Assignment statement not working properly

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am gettting an error, when executing the following code in my program:

DATA: it_bapiret TYPE TABLE OF bapiret2.

DATA: wa_bapiret TYPE bapiret2.

-

---

--

--

Logic for filling the internal table IT_BAPIRET

--

--

-

---

LOOP AT it_bapiret INTO wa_bapiret.

write: / wa_bapiret.

ENDLOOP.

When i check this, i am gettting the error WA_BAPIRET cannot be converted to a character type field.

I need all the possible solutions to resolve this error: like using FILL_CONTAINER_C, ASSIGN statement, or declaring equivalent structure of character type.

Please justify which solution will be best suited/more feasible, if possible.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Suresh

hi

LOOP AT it_bapiret INTO wa_bapiret.
write: / wa_bapiret.  "  Try to use its Component in the Write Statement
ENDLOOP.

In the above code you are trying to write wa_bapiret which is clearly a structure. Instead you need to use

wa_bapiret-COMPENT_NAME.

Hope this is clear to you.

I know you closed this thread.

still i felt it will be useful to you.

Try this

LOOP AT it_bapiret INTO wa_bapiret.

write: / wa_bapiret-type,wa_bapiret-message.

ENDLOOP.

Let me also know how do you fill you internal table.

Check whether you have used this type of code.

wa1 = wa2" This may not result as error in Non-Unicode system but an error in Unicode system

"To handle these cases, we need to explicitly move the fields like

wa1-field1 = wa2-field1.

wa1-field2 = wa2-field2.

Hello Keshu,

The Internal table is filled via BAPI call. (Return message (errors) of BAPI).

I know the solution what you are proposing.

I need the justification of where we need to use:

1.) ASSIGN Statements (when i used assign only output length of 255 is visible. Not the entire workarea)

2.) FILL_CONTAINER_C and READ_CONTAINER_C methods

3.) Declaring a structure similar to WA_BAPIRET (defining each and every field but of character type)

4.) Writing each and every field seperately

Please justify the difference between these solutions.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Suresh

I dont know what you are asking.

Your Question was how to solve the error.

(when i used assign only output length of 255 is visible. Not the entire workarea)

It could more easy if you provide your code.

****

FILL_CONTAINER_C and READ_CONTAINER_C methods

I dont have a answer to this question.
