Convert type x to C

[Former Member]

I have the following code with unicode error: -

CONSTANTS: C_LEFT_HEX(1) TYPE X VALUE 'AB'.

CONSTANTS: C_RIGHT_HEX(1) TYPE X VALUE 'BB'.

DATA: W_LONGCHAR(9).

CONSTANTS: C_UNKNOWN(7) VALUE 'Unknown'.

CONCATENATE C_LEFT_HEX C_UNKNOWN C_RIGHT_HEX INTO W_LONGCHAR.

How do I fix the error?

Thanks,

Hi Prakash,

CONCATENATE statement requires all components to be of type C. I think you need to change your 2 constants from type X to type C.

I assumed that you are getting syntax error on CONCATENATE statment as you didn't mention any details of the error message.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

Check this code

report  zars no standard page heading
        line-size 170
        line-count 65(4).

data: content    type string ,
      xcontent   type xstring.

data: w_longchar(20).
constants: c_unknown(7) value 'Unknown'.

xcontent = 'AB'.
data: conv   type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = xcontent ).
conv->read( importing data = content ).
concatenate w_longchar content into w_longchar separated by space.

concatenate w_longchar c_unknown into w_longchar separated by space.


xcontent = 'BB'.
conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = xcontent ).
conv->read( importing data = content ).
concatenate w_longchar content into w_longchar separated by space.

write : w_longchar.
break-point.
