unicode error:The structure does not start with a character-type

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am doing UCCHECK for the programs.

And facing an error and not able to solve.

I searched in SDN and also tried my own but no luck.

in one program they written statement as:

TRANSFER ST_XML(L_SIZE) TO FILENAME

the error is The structure "ST_XML(L_SIZE)" does not start with a character-type

the data declarations is as follows.

DATA:     XML        TYPE DCXMLLINES,
               L_SIZE     TYPE I.

DATA: BEGIN OF ST_XML,
           D LIKE LINE OF XML,
        END OF ST_XML.

How i need to correct the statement transfer

Use offset-length on field of structure instead of the structure itself.

Change statement to this:

TRANSFER ST_XML-D(L_SIZE) TO FILENAME.

Hi,

Please check the use of keyword LENGTH along with TRANSFER keyword. Something like this.

TRANSFER ST_XML(L_SIZE) TO FILENAME LENGTH len.

Should help

Cheers,
