Handling Extension Structure using BAPI in Unicode environment

Question

Hi,
I am using the BAPI BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CREATE_SLS  to create Outbound Delivery.
We have a nested include structure in LIPS which has mixed field type.
Since BAPIPAREX is used to pass the value for Extension fileds, I have problem with the Unicode environment. Packed fields are filled with '#''s, Can someone who come cross similar issue could help me please.

Answer 1

In BAPI the structure I want to populate : EXTENSION_IN
The custom append structure is in: LIPS
Append structure name: OILLIPS
(Below are Some fields in structure)

I tried using field-symbols and casting and also CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c. Both are giving only hexadecimal values and then when tired to assign this hexadecimals values to character field i am getting "#"'s.
This morning, when I tired by defining a structure with field correspond to this append structure as character field with length corresponding to each field and then assign individual field one by one it takes the value. There should be an efficient way of handling this scenario.
