Unicode error, Split Variable at HEX 00 into ITAB

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We will be changing our system to a Unicode system next year. As we are modifying existing programs, we are setting the Unicode flag and correcting any errors. In this one particular program I have run across a situation for which I have not been able to find a solution. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

This error occurs when the following code is checked.

HEX must be a character-type data object

data hex type x. "Binary zeros

data: begin of i_apqd occurs 0.

include structure apqd.

data: end of i_apqd.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

field(150),

end of itab.

split i_apqd-vardata+20 at hex into table itab.

This is what i_apqd-vardata+20 looks like in the debugger.

##SAPMF05A0100##BKPF-BLDAT#11072006#BKPF-BLART#KR#BKPF-BUKRS#100#BKPF-budat#11072006

This program is a custom developed utility program to display the contents of a BDC session.

Thanks

try this:

data hex type x value '00'.

field-symbols: <hex> type x,<char> type c.

data: begin of i_apqd occurs 0.

include structure apqd.

data: end of i_apqd.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

field(150),

end of itab.

assign hex to <hex>.

assign <hex> to <char> casting.

split i_apqd-vardata+20 at <char> into table itab.

Thanks Neil,

Your code example worked beautifully.
