hi,

use this way ...

Data : var1 type sy-TABIX value 1.

Hi Prem,

You CANNOT use it like this.

Use SE11 and check TABIX. It is a structure and you are trying to assign a value to a structure, which is not possible in UNICODE environment.

Instead you can use SY-TABIX as avinash has suggested.

Best Regards,

Ram.

Hi Ram,

thats what i need to do... i cannot do it in unicode, but it is possible in 4.6 ..... i am working on an upgrade process from 4.6 to 6.0 and hence require this functionality. what ddo you suggest....

Hi Prem,

As i understand, in Upgrade process, we have an option to modify such errors in programs right

I would suggest you to go a head and modify TABIX to SY-TABIX, to avoid confusion at later point of project. I dont think there is any work around.

yep there is the way of manually doing it... but im developing a prog which does this automatically, and hence need to add this too.... anyways, thanks for the help.
