Getting errors while conversion of ABAP program into Unicode check

[Former Member]

Hi,

I changed the one ABAP program for some requirement and try to save it, it is giving error that the program is not unicode compatible.I set the unicode checks active box under Attributes and again activate it .It is not allowing to concatenate the two variables which is declared as follows :

constants: c_tab type x value '09', "tab character

c_cr type x value '0D'. "carriage return character

I tried to use field symbols but still giving error (code after change)

constants: c_tab type x value '09', "tab character

c_cr type x value '0D'. "carriage return character

field-symbols : <f_c_tab> type any,

<f_c_cr> type any.

Assign c_tab to <f_c_tab> CASTING type c.

Assign c_cr to <f_c_cr> CASTING type c.

error :The length of "C_TAB" in bytes must be a multiple of the size of a Unicode character (regardless of the size of the Unicode character).

pls guide me so that I can cancatenate the c_tab and c_cr variables

Hi,

Tab Character ----->Data: tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

Carraige Return---->Data : cr(2)  type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf..

You will not be able to use the concatenate statement for hexadecimal variables in unciode system. Try using the above equivalent character variables. In unicode system avoid using hexadecimal variables wherever possible Regards, lakshman.
