Runtime error when Transfering data from data object to a file

Question

Hi everybody,
I'm having a problem when I transfer data from data object to file. The codes like following :
data : full_path(128).
OPEN DATASET full_path FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
and transfer data from flat structure to this file full_path
  move:    tab                 to c_output-tab_5,
              tab                 to c_output-tab_4,
              tab                 to c_output-tab_3.
  transfer c_output to full_path.      // Error Line
The detail error like the following:
For the statement
   "TRANSFER f TO ..."
only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
"f".
In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "u". The
current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
regarded as non-character-type.
transfer c_output to full_path. " Line error
Please help me to fix this issue !
Thank you in advance !

Answer 1

Hi Mickey,
Thanks for your answer,
I found out that the structure c_output have the field with data type X. I know that the cause of the issue.
      begin of c_output,
         vbeln(10),
         tab_5 like tab,
         posnr(6),
         tab_4 like tab,
         topmat(18),
         tab_3 like tab,
     end  of c_output.
data : tab type X value 9.
Could you tell me how to fix it ? What I have to do in this situation ?
Thank you very much !
