Non-character-type structure need to be written in ASCI File in Unicode sys

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to write a structure into a ASCI file iapplication server.
My code is as follows.
data : ls_header type BBP_PDS_CTR_HEADER_D ,
       lv_filename TYPE rlgrap-filename VALUE '/interface/AEE/IN/kalandi'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
   I_OBJECT_ID               = '4000000196'
IMPORTING
   E_HEADER                  = ls_header.
open dataset lv_filename for output in text mode encoding default .
if sy-subrc = 0.
transfer ls_header to lv_filename.
close dataset lv_filename.
endif.
but it ives a dump .
Error is :
    "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
"BBP_PDS_CTR_HEADER_D". 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.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Points will be awared for appropriate Answers.

Hi,
I think here ls_header and lv_filename are not compatible to transfer the data.

    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "ZSDR0009" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
How to correct the error
    Use only convertible operands "dst" and "src" for the statement
       "MOVE src TO dst"
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:

In 6.0 get error "END_OF_RECORD" must be a character-type data object .....

Hi All,
following piece of code was working fine in 4.6 C   but in ECC 6.0 I get the following error:
"   "END_OF_RECORD" must be a character-type data object (data type C, N,D, T or STRING) . "
I tried type-casting with field symbols but still not able to remove the error. Cannot convert end_of_record directly to type C as it may hamper the functionality. Plz advice how to remove the error without converting type x to type C

Needed some detailed explanation for following points -- In UNICODE

Hi all
The following rules apply for converting a structure into a single field and vice versa:
1. If a structure is purely character-type, it is treated like a C field during conversion.
2. If the single field is of type C, but only part of the structure is character-type, conversion is only possible if the structure begins with a character-type structure and if this structure is at least as long as the single field. Conversion now takes place between the first character-type group of the structure and the single field. If the structure is the target field, the character type sections of the remainder are filled with blanks, and all other components are filled with the type-adequate initial value.
3. Conversion is not permitted if the structure is not purely character-type and if the single field is not of type C.
hi anybody can provide an explanation with examples
Thanks in advance.

The data layout of structures is relevant to UP checks with regard to the reliability of assignments and comparisons, for example. This data layout is represented in the Unicode fragment view. The fragment view breaks down the structure into alignment gaps, in byte and character-type areas, and all other types such as P, I, F, strings, references or internal tables.
Juxtaposed character-type components of a structure except strings are internally combined into a group if no alignment gaps exist between these components. All possible alignment requirements for characters are considered. Juxtaposed byte type components are grouped together in the same way.
Example
BEGIN OF struc,
a(2) TYPE C,
b(4) TYPE N,
c    TYPE D,
d    TYPE T,
e    TYPE F,
f(2) TYPE X,
g(4) TYPE X,
h(8) TYPE C,
i(8) TYPE C,
END OF struc.
Fragment 1: a, b, c, d
Fragment 2: Alignment gap between d and e
Fragment 3: e
Fragment 4: f, g
Fragment 5: Alignment gap between g and h
Fragment 6: h, i

My sender and the receiver message types structures are same.do I need to m

Hi all,
My sender and the receiver message types structures are same.do I need to mapping in this case.
If it is not required .Let me know in detail,How to proceed.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

Hi,
If is just to pass the message (as the sender source is the same as the receiver source),
first you should have the Message Interface of you message
then you should configure the Receiver determination, as the sender interface use your message interface and in the interface determination you can use the same message interface (same name). You dont have to add any mapping, just let empty and save. Just use one message interface for sender a receive.
Any questins let me know.

How to convert strings into character type?

I have created a function module which will display the attributes of the fields of the structure/table by using "DESCRIBE FIELD" command. The problem is that it supports only character-type data objects and the program goes into dump
if the structure contain any string type.

Please have a look at class CL_ABAP_DATADESCR. Using this instances of this class should provide all information needed...

Unicode - "DMBTR" must be a character-type field (data type C,N,D or T)

Greetings Experts!
I am trying to convert legacy code to Unicode for a current ERP6.0 reinstallation and have encountered the syntax error "DMBTR" must be a character-type field (data type C,N,D or T)
The field is part of a structure and the fields attributes are as follows:
COMPONENT = DMBTR
COMPONENT TYPE = DMBTR
DATA TYPE = CURR
LENGTH = 13
DECIMALS = 2
DESCRIPTION = Amount in Local Currency
The code in question is as follows:-
macro Move_Zoned.
Converts a numeric variable to zoned format and moves it to a
target variable.

