Moving Structure values in Unicode environment.

[former_member219162]

Hi,

I am facing the following problem related to Unicode enabling in my program after the Version Upgrade from 4.6C to 5.0.

-

---

Before Unicode

-

---

data : P_innnn structure PRELP,

ps0009 like PS0009.

ps0009 = p_innnn-data1.

The above code works perfectly.

-

---

After Unicode

-

---

The above code is not working and it is showing an error while activation with following message.

"PS0009 and p_innnn-data1 are not mutually convertible in Unicode programs".

Please suggest a way to get the required fuctionality.

Regards,

Anirban

I think you want to move the P_INNNN-DATA1 to a certain field of PS0009, yes? If so, then specify the field.

ps0009-<b>FIELD</b> = p_innnn-data1.

Unicode objects as it recognises that the PS0009 structure is 354 bytes wide but p_innnn-data1 is only 250.

As long as the first 250 bytes of ps0009 are structured identically to prelp-data1 you can use this:

field-symbols <f> type prelp-data1.

assign ps0009 to <f> casting.

<f> = p_innnn-data1.

If there are now differences between the structures you will probably get short dumps. If that happens you will need to find out exactly how data1 is structured.

Hi ,

If u r trying to pass one structure to anothr in a Unicode environment , we have to take care of the non-character type fields(fields which are not of types : C , D , N or T).

we have to pass the structure in 2 steps.

1)character type fields(till u come across some non-character field) can be passed or compared usually. (till that part using offset)

2)if we have some non-char type field in between u need to pass it field by field.

hope it helps,

Bye,

Uma.

just ina case you haven't figured it out already..You will have to use a method as follows..

<b>cl_hr_pnnnn_type_cast=>prelp_to_pnnnn</b>
