Hi Gurus

I am using the extension parameters of BAPI to load some customized fields for the object-BUILDING in REAL ESTATE MODULE using LSMW-BAPI.

Here's the code-

*Target Field: E1BPPAREX-VALUEPART1 Data part of BAPI extension paramet

DATA:

lt_extension_in TYPE TABLE OF bapiparex,

ls_extension_in TYPE bapiparex,

ls_ci_data TYPE rebd_building_ci.

ls_ci_data-zgisx = hsouthernwater-zgisx.

ls_ci_data-zgisy = hsouthernwater-zgisy.

ls_ci_data-zdeed = hsouthernwater-zdeed.

ls_ci_data-zland = hsouthernwater-zland.

ls_ci_data-zsite = hsouthernwater-zsite.

ls_extension_in-structure = 'CI_DATA'.

ls_extension_in-valuepart1 = ls_ci_data.

CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c

EXPORTING

im_value = ls_ci_data

IMPORTING

ex_container = ls_extension_in-valuepart1

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

e1bpparex-valuepart1 = ls_extension_in-valuepart1.

I AM GETTING THE ERROR IN THE LINE-

ls_extension_in-valuepart1 = ls_ci_data.

SAYING THAT

ls_extension_in-valuepart1 and ls_ci_data. are mutually not convertible

I have written the same code for 3 objects in RE-The code was working fine in those objects.But in object- building i am getting this error..

Anyone out there please help me regarding this..

Thanks in advance

Karthik,

Thanks for the reply..

But if i comment that line it will not populate the data in valuepart1 field of the extension structure.

Wat is the probable reason for this error??
