ABAP - UNICODE ERRORS

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have non-unicode system and we will be in the process of changing existing ABAP's to become unicode compliant. I am getting errors for following sentences.

Can anyone let me know what could be the possible alternatives for this?

NUMB LIKE TVARVC-TYPE VALUE '0000',

CONSTANTS : C_CMDRET(3) TYPE C VALUE 'ZRES',

F5 TYPE VBTYP VALUE 'F5'

F8 TYPE VBTYP VALUE 'F8',

CASH_SALE VALUE 'BV', " this equals = 'B' !!!!!!!!!!

MKT_REPLEN_INV VALUE 'Z2'," this equals 'Z' !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Yogesh

The values are longer than the field lengths. Either specify the field lengths correctly, or adjust the values.

constants: numb(4) type c VALUE '0000'.
constants : c_cmdret(4) TYPE c VALUE 'ZRES',
            f5(2) type c VALUE 'F5',
            f8(2) type c VALUE 'F8',
cash_sale(2) type c VALUE 'BV', " this equals = 'B' !!!!!!!!!!
mkt_replen_inv(2) type c VALUE 'Z2'." this equals 'Z' !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Yogesh,

Out of the two alternatives Rich has suggested, i think it is better to

change the values only.

NUMB LIKE TVARVC-TYPE VALUE '0000',

CONSTANTS : C_CMDRET(3) TYPE C VALUE 'ZRES',

F5 TYPE VBTYP VALUE 'F'

F8 TYPE VBTYP VALUE 'F',

CASH_SALE VALUE 'B',

MKT_REPLEN_INV VALUE 'Z',

Because, the 5 if F5 , 8 in F8 V in BV and 2 in Z2 are not used even though it was declared in the earlier versions of the programs.
