Unicode type incompatible

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing a problem in unicode. Could you please help me on that. I will appreciate your help. I am pretty new to Unicode ABAP.

I have a strcuture as follows :

DATA: BEGIN OF special_dates,

dar LIKE p0041-dar01,

dat LIKE p0041-dat01,

END OF special_dates.

I am using this structure in the program as follows:

DO 12 TIMES VARYING special_dates

FROM special_dates-dar01

NEXT special_dates-dat01.

I am getting error as follows:

"P0041-DAR01" and "SPECIAL_DATES" are type-incompatible.

I am also getting the following error.

In Unicode programs, the "-" character cannot appear in names, as it

does here in the name "PNP-SW-FOUND".

I will be greatful for your help and time.

Thanks-a-lot.

Raj.

You should do...

DO 12 TIMES VARYING special_dates-dar01

or

DO 12 TIMES VARYING special_dates-dat01

Hi Alvaro,

I tried to do like that, but it gave another error :

Erroe: FROM, NEXT expected.

Please verify that.

Thanks however.

the complaint about the '-' will be resolved if you change sw-found in the data or type declaration to sw_found.

Hi Raj

DO like this.

DO 12 TIMES VARYING special_dates-DAR FROM P0041-DAR01 NEXT P0041-DAR02

VARYING special_dates-DAT FROM P0041-DAT01

NEXT P0041-DAT02.

enddo.

Let me know if you need anything.
