Error when activating the method.

[Former Member]

Hello all,

The code is:

"DATA: newvariable type NUMERIC 12 swc_get_element container 'REQUISITION_NUM' newvariable."

The error am getting when activated is:

Class ZCL_HRMSS_RECRUITING_WF,Method CREATENBOBJECT

"NUMERIC" is a generic type. A type reference is possible only for

field symbols and formal parameters. -

What could be the problem.

Thanks

You need to review the basic syntax of the DATA statement.

DATA: newvariable(12) type n.

Hi Srinivas,

Change your newvariable declaration of variable as follows.

<b>DATA: newvariable(12) type N.</b>

I get one more error after making changes what you said.

Class ZCL_HRMSS_RECRUITING_WF,Method CREATENBOBJECT

",", "VALUE ...", "LENGTH ...", "DECIMALS ...", or "VALUE IS INITIAL"

expected after "N".

Hi Rich,

Here it is:

METHOD CREATENBOBJECT .

DATA: newvariable(12) type N swc_get_element container 'REQUISITION_NUM' newvariable.

CALL FUNCTION 'HRWPC_EREC_CREATE_EREC_OBJECT'

PS: is being imported from the container which was bound to workflow container.

I think you may be running two statements together. Put a period after the N

  data: newvariable(12) type n.

  swc_get_element container 'REQUISITION_NUM' newvariable.   "I think this is a macro

Statement "SWC_GET_ELEMENT" is not defined. Check your spelling.
