Unicode - error - how to replace? *need help*

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a report that I have to migrate into an unicode-system and there are some errors. With one of these errors I have aproblem because I don't know how to solve the problem and how to replace the logic so that is unicode-compatible.

Here is the form-routine, that has the error:

FORM init_packed_fields CHANGING cp_str TYPE zstr_test_bapi.

  TYPE-POOLS: sydes.

  CONSTANTS: co_hex_20   TYPE x VALUE '20'.
  DATA: lt_nametab              TYPE sydes_desc.

                           WHERE type = 'P'.
    l_tabix = lwa_nametab_type-l_type-idx_name.
    READ TABLE lt_nametab-names INTO lwa_nametab_name
               INDEX l_tabix.
    SHIFT lwa_nametab_name-l_name.
    CONCATENATE 'cp_str'
                '-'
                lwa_nametab_name-l_name
                INTO l_fieldname.
    ASSIGN (l_fieldname) TO <f1>.
    IF <f1> CO co_hex_20.                      " <--- here is the error
      CLEAR <f1>.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.

The error message is:

"CO_HEX_20" must be a character-type data object (data type C, N, D, T, or STRING)

It would be really great if you can give me hints and/or solutions. What should the coding do concretly?

Thanks a lot

Kind regards

Hi,

Just change like this.

data : co_hex_20   TYPE string.

Is that then the same logic????

I think '20' in type HEX (X) stands for SPACE, isn't it?

Hi,

Just do this.

data: co_hex_20  TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
