Error terminating while building dynamic field catalog

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am getting a error message when building dynamic field catalog for ALV

I am using the syntax below:

DATA :fs_wt_alv_table TYPE REF TO data.

CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table

EXPORTING it_fieldcatalog = wt_fieldcat

IMPORTING ep_table = fs_wt_alv_table.

The error pop up teriminating the program says like

"In unicode programs, the "=" character cannot appe

11 M=-1EBELNP(000016)

wt_fieldcat contains below values in its structure:

COL-POS FIELDNAME TABNAME

0 TYPE WT_ALV

1 GMID WT_ALV

2 IDNLF WT_ALV

3 TXZ01 WT_ALV

4 MEINS WT_ALV

5 BSTMI WT_ALV

6 BSTRF WT_ALV

7 M=-1EBELNP WT_ALV

8 M=-1MENGE WT_ALV

9 M=-1EINDT WT_ALV

10 M=-1ETENS WT_ALV

11 M=-1EINDT2 WT_ALV

12 M=-1ETENS2 WT_ALV

13 M=-1EINDT3 WT_ALV

14 M=0EBELNP WT_ALV

15 M=0MENGE WT_ALV

16 M=0EINDT WT_ALV

17 M=0ETENS WT_ALV

18 M=0EINDT2 WT_ALV

....

...

Just read the error message:"In Unicode programs, the "=" character cannot appear in names"

You cannot have '=' in you dynamic column names.

Try declaring this in your program and you'll get the same error

data: M=0EINDT2 type i.

No, This is how the table is built dynamically.

I have a similar version of the program in r/3 4.7 system. Even theer the field catalog is built in this way.The code works fine.

May be I have missed some checks or something else around the code.

[former_member182670]

Is this 4.7 also Unicode?

[Former Member]

yes

[former_member182670]

So does the old report have Unicode checks active in the properties?

There is now way you can include special characters like '=' in Unicode enabled reports so you'll have to change the logic for fieldname generation.

[Former Member]

Yes. ECC 6 is unicode check system , previous one was not.

So , I have to take some other new method of doing it.

thanks.

Alternatively, turn OFF the unicode check in attributes for this one program.

Because your any alv column name contain "=" character.

in the fieldcatalog's field names doesnt contain any special character.

COL-POS FIELDNAME TABNAME

7 M=-1EBELNP WT_ALV

yours fieldname is M=-1EBELNP

fieldname doesnt contain any special character , for example as above "=".