Is there a solution to get past this syntax error as I would rather not change the datatype of the field in the structure.

Hi Prabhu0505,
You may enclose the string with ' ' in SQL task if you use SQL command, then you need to adjust your delimeter to avoid wrong interepretation. I cannot say how you can fix the problem, but I remember there was more ' such as '''6050''' and so on, please find out correct SQL expression in an eclosed string.
This is one of thing I remember, I used ADO connection in SQL script task in SSIS and there were lots of SQL in command, the ' quatation is tricky one.

An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ','

I am getting the error message, "An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ',' " when running an ssrs 2008 r2 report.
The sql embedded in the dataset is:
IF @reportID <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT 'Students report 1' AS selectRptName, 1 AS rptNumValue
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 2', 2
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 3', 3
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 4', 4
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 5', 5
ORDER BY selectRptName
END
The sql runs fine in managment studio when I declare @reportID.
The sql runs fine with I comment out 'IF @reportID <> 0'.
The @reportID is a parmeter value that is passed to the applicable dataset.
The @reportID can have more than one value.
Thus can you show me sql and/or tell me what I need to do to solve the issue for me?

Hi wendy,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it when I select more than one values in the @reportID parameter drop-down list. As per my understanding, it seems that you are trying to filter the dataset with the @reportID parameter. When it
doesn’t contain value ‘0’, the dataset returns values. Otherwise, no value is returned in the dataset.
If in this scenario, we can achieve this requirement with filters in the dataset. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Modify the dataset with the below query:
SELECT 'Students report 1' AS selectRptName, 1 AS rptNumValue
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 2', 2
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 3', 3
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 4', 4
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 5', 5
ORDER BY selectRptName
Click the Filters in the left pane of Dataset Properties dialog box.
Add a filter as below:
Expression: =INSTR(JOIN(Parameters!reportID.Value,","),"0")>0
Type: Boolean
Operator: =
Value: false
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Mayuri@dpka, you have syntax errors in your solution. If you're casting as varchar, then your syntax should read '1' instead of 1. Also at the end, it should be '0' instead of 0.
Mayuri,
To use your syntax, try this:
IFNULL(CASE WHEN EDM_TRD_IR_LEG.LEG_ID=1 THEN CAST(EDM_TRD_IR_LEG.PAY_RECV_IND AS INTEGER) ELSE 0 END, 0)
...if you need the result as a numeric for aggregation purposes...

How to use Types structure in smartform layout

Hi Experts,
i have a requirement in smartforms. i have a z-structure having some fields. those fields
should be in the smartform output when we run the print program. This is working fine.
But i need to add 2 more fields to the existing z-structure. For this, i created a types
structure in the print program and added the 2 new fields and created internal tables from
that structure.
My question is how to pass this types strucure to the smartform layout. i tried to add the
structure in the tables option of the form interface.
I get the error "Form Interface - Only table types may be used as the reference type for a table parameter".
i also tried to declare the types structure. Please advise.

Hi,
you create structure in se11 and select structure radio button.
In the smart form give like as
Form interface---->tables (tab)
parameter name ---I_FINAL(inernal table)
type assignment---LIKE
Associated type---ZXXXXX (structure name)
For declarations of workarea:
Global definitons----->Global data
Variable name----WA_FINAL
Type assignment---TYPE
Associated type---ZXXXXX
you declared as of above
I hope it will helpful you

Function module to convert character type to required data type

Hi,
Is there a function module which can convert data in character type to any other required data type?
Like i have a date 12.2.2008 and it is stored as character now i want to convert it into type d.
so that when i use
Describe field <field_name> type <type>.
statement afterwards then it gives me D not C as its data type.
The requirement does'nt stick to conversion of just one data type.I need an FM which can convert data in character type to any data type.
Hope you understood the problem.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Use the code.
data : date like sy-datum.
call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
exporting
    date_external                  = '01.01.2008'
IMPORTING
   DATE_INTERNAL                  = date
EXCEPTIONS
   DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID       = 1
   OTHERS                         = 2
if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
