ABAP DUMP UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE

[Abapper0114]

Hello experts,

I need your help with this. I'm getting a dump in line 20 with UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE

The P type of length 9 means a compressed number of 17 digits. You must not transfer characters to a structure containing P types.

naaz5elg: FILE(8)
401020: DEALER(6)
120724: DATE(6)
450030570030: BILLING_NO(12),
570030570030: SALES_ORD(12),
100.00S1l: AMOUNT(9) TYPE P DECIMALS 2 ???????????????????
2035: PLANT(4)

Before trying to read "100.00S1l", please first explain what this value means, it's not even a number!!!

You didn't understand what I said: "You must not transfer characters to a structure containing P types."

Also, as I said, you must ask why you obtain this weird format "100.00S1l", what will be transmitted if the number is greater than 999, ask yourself why you define a 17-digits number for only 9 characters available, etc.

@Sandra_Rossi  I already tried removing 'S1L' and tried replacing TYPE P with TYPE STRING and TYPE C but its still returning the same dump.

You would need something like the following because it is telling you the structure has data fields that are not character types.  Either that or read it into a string or a designated character type with sufficient length.

DATA: BEGIN OF I_STATEMENT,
      FILE(8),
      DEALER(6),
      DATE(6),
      BILLING_NO(12),
      SALES_ORD(12),
      AMOUNT(9),
      PLANT(4),
END OF I_STATEMENT.
