Data Type for String...

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to hold text data in an internal table.

So I created a structure as follows:

data: begin of str,

val type c,

end of str.

later when I go and add text values to the internal table,it displayes only the first character of the texts that I append.

How do I define the length of "C"?or which data type can I use to store strings of variable length?

Could someone pelase help me with this?

Thanks,

Sudha.

Try this,

data: var1 type string.

TYPE C - Stores only 1 char by default. You may declare fixed length by saying

DATA: VAR1(10) TYPE C.

To store variable length use TYPE STRING.
