Problem with 'MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT'

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to download data from internal table using this function but i get the following dump: UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHAR

I believe this is because i have a column in my table that's decimals type. All fileds must be c or string types so the function can work successfully?

Here's a sample of my code, what am i doing wrong?

Hi,

WZEIT is of type DEC3. Could you check this field. Move it to character field and try.

Hi Sandeep, thanks for your answer but I've already tried changing the character type to C and it doesn't work!!

I changed the ty_header structure field wzeit to c length 3 and i get the same dump....=|

Could you please paste the short dump details in here?

WHILE sy-subrc EQ 0.

cnt = cnt + 1.

ASSIGN COMPONENT cnt OF STRUCTURE <data_tab_wa> TO <field>.

CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.

READ TABLE fieldnames INDEX cnt ASSIGNING <fieldname>.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

<field> = <fieldname>.

ELSE.

sy-subrc = 0.

*>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WRITE cnt TO <field> LEFT-JUSTIFIED.*

ENDIF.

ENDWHILE.

the dump shows the problem on the bold line.

I know it's because of the "marc-wzeit" character type which is DEC3, but in this case what should I do? Changing the type for 'C' doesn't work.

Shouldn't this function work for all character types?

Thanks

Hi thanks for the help to everyone

I found a solution, I created another internal table with type c fields which is it_saida_aux.

All I had to was to loop the it_saida table (with fields standard table fields type) and move the data to it_saida_aux table.

I just wrote sample program as below, and working fine.

REPORT  YSAT_020210_TEST1.
tables: rlgrap.
PARAMETERS: pathfile like rlgrap-filename.

  data: begin of excel_down_wa,
         col1(8) type c,
         col2(40) type c,
         col3(5) type c,
         col4(10) type c,
         col5(20) type c,
         col6(10) type c,
         col7(10) type c,
         col8(10) type c,
         col9(10) type c,
* begin note 686989
         col10(10) type c,
         col11(10) type c,
* end note 686989
       end of excel_down_wa,
       excel_down like excel_down_wa occurs 0.
