.

MOVE <n> TO a.

I think it will give error.

Try providing some length to X.

May be something like:

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <n> TYPE X,
                             <c> TYPE C.

DATA : a TYPE i.
DATA : x(12) TYPE x.


a = a + 22.

MOVE a TO x.

ASSIGN x TO <c> CASTING TYPE c.

write <c>.

Hi,

here is some code to do it:

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <n> TYPE x,

<c> TYPE c.

DATA : a TYPE i.

DATA : x TYPE x.

MOVE <n> TO a.

a = a + 22.

MOVE a TO x.

DATA:

buffer TYPE xstring,

conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,

x_char.

buffer = x.

conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(

encoding = 'NON-UNICODE'

input = buffer

CALL METHOD conv->read(

EXPORTING

n = 1

IMPORTING

data = x_char

ASSIGN x_char TO <c>.

In Unicode the Formal and Actual parameters should have same type of structure or data types
