problem with syntaxes and structures in unicode

[Former Member]

1. i have a problem with syntax

this is old syntaxes

TRANSLATE c ...FROM CODE PAGE g1 ... TO CODE PAGE g2

new systems should use this class instead of above

• CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE

it reads data from a container and converts it to the system format.

my old syntax is TRANSLATE header-id FROM CODE PAGE file_tab-codepage.

i need to change to new one by using above class how to do it

2. I have a structure are_buffer and i am working on upgrade of a old report , i have used a sap predefined structure callled arc_buffer from se11, now when i am using offset in one of the perform statement like

PERFORM read_file USING handle_tab_wa-offset record_len

CHANGING arc_buffer(record_len)

error_handling

p_message.

but the system throws a error called ''the structure arc_buffer(record_length) does not start with character-type field''.

i cannot change the structure becoz its sap standard structure .

how to get out of this.
