PF-Status

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus!

I created an ALV report and copied the PF status from another program onto this one . Everything seems to be working fine except that when I click on print preview or print button it runs into runtime error.

Following is the error message.

Short text

The current statement requires a character-type data object.

What happened?

Error in the ABAP Application Program

The current ABAP program "SAPLKKBL" had to be terminated because it has

come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.

Error analysis

At the statment

"STRLEN( obj )..."

, only character-type data objects are supported at the argument

position "obj".

In this particular case, the operand "obj" has the non-charcter-type type

"P".

Trigger Location of Runtime Error

Program SAPLKKBL

Include LKKBLF99

Row 3,948

Module type (FORM)

Module Name GEN_FIELD_OUT2

Thanks.

Could anyone please suggest as to why this si happening.

The error is pretty self-explanatory, isn't it? You require a character (type c) field and instead you have a packed decimals (P) data type.

Yes , tahts right . I did read that but where exactly does that error coem from , Its not in the output , its only when I click on a few tabs on the toolbar only , like print preview or exporting to local file only .

Sorry, no clue without seeing the field catalog, the gui, any PBO/PAI modules and the internal table description.
