Cast Char20 to Char80

[alberto_colonna]

Hello,

I have to variables (The first of the type char80 and the other char20).

Now I want to assign the value of the variable (char20) to the variable (char80).

I always get the error message, that the types are not compatible.

Is it possible to cast from char20 to char80?

Best regards & thanks in advance

Alberto

hi Alberto,

how are the variables defined? If they are :

var20 TYPE CHAR20

and

var80 TYPE CHAR80

than var80 = var20 should work without problems.

probably you can copy your code here

Hi,

You can use the Type casting here, but why don;t you write like this

Move CAHR1 to CHAR2+0(20).

Hi Alberto,

you wrote "assign".

So you'd like to assign field symbols like this?

field-symbols: <f1> type char20,
               <f2> type char80.

assign <f2> to <f1> casting.

Then you need to use the keyword casting to cast the types.

Best regards
