syntax error regarding unicode

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Iam facing a problem .

Iam copying a program from 4.7 to ECC 6.0.

now in that program i have following line of code.

code :

data :

w_pwd type i.

describe field ztest-pwd length w_pwd.

when iam executing the program its showing me an error message saying that '" In unicode DESCRIBE LENGTH can only be used with the IN BYTE MODE or in CHARECTER MODE addition.

how can i correct this syntax.

DESCRIBE FIELD ZTEST-PWD LENGTH W_PWD IN CHARACTER MODE.

hi,

since ecc 6.0 is unicode compatible there are some changes in syntaxes.

you have to give in addition IN BYTE MODE or in CHARECTER MODE .

or press f1 on describe to know more.

Use IN BYTE MODE addition

[Former Member]

IN CHARACTER MODE can only be used if the field is of character type. For your case please use IN BYTE MODE addition.

Hi priyanka ,

Try this

DESCRIBE FIELD ZTEST-PWD LENGTH W_PWD IN CHARACTER MODE.

THE DESCRIBE LENGTH can only be used with the IN BYTE or IN CHARACTER MODE

i.e. describe field e_text length line_length.

would be replaced with

describe field e_text length line_length IN CHARACTER MODE
