Error in UCCHEK

Hi all,

I get a error while running UCCHECK for a custom program.

The error is : A internal table must have character-like row type (C,N,D,T, or STRING).

The internal table is declared of type BAPI1003_ALLOC_VALUES_NUM.The BAPI has two fields of type

FLTP.

The error is thrown in search statement.

Eg : DATA: alloc_valnum LIKE BAPI1003_ALLOC_VALUES_NUM

OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

search alloc_valnum FOR 'M023_X_BC000021'.

Unicode conversion is done in ECC 6.0.

Any pointers or OSS notes to resolve the error would be of great help.

Regards,

Subasree

Hi,

You will have to change the internal table declaration.

types : begin of t_bapi,

CHARACT	ATNAM(30) type c,
VALUE_FROM(22) type c,  
VALUE_TO(22) type c, 
VALUE_RELATION(1) type c, 
.....


data: itab type standard table of t_bapi.

Best regards,

Prashant

Hello Subasree

You will find the answer to your question in the SAP online documenation:

[ABAP and Unicode: Processing Strings|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/c55479b3dc11d5993800508b6b8b11/content.htm]

SEARCH:

"The arguments of these instructions must be single fields of type C, N, D, T or STRING or structures of character-type only. There is a syntax or runtime error if arguments of a different type are passed. A subset of this function is provided with the addition IN BYTE MODE for processing byte strings u2013 that is, operands of type X or XSTRING. A statement such as CONCATENATE a x b INTO c is thus no longer possible when a,b, and c are all character-type, but x is of type X."

Thus, you need to define your SEARCH statement differently, e.g.:


DATA: lt_alloc_valnum  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF BAPI1003_ALLOC_VALUES_NUM,
          ls_alloc              TYPE BAPI1003_ALLOC_VALUES_NUM.
"OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.  <<< no header lines anymore !!!!

DATA: ld_datatype(1)  TYPE c.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:
  <ld_fld>   TYPE ANY.

DO.
  ASSIGN COMPONENT syst-index OF structure ls_alloc TO <ld_fld>.
  IF ( syst-subrc NE 0 ).
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.

  DESCRIBE FIELD <ld_fld>  TYPE ld_datatype.
  IF ( condition: datatype for SEARCH allowed ).
    SEARCH <ld_fld> FOR 'M023_X_BC000021'. 
  ENDIF.
ENDDO.
