Authorization object - dump on field type due to character

[Former Member]

Hi all,

As i have created an Authorization object

AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'YINF_BYTE'

ID 'Y_BYTE_CON' FIELD lv_byte_count.

While creating the authorization field ('Y_BYTE_CON' ), the data type I defined is ABAP_MSIZE.Similarly the type of the variable('LV_BYTE_COUNT) i am passing to the authorization object

is of the same type (i.e.,ABAP_MSIZE).

I am getting an syntax error 'LV_BYTE_COUNT must be a Character type field',Please help me out in resolving this.

Thanks in advance,

Ram

Hi ramprasad,

You need to use the data type as ABAPTYPE. As abaptype is a charector data type.

Hi Chinmaya,

Which data type i need to go with ABAPTYPE..? is it the variable i am passing to the authorization object or the authorization field i need to change as ABAPTYPE..?

For both the fields you need to have them declared either as abaptype or simply as char.
