Hi i am getting an error 'Dangerous use of TRANSLATE in a multilingual system.' in my code line TRANSLATE itabc-Istext TO UPPER CASE. wot shud i do to remove this error?

It will give this error for TRNSALATE, if u can use any alternate try to use otherwise u cant remove this.

Whether itabc-Istext is character.

Use the FM AIPC_CONVERT_TO_UPPERCASE to convert to upper case instead of translate statement...

hi,

Try this way ..

v_lstext type lstext.

loop at itabc.
v_lstext  = itabc-Istext.
TRANSLATE v_lstext TO UPPER CASE.
 itabc-Istext  = v_lstext  .
 clear v_lstext.
endloop.

you have to specify the local language before translating the text using TRANSLATE STATEMENT.

SET LOCALE LANGUAGE 'E'. 
TRANSLATE text TO UPPER CASE. 

thx
