issue with sy-tabix..

[Former Member]

hey,

In my BADI, i have a variable l_ztabix of type sy-tabix.

i loop thru my idoc data internal table and modify the internal table if neccessary.

loop at t_idoc_data INTO wa_idoc_data.

l_ztabix = sy-tabix.

...

....

modify t_idoc_data index l_ztabix FROM wa_idoc_data.

endloop.

now it so happens, that during the 10th iteration, the sy-tabix is 10, but when the statement l_ztabix = sy-tabix.

is encountered, l_ztabix is set to ' * '. I dont understand why !! bcos of this my modify fails and i get a dump that says, convert_no_number !!

can anyone guess what is happening ??

thks

You did not define l_ztabix big enough. Define it like this.

data: l_ztabix type sy-tabix

.

Yes Rich you were right. Actually I did a mistake of defining as follows:

data: l_ztabix, l_ztabix1 type sy-tabix.

Also, sy-index does not work !! it always retains the value of 1..

thank u
