Unicode error: char- TYPE c VALUE '-',

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am currently working on an upgrade project and found the following syntax error in the below statements

char- TYPE c VALUE '-',

Error: In Unicode programs, the "-" character cannot appear in names, as it does here in the name "CHAR-".

help-mandt(3) VALUE '000',

Error: In Unicode programs, the "-" character cannot appear in names, as it does here in the name "HELP-MANDT".

This error is coming in the new system which is ECC6, whereas the same statement are working fine in the old system which is R/3 4.x

Can anyone please tell me what does this mean and how to make the code Unicode compliant.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Solution is available in the error message itself !!!

I forgot to mention that it is in some standard Include and cannot modify the variable name.

I agree that removing the '-' from the var name would solve the issue, but in case where I cannot take that approach.

If that's in unmodified SAP code, I'd open a message with SAP.

Oh? What is the include?
