stru1 and struc2 are not mutually converitible in a unicode program?

hi,

in valuepart1 is type c of length 240.

x_bape_vbap is type bape_vbap. of structure consists of char and interger field .

MOVE x_bape_vbap TO x_extensionin-valuepart1.

while doing this operations this going to dump please find the solution for it

Syntax Error:

Program Z_xxxxxxxxxxx 617

"X_EXTENSIONIN-VALUEPART1" and "X_BAPE_VBAP" are not mutually

convertible in a Unicode program.

Program Z_xxxxxxxxxxx 661

Hi Shabeer,

In Unicode System (US) you can not simply move one structure to a string. That's because the types are treated differently: Character types are: C, N, D, T, STRING and character type structures. All others are called byte-types (F, P, X and XSTRING). A structure in US is divided into fragments, i.e. after any change of Character-type to byte-type and vice versa and between byte-types there is a gap (filler). Let me show you a small example between a NUS (non-unicode system) and US of a structure (there is no difference if the structure is nested):

DATA: BEGIN OF STRUC, 
             a(1) TYPE X, 
            BEGIN OF SUB_STRUC, 
               b(1) TYPE X, 
               c(6) TYPE C, 
               date  TYPE D, 
            END OF SUB_STRUC, 
            d    TYPE I, 
         END OF STRUC.

NUS |a|b|c     |date      |d   |

NU  |a|Filler|b|Filler|c     |date      |Filler|d   |

In this example a is a fragment, b is a fragment, c and date is a fragment and d is a fragment.

It's easy to realize that the structure of NUS and US have a different length! And therefore the System yells and dumps in your case.

Your solution: You have to seperate your MOVE statements.

Hi,

Instead of

MOVE x_bape_vbap TO x_extensionin-valuepart1.

you have to use the following code.

field-symbols: <X_VBAP> type x,

<X_EXTN> type x.

assign x_bape_vbap to <X_VBAP> casting.

assign x_extensionin-valuepart1 to <X_EXTN> casting.

<X_EXTN> = <X_VBAP>.

Cheers!
