EXPORT / IMPORT

Former Member — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:32:06 GMT

Hai all!

I have two programs like this :

report test1.

DATA :

w_char TYPE n VALUE '1'.

EXPORT w_char TO MEMORY ID 'ABC'.

SUBMIT test2 AND RETURN.

WRITE 😕 w_char.

report test2.

DATA :

w_char TYPE c.

IMPORT w_char FROM MEMORY ID 'ABC'.

WRITE 😕 w_char.

If i execute test1 i am getting a runtime error.

The Dump says "Error when attempting to import w_char".

My doubt is w_char in test1 is of type N and in test2 it is of type C, So why is it not taking 1 into w_char field in test2 when types of the field in test1 and test2 are type compatible.

Thanks in advance,

Swapna.

Both the types are not compatible.Thats wy the error is coming if u want to store the importing value in the character variable, then do onething...

In test2

Declare one field wf_temp of type n.

Import to wf_temp.

then wf_char = wf_temp.

This may help...

If helpful...reward points....

Hi,

w_char declared in test1 and test2 reports should be of same data type.

Hi Swapna,

Import it to a numeric type and then assign it to a character type to suit your requirement.

Thanks,

Hi Swapna,

both the types SHOULD be same.

convertible and compatible are not the words.

Reward if useful.
