How to update custom field in ANLU for Non-unicode system via extension structure?

Hi ABAP experts

How to update asset custom fields (in table ANLU) non-unicode system.

If I use the standard method:

LS_BAPI_TE_ANLU-Z_FIELD2 = '123'.<br>LS_BAPI_TE_ANLU-Z_FIELD5 = 'ABC'.
LS_EXTENSIONIN = LS_BAPI_TE_ANLU.
APPEND LS_EXTENSIONIN TO LT_EXTENSIONIN.

it returns the error "LS_EXTENSIONIN and LS_BAPI_TE_ANLU are not mutually convertible. In Unicode programs, S_EXTENSIONIN must have the same structure layout as BAPI_TE_ANLU, independent of the length of a Unicode character."

Is it possible to update one field, out of many, another method?

And, how do you set data if a field crosses between valueparts? (i.e. if a field in position 230 has a length of 50)?

I can't see in your post but you have probably made BAPI_TE_ANLU not flat character-like.

These kind of appends are designed to have only character fields in the structure, otherwise there are limitations.

Anyway, you can search CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES=>FILL_CONTAINER_C in the forum.

Thanks sandrarossi, at least I am past the unicode issue by using the ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES class.

One thing I cant figure out is how the measure the size of the structure of the "+30" factor.

If incorrect, I get the error "Use the table enhancement BAPI_TE_ANLU, which I am specifying:

DATA: wa_bapi type BAPI_TE_ANLU.
DATA: lt_EXTENSIONIN type table of BAPIPAREX.
DATA: wa_EXTENSIONIN type BAPIPAREX.

wa_bapi-ZZLONGITUDE = '12.345.
wa_bapi-ZZBUILDING = '1 Main Street'.
lt_EXTENSIONIN2-STRUCTURE = 'BAPI_TE_ANLU'.
CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c
EXPORTING
im_value = wa_bapi
IMPORTING
ex_container = wa_EXTENSIONIN+30
EXCEPTIONS
illegal_parameter_type = 1
OTHERS = 2.
APPEND wa_EXTENSIONIN TO lt_EXTENSIONIN2.

Any ideas?

(Please ignore the use of lt_EXTENSION2. Been corrected already)

Thanks sandrarossi , the fill_container_c method worked like a charm.
For anybody else who needs the info

           wa_bapi-ZZBUILDING = wa_iasset-Z3PBUILDING.
wa_bapi-ZZPROJ_ID = wa_iasset-PSPID.

           wa_EXTENSIONIN-STRUCTURE = 'BAPI_TE_ANLU'.
CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c
EXPORTING
im_value = wa_bapi
IMPORTING
ex_container = wa_EXTENSIONIN+30
EXCEPTIONS
illegal_parameter_type = 1
OTHERS = 2.
           APPEND wa_EXTENSIONIN TO lt_EXTENSIONIN2.

Hi oppenheim_jm,

I'm trying to do the same thing as you bu I cant get through the BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE.

I'm doing it this way:          

 REFRESH lt_extensionin.
                CLEAR ls_anlu.
                ls_anlu-assetmaino = wa_results_stock-refid+4(12).
                ls_anlu-comp_code = wa_results_stock-refid(4).
                ls_anlu-zzenv_sf = 'X'.
                MOVE 'BAPI_TE_ANLU' TO ls_extensionin-structure.

                CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c
                  EXPORTING
                    im_value               = ls_anlu
                  IMPORTING
                    ex_container           = ls_extensionin+30
                  EXCEPTIONS
                    illegal_parameter_type = 1
                    OTHERS                 = 2.

                APPEND ls_extensionin TO lt_extensionin.
 CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE'
                  EXPORTING
                    companycode = '1000'
                    asset       = ls_anlu-assetmaino

                  IMPORTING
                    return      = lt_return
                  TABLES
                    extensionin = lt_extensionin.

                IF lt_return[] IS INITIAL.
                  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
                    EXPORTING
                      wait = 'X'.

                ELSE.
                  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK'.

                ENDIF.

¿Am I missing any parameters?

Thank you in advance!

Does your ls_anlu have structure BAPI_TE_ANLU?

Sorry raymond,

I figured out myself after a break 😁.

I totally forgot about EXIT_SAPL1022_001 to update my fields.

Thank you for the post, was so helpful!!!
