not convertible

[Former Member]

Hye techies,

I have a variable which is of type string. This has to be passed into one of the methods which has a parameter of type string.

the variable i retrieve from my programming has a type cgpl_text( char 40). When i am assigning this variable to the variable that has to be passed in the method i m getting a syntax error

variable1 and variable2 are not convertiable in unicode program.

prg:

 DATA: col_text1 type cgpl_text,
           col_text2 type string.

ASSIGN COMPONENT 'TEXT1' OF STRUCTURE <row> TO <col>.
  col_text1 = <col>.  " the value is fitting properly in col_text1.
  col_text2 = col_text1. " this statement gives error.

Please help.

Thanks,

Imran

why are you taking col_text2 as string type????

If this error is coming just take col_text2 type char40.

i think your error will go out.

Hi,

It is failing because col_text1is a structure of type cgpl_text.

If you want to move just the text1 element to the string why not just use....

data: col_text1 type cgpl_text,
      col_text2 type string.

col_text2 = col_text1-text1.

hi Imran,

redefine your col_text2 like this

DATA: col_text2 type cgpl_text.

this should solve your problem.

yes....you are right....as you are passing the variable of type TEXT40 then you have to take the type as TEXT40 or char40.

col_text2 type text40.

so that the col_text2 can hold col_text1-text1...

Hi

You are trying to assign a structure to a string. That's the problem.

Do like this.

DATA: col_text1 type cgpl_text-text1, " Change the data type from structure to field
       col_text2 type string.
 
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'TEXT1' OF STRUCTURE <row> TO <col>.
  col_text1 = <col>. 
  col_text2 = col_text1.
