Hi swaminathan,

1. Don't worry.

Its just like warning.

The program will run fine.

2. The error comes bcos of :

BUKRS field.

3. BUKRS in SAP is company code

and is meant for use in different languages.

If u don't define the variable as BUKRS,

and simply CHAR(4)

it won't give any error.

4. see this code :

REPORT zam_temp169 .

DATA : a(10) TYPE c.

TRANSLATE a TO UPPER CASE.

*----

---

this will give error

DATA : bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs.

TRANSLATE bukrs TO UPPER CASE.

regards,

amit m.

From SAP HELP:

Problems may occur if the language of the text environment differs from the language in which the data to be processed is entered.

Use SET LOCALE before using TRANSLATE.

SET LOCALE LANGUAGE lang [COUNTRY cntry] [MODIFIER mod].
