unicode error...

[Former Member]

I am facing an error for the following syntax.

LOOP AT TAB.

REPLACE SINGLE_QUOTE WITH ' ' INTO TAB-DATA.

MODIFY TAB INDEX SY-TABIX.

Endloop.

The error is -

"SINGLE_QUOTE" must be a character-type data object (data type C, N, D,T or STRING). field string).

Single_quote is defined as -

Data : SINGLE_QUOTE(1) TYPE X VALUE '27'.

Tab is defined as -

DATA : BEGIN OF TAB OCCURS 10,

DATA(80) TYPE C,

END OF TAB.

What is the CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=> for above hexadecimal ?

Hi,

You must add the IN BYTE MODE option while using X type field (SINGLE_QUOTE) for REPLACE.

Hope this will help you,

Hi Issa ,

The solution given by you is not working.

[Pawan_Kesari]

define single_quote as

DATA : single_quote(1) TYPE c VALUE '''' .

Hi Pawan ,

Changing defination of the single_quote is not the right solution.

[Pawan_Kesari]

Why SINGLE_QUOTE is defined as X

Data : SINGLE_QUOTE(1) TYPE X VALUE '27'.

See code below..

DATA : i_string TYPE string VALUE 'They say ''Hi''' .
DATA : single_quote(1) TYPE c VALUE '''' .
WRITE / i_string .
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF single_quote in i_string WITH ' '  .
WRITE / i_string .

Hello Narayan,

I find that the X field '27' corresponds to '(' in character mode.

Try like this:

DATA : SINGLE_QUOTE(1) TYPE C VALUE '('.

DATA : BEGIN OF TAB OCCURS 10,
DATA(80) TYPE C,
END OF TAB.

LOOP AT TAB.
REPLACE SINGLE_QUOTE WITH ' ' INTO TAB-DATA.
MODIFY TAB INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDLOOP.

Hope this solves your problem.

BR,

Hi

You can use the method UCCP of the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE to convert hexadecimal to character type .

Just before using the replace statement,u can call this method and do the conversion.

data: single_quote1(1) type c.

CALL METHOD cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>uccp

EXPORTING

uccp = single_quote

receiving

char = single_quote1

Use single_quote1 further for the statements which uses the same variable.

Hope this helps.

Hi Narayan....

first declare a variable of type c and then use SCMS_BIN_TO_TEXT function module....

this function module converts Hex value to char value.....

the export parameter should be the hex variable and the import parameter should be the char variable...

i hope it helps...
