How to map bapimtcs-data to bapimatmra ?

Question

Hello friends,
In order to implement the user exit z_uexit_material_vtl_status mentioned in Note Nr. 623026, I need a function which can convert (or map) bapimtcs-data to bapimatmra. This is necessary beacuse the standart code includes lines which contain syntax errors ("LS_BAPIMARA" and "LS_BAPISTRUCT-DATA" are not mutually convertible in a Unicode program. error) The conversion (mapping) of
bapimatmvk to bapimtcs is necessary, too. Here is the link leading to the problematic user exit. Any useful help would appreciated and rewarded.

Hi,
This MIGHT work, I am doing something similar in one of my user exits:
in your variable declarations put this:
DEFINE move_casting.
  assign &1 to <unicode_x1> casting.
  assign &2 to <unicode_x2> casting.
  move <unicode_x1> to <unicode_x2>.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
And then at the point where you need to convert the data:
move_casting ls_bapimtcs-data ls_bapimatmra
I hope it helps!
