Offset and length not equal

[Former Member]

Hi

I am doing an upgrade and i have a program which have a text element TEXT-001 = -

---

this text element has 132 length

my programm have a sysntax error at the 2 line below

MOVE TEXT-001 (18) to ITAB-TEXT.

ZDEFINE TEXT-001(43). "

Note: ZDEFINE is a define .. enddefine

i have correct it by modification below

DATA: W_TEXT(132) TYPE C.

MOVE text-001 TO W_text.

MOVE W_text(18) to ITAB-TEXT.

ZDEFINE W_text(43). "

i have use the variable declare instead of text element directly

hi,

check out in this way ....

MOVE W_text+0(18) to ITAB-TEXT.

ZDEFINE W_text+0(43). "

I don't see any problem with the code

DATA: W_TEXT(132) TYPE C.

MOVE text-001 TO W_text.

MOVE W_text(18) to ITAB-TEXT.

ZDEFINE W_text(43). "

I've proved this code and no problems appears. If the problem is with zdefine, perhaps you can create a new 43 character length variable, w_text2, and made and additional movement

MOVE W_text(18) to W_text2.

ZDEFINE W_text2. "

Nevertheless, I think this code would works with no changes
