Shouldn't the variable you are "varying" be the same length / type as the "from" and "to" i.e. more like (from SAP help):

DATA: BEGIN OF TEXT,
        WORD1(4) VALUE 'This',
        WORD2(4) VALUE 'is',
        WORD3(4) VALUE 'a',
        WORD4(4) VALUE 'loop',
      END OF TEXT.

DATA: STRING1(4), STRING2(4).

DO 4 TIMES VARYING STRING1 FROM TEXT-WORD1 NEXT TEXT-WORD2.
  WRITE STRING1.
  IF STRING1 = 'is'.
    STRING1 = 'was'.
  ENDIF.
ENDDO.

In unicode / ECC6 you cannot move a structured data object into a flat field.

Your VGARTP is structured - it is defined with multiple fields.

You VGARTI fields ar flat - CHAR(6).

Define VGARTP as VGARTP(6) type C, or use a different variable of CHAR(6) as the varying field in the loop.

Thank u guys for replying so sooon...........

I have declared a string variable above the do.......varying........ statement..

and then used it in do statement and again assign the content of the string

back to the varying element........ that solved the problemm............

Once again thanx a lot
