Type corresponding to UNIT in ABAP program

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have a field in table MSEG called meins and its datatype is UNIT and length is 3.Can you please suggest how should be type declaration corresponding to UNIT length 3 in ABAP program.I am facing problem because i have declared a constant of type string length 3 and when i am trying to move data from that constant to IDOC segment feild (MEINS having dataelement as MEINS, i.e. type UNIT 3). It is giving some numeric convertion exception.

Thanks

check the domain for UNIT and use the same.

You can declare a constant of type unit as well

Data X type unit.

OR

data x type meins.

u can either use the data element used in the field of the table or the table field ref for declaring ur data type/const.

constants: gc_meins type MEINS value '<>'.

or

constants: gc_meins type MSEG-MEINS value '<>'.

Hi,

Check what is the data type of the IDoc field to which you are moving the data to and declare it as the same.

If it is character, consider unpack statment before moving it.

Hi,

Use a variable of type 'MEINS'.
