Problem with the length of the field........

[anupam_srivastava2]

Hi all

I have defined a internal table

TYPES : BEGIN OF DHNS,

RECTYPE(2) TYPE C,

ORDNO(25) TYPE C,

SEQ(3) TYPE C,

INSTYPE(2) TYPE C,

INSTTEXT(255) TYPE C,

END OF DHNS.

DATA: T_DHNS TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DHNS.

DATA: H_DHNS TYPE DHNS.

I am uploading the data into internal table.........

transfer H_DHNS TO FILEPATH length 287.

but when I check the lenght of the H_DHNS it shows 289.....I want it to be 288.......

any suggestion what could be the cause of the problem

Hi All

there is a £ sign in my standard text, when i reading through read_test FN and passing that filed to text file .DAT, its takes a extra character.

How can I resolve this problem

If you don't need it, remove it and perhaps shift the remaining part after that sign to the left.

Hi Anup,

How are you opening the dataset.

Try additions ENCODING DEFAULT,ENCODING UTF-8,ENCODING NON-UNICODE.

OPEN DATASET XXXX FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

this takes the default encoding to that perticular version.

In case of unicode version it takes as UTF-8.

Try these different encodings beore passing the data.

Thank you

hi,

declare a constant variable and assing 288 to variable and use it.

You are right, that character gets written as unicode, so it takes up double space. So it's either don't use it or reserve extra space for it.
