[Former Member]

Hi ,

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO DECLARE QUANTITY AND CURRENCY FIELDS IN ORDER PREVENT AN UNICODE ERROR

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR LIKE BSEG-WRBTR, " currency

end of itab.

this is the code in 4.6c

This is how iam declaring in ecc 6.0 system with unicode

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR(17) type c, " currency

end of itab.

is the right way declaration or should i declare the same as i did in 4.6c but when i did the same way

as in 4.6c i had issues with

DESCRIBE FIELD Itab LENGTH LEN IN CHARACTER MODE.

let me know which is the right way to declare in ecc 6.0 with unicode

Hi,

when you say the first way, you mean this

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR LIKE BSEG-WRBTR, " currency

end of itab.

or the other

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR(17) type c, " currency

end of itab.

.If i declare this way

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR LIKE BSEG-WRBTR, " currency

end of itab.

iam getting error in following code

DESCRIBE FIELD Itab LENGTH LEN IN CHARACTER MODE.

as

error : "ITAB" must be a character-type field (data type C, N, D, or T).

if i declare

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR(17) type c, " currency

end of itab.

can i get the data from the table directly in wrbtr

say

select single wrbtr from bseg into itab-wrbtr where -

---

does it gives any wrrors orthis statement is ok

let me know

thanks\

Hi Preeti,

the first way of declaration is correct, but you can't use this with DESCRIBE.

And the second way WRBTR(17) will not give you any error in the select statement.

So If you want to use DESCRIBE then define it as WRBTR(17) but it is not the proper way, instead you can move itab to any STRING type field and then use DESCRIBE.

Reward points if useful.

Hello Preeti,

Declare like this - Calculation

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR LIKE BSEG-WRBTR, " currency

end of itab.

if you do not have any calculation

data: begin of itab,

BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS,

AUGDT LIKE BSEG-AUGDT,

WRBTR(17) type c, " currency

end of itab.
