  IMPORTING

PACK f TO g.

Places the character field f in packed format in the field g. Reverse of the UNPACK statement.

Example

DATA C_FIELD(4) TYPE C VALUE '0103',

P_FIELD(2) TYPE P.

PACK C_FIELD TO P_FIELD.

C_FIELD: C'0103' --> P_FIELD: P'103C'

Note

The field f can contain up to 16 characters.
