Please look to that your internal table IT_COUNT

does not contain any non-character fields ...

WA_COUNT LIKE IT_COUNT( Its an internal table

Hello,

Maybe a problem with the type of "wa_count": is it a char? I think that you typed it as Integer...

Wa_count should be the buffer used to transfer a line of your file into a workarea...

[Former Member]

Please check what is WA_COUNT ...

It should be of character type ...

WA_COUNT would be an integer ...

or declare WA_COUNT as ..

DATA: BEGIN OF WA_COUNT ,

data(500) TYPE c.

DATA: END OF WA_COUNT .

Hi,

declare c_dsn and wa_count as

data : c_dsn(1000) TYPE c,

wa_count(1000) type c.

HI.

refer this .

IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS

Effect:

This addition can be used to suppress a treatable exception defined by the class CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE. This exception can be triggered during reading or writing if conversion between codepages takes place and a character cannot be converted to the target codepage.

This addition is possible when opening text files, legacy text files, or legacy binary files, but not when opening binary files.

Notes

Each unconvertible character is replaced during conversion either by the character "#", or with the character defined by the addition REPLACEMENT CHARACTER. The addition IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS controls whether or not the user is notified of this by an exception.

This setting can be changed in an opened file using the statement SET DATASET.

To be rewards if its helpfull.

It should not have type i fields .. it should be of type char ...

[Former Member]

but he is doing calculations with those fields.

so what can be done.

[Former Member]

put it on a buffer (like wa_count(100) ) ; then extract the numbers that you need (if you know the position; use the + and (); fg: my_integer = wa_count+4(5) )

[Former Member]

Get all the data into a work area and move into your internal table as declared previously with type i's ...

Data : begin of wa_count occurs 0,

field1 type i,

field2 type i,

end of wa_count.

Data : outrec(200) type c

open dataset ....

read dataset c_sdn into outrec.

• now move from outrec to wa_count ....

U can do the calculations on wa_count ....

[Former Member]

Hi srinivas,

TAHNKS FOR UR REPLY.

[Former Member]

U need to count the characters and move .. say

move : outrec+0(8) to wa_count-field1

outrec+8(8) to wa_count-field2.

append wa_count.

now you have the values in wa_count ...
