Unicode Compliance

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on conversion of the programs from non Unicode to Unicode.

I am getting the error at the statement of

TRANSLATE KNA1 TO UPPER CASE.

I know that if I write field by filed like TRANSLATE KNA1-KUNNR TO UPPER CASE. the error wont appear.Is there any simple method rather than doing field by field method. Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ameer.

1) DECLARE A TABLE with char data type only as -

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

p_char(150) type c,

end of itab. "length of p_char = sum of field lengths of KNA1 (which u require to transalate)..

2) fetch database valuse into this p_char string.

3) then u can translate p_char to upper case.

4) then use offset to move the corresponding fields to ur itab. like -

itab-kunnr = p_char+0(10).

itab-field2 = p_char+10(5).

modify itab index sy-tabix.

Hello Ameer

Here is possible solution for your problem. You cannot skip the field-by-field step because you will get an error when translating fields of type 'P'.

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report  ZUS_SDN_UC_TRANSLATE

REPORT  zus_sdn_uc_translate.


TYPE-POOLS: abap.


DATA:
  go_struct      TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
  gs_comp        TYPE abap_compdescr,
  gt_kna1        TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF kna1.



FIELD-SYMBOLS:
  <gd_fld>       TYPE ANY,
  <gs_kna1>      TYPE kna1.


START-OF-SELECTION.

  SELECT * FROM  kna1 INTO TABLE gt_kna1.



  go_struct ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_name( 'KNA1' ).




  LOOP AT gt_kna1 ASSIGNING <gs_kna1>.

    LOOP AT go_struct->components INTO gs_comp
            WHERE ( type_kind NE 'P' ). " exclude non-Charlike
      ASSIGN COMPONENT gs_comp-name OF STRUCTURE <gs_kna1>
                                    TO <gd_fld>.

      TRANSLATE <gd_fld> TO UPPER CASE.
    ENDLOOP.


  ENDLOOP.


END-OF-SELECTION.

hi all,

the solution which is given is good..

but we need to move the nono-character fileds also.

so how can they be excluded as shoen in the sample code.
