object_not_charlike error in ALV print

[former_member125661]

I get the object_not_charlike run time error when i use print option in my ALV grid (I used class objects).

I know that it is because of some quant fields & currency field that are in the columns.

I feel i am not referencing them correctly.

The internal table that I am using doesn't have any Uom field or currency type field. So, I was trying to reference to MARA-MEINS and T001-WAERS. I don't think i am getting it right.

My internal table is called Itab.

and the 2 quant fields are MINBE,EISBE and 2 currency fields are 'VERPR,STPRS. Please advice..Thanks.

perform append_catalog using 'MINBE' 'MARC' .
  perform append_catalog using 'EISBE' 'MARC' .

 perform append_catalog using 'VERPR' 'MBEW' .
  perform append_catalog using 'STPRS' 'MBEW' .

form append_catalog using value(p_fname)
                          value(p_tname).

  data : v_fcat type lvc_s_fcat.
  v_fcat-fieldname = p_fname.
  v_fcat-ref_table = p_tname.
*  v_fcat-tabname = 'ITAB'.

  case p_fname.

   when 'EISBE' or 'MINBE'.
    v_fcat-ref_table = 'MARA'.
*    v_fcat-REF_FIELD = 'MEINS'.
    v_fcat-qfieldname    = 'MEINS'.


   when 'VERPR' or 'STPRS'.
    v_fcat-ref_table = 'T001'.
*    v_fcat-REF_FIELD = 'WAERS'.
    v_fcat-cfieldname = 'WAERS'.

  endcase.


  append v_fcat to gi_fieldcat.
endform.                    "APPEND_CATALOG

I even removed qfieldname and cfieldname from the case-endcase, still it dumps while I click on print option (Export to excel work fine).

in the Note 166681 - Use of ALV components not released externally

When you use the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY and REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY

function modules, you can perform a consistency check which closes when an

error log is output.

As an alternative to this (for example, if a short dump occurs before the

list is output), set I_INTERFACE_CHECK = 'X' parameter in the source

code when you call up the function modules.

if you do this the ALV show tou you error

I am using class method not REUSE.... FM.

Hi

If you want to indicate the reference field for currency and quantity fields, u need to add these reference fields to your output table:

PERFORM APPEND_CATALOG USING 'MINBE' 'MARC' .
PERFORM APPEND_CATALOG USING 'EISBE' 'MARC' .

PERFORM APPEND_CATALOG USING 'VERPR' 'MBEW' .
PERFORM APPEND_CATALOG USING 'STPRS' 'MBEW' .

PERFORM APPEND_CATALOG USING 'MEINS' 'MARA' . "<-------- Unit
PERFORM APPEND_CATALOG USING 'WAERS' 'T001' .  "<-------- Currency

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       FORM append_catalog                                           *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       ........                                                      *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*  -->  VALUE(P_FNAME)                                                *
*  -->  VALUE(P_TNAME)                                                *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM APPEND_CATALOG USING VALUE(P_FNAME)
                          VALUE(P_TNAME).

  DATA : V_FCAT TYPE LVC_S_FCAT.
  V_FCAT-FIELDNAME     = P_FNAME.
  V_FCAT-REF_FIELDNAME = P_FNAME.
  V_FCAT-REF_TABLE     = P_TNAME.
*  v_fcat-tabname = 'ITAB'.

  CASE P_FNAME.

    WHEN 'EISBE' OR 'MINBE'.
      V_FCAT-QFIELDNAME    = 'MEINS'.

    WHEN 'VERPR' OR 'STPRS'.
      V_FCAT-CFIELDNAME = 'WAERS'.

  ENDCASE.


  APPEND V_FCAT TO GI_FIELDCAT.
ENDFORM.                    "APPEND_CATALOG

What if i dont have fields waers,meins ?

[former_member125661]

I think I was doing the right thing. The issue was another field that I had used which was a ratio of quantity field/quantity field and I was not refering it correctly.

Hi

U should consider if you output table has amount or quantity field, u should add the reference fields for currency and unit.
