Error converting internal table data to FLat file

SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT

When i m using this function module to convert my internal table data in to text format

i m getting a dump :

Short text

The current statement is only defined for character-type data objects.

Please help me out

Hi

See that all your Internal table fields are of <b>CHAR</b> type

if not convert them to CHAR type and then use this fun module

it will work.

My Code looks some thing like this

TYPE-POOLS : truxs.

DATA : gt_text TYPE truxs_t_text_data.

SELECT * FROM vbak INTO TABLE lt_vbak.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT'

EXPORTING

i_field_seperator = '#'

TABLES

i_tab_sap_data = lt_vbak

CHANGING

i_tab_converted_data = gt_text.

Hi,

try using dataset then,

OPEN DATASET outfile_fcsr FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

LOOP AT lt_vbak into wa_vbak.

TRANSFER wa_vbak TO outfile_fcsr.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET outfile_fcsr.

where outfile_fcsr is file path.
