Data cannot be converted to a character-type field

[Former Member]

Hi, i'm trying to make a program that display flight data using BAPI_FLIGHT_GETDETAIL function module.

The problem is when i'm trying to display the output using write, it keeps saying data cannot be converted to a character-type field,in this case it is wa_flight_data. Here is the code :

DATA : wa_flight_data TYPE bapisfldat,

wa_add_info TYPE bapisfladd,

wa_availability TYPE bapisflava,

it_ret TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapiret2,

wa_ret TYPE bapiret2.

PARAMETERS : pa_carr TYPE sflight-carrid,

pa_conn TYPE sflight-connid,

pa_date TYPE sflight-fldate.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_FLIGHT_GETDETAIL'

EXPORTING

airlineid = pa_carr

connectionid = pa_conn

flightdate = pa_date

IMPORTING

flight_data = wa_flight_data

additional_info = wa_add_info

availibility = wa_availability

TABLES

• EXTENSION_IN =

• EXTENSION_OUT =

return = it_ret.

WRITE : / 'Flight Data: ', wa_flight_data,

'Additional Info: ', wa_add_info,

'Availibility: ', wa_availability.

Look at the write statement ..

U need to write individual fields rather than the entire

internal table line at a time .....

WRITE : / 'Flight Data: ', wa_flight_data-wa_add_info ,

wa_flight_data-wa_availability .....

Hi,

U have to write the individual field names in write statement.

ex.

WRITE : / 'Flight Data: ', wa_flight_data-AIRLINEID

wa_flight_data-AIRLINE.

if all fields have charecter data type u can print all fields by using structure name.

Hi jul!!!

write like this:

DATA : wa_flight_data TYPE bapisfldat,

wa_add_info TYPE bapisfladd,

wa_availability TYPE bapisflava,

it_ret TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapiret2,

wa_ret TYPE bapiret2.

PARAMETERS : pa_carr TYPE sflight-carrid,

pa_conn TYPE sflight-connid,

pa_date TYPE sflight-fldate.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_FLIGHT_GETDETAIL'

EXPORTING

airlineid = pa_carr

connectionid = pa_conn

flightdate = pa_date

IMPORTING

flight_data = wa_flight_data

additional_info = wa_add_info

availibility = wa_availability

TABLES

*EXTENSION_IN =

*EXTENSION_OUT =

return = it_ret.

write : / 'Flight Data: ',

wa_flight_data-AIRLINEID,

wa_flight_data-AIRLINE,

wa_flight_data-CONNECTID,

wa_flight_data-FLIGHTDATE,

wa_flight_data-AIRPORTFR,

wa_flight_data-CITYFROM,

wa_flight_data-AIRPORTTO,

wa_flight_data-CITYTO,

wa_flight_data-DEPTIME,

wa_flight_data-ARRTIME,

wa_flight_data-ARRDATE,

wa_flight_data-PRICE,

wa_flight_data-CURR,

wa_flight_data-CURR_ISO.

similaryly for wa_add_info and wa_availability.

becoz u r using work area directly in WRITE statement and

wa_flight_data TYPE bapisfldat,

wa_add_info TYPE bapisfladd,

wa_availability TYPE bapisflava,

contains both int and char data so u can print all of them together..They can be printed field by field.

if any doubts..let me knw.

hope it helps.

kindly rewrd.
