When i execute the code i am getting error message like " WA-PLIFZ" must be a character type data object (C,N,D,T or STRING)

How to resolve this ?

THanks

Hi

When i execute the code i am getting error message like " WA-PLIFZ" must be a character type data object (C,N,D,T or STRING)

I hope it is not of character type you declare it as any one of teh specified data type then you can come across the problem.

Hi,

Only character variables can be concatenated.

So concatenation purpose move ur orginal variable to a char variable and concatenation.

Hi Vijay,

Thanks. Points hasbeen awarded.

[bpawanchand]

HI

If you observe in the table LFM1 it is of type DECIMALs and in the concatenate statement you can only use variables of tyep CNDT that's y it is triggering a error.

Hi,

You can Use "CONCATENATE" on the fileds which are of type (C,N,D,T or STRING).

But PLIFZ is of type Decimal , so you are getting the error.

You can declare a temporary variable

DATA: w_temp type char3.

MOVE wa_plifz to w_temp.

Then use w_temp in CONCATENATE

[Sandeep_Panghal]

Hello,

You are getting this error because you can not directly concatenate "DEC" type fields.

Try this :

data : lv_var(3) type c.

LOOP AT itab INTO wa.

lv_var = wa-plifz.

CONCATENATE wa-lifnr wa-ktokk wa-anred wa-name1

wa-sortl wa-stras wa-pstlz wa-ort01

wa-land1 wa-regio wa-telf1 wa-telfx

wa-stenr wa-akont wa-zterm wa-qsskz

wa-zwels wa-inco1 wa-inco2

lv_var

wa-kraus wa-brsch

INTO it_text-text SEPARATED BY ';'.

APPEND it_text.

CLEAR it_text.

clear lv_var.

ENDLOOP.

Hi,

We need to make 'WA-PLIFZ' as character type , which can be done by moving WA-PLIFZ into a local char varaible.

Chararcter variables can be concatenated,the WA-PLIFZ s DEC so we need to make it CHAR.

So do this way :

DATA: LV-PLIFZ(3) TYPE C.
.....
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
WA-PLIFZ = LV-PLIFZ .
....

ENDLOOP.

hope this helps.

thanx,

dhanashri.

Hi,

U need to use character data type for CONCATENATE.

DATA :WA-PLIFZ(15),

Thanks,

[Former Member]

HI KR,

Please refer this code.

DATA: l_plifz(3) TYPE c.

LOOP AT itab INTO wa.

l_plifz = wa-plifz.

CONCATENATE wa-lifnr wa-ktokk wa-anred wa-name1

wa-sortl wa-stras wa-pstlz wa-ort01

wa-land1 wa-regio wa-telf1 wa-telfx

wa-stenr wa-akont wa-zterm wa-qsskz

wa-zwels wa-inco1 wa-inco2

l_plifz

wa-kraus wa-brsch

INTO it_text-text SEPARATED BY ';'.

APPEND it_text.

CLEAR it_text.

ENDLOOP.
