Runtime Error UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm getting ABAP Dump

UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE

TRANSLATE <fs_fldval> USING ', '.

Declaration:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_fldval>.

Error analysis

Only character-type data objects are supported at the argument

position "<FS_FLDVAL>" for the statement

  "TRANSLATE".

In this case, the operand "<FS_FLDVAL>" has the non-character-type "P". The

current program is flagged as a Unicode program. In the Unicode context,

type X fields are seen as non-character-type, as are structures that

contain non-character-type components.

I searched in the Forum, but didn't find any relevant thread for TRANSLATE statement error.

Please advise.

Thanks & Regards,
Sowmya

Hi Sowmya Sreeram

If You try like this you will get dump

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_fldval> TYPE ANY.

DATA : var TYPE p.

var = '88888'.

ASSIGN var TO <fs_fldval>.

TRANSLATE <fs_fldval> USING ','.

WRITE : / <fs_fldval>.

Try like this

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_fldval> TYPE ANY.

DATA : var TYPE string.

var = '88888'.

ASSIGN var TO <fs_fldval>.

TRANSLATE <fs_fldval> USING ','.

WRITE : / <fs_fldval>.
