Unicode error free MODIFY statement

HI All,
I have midify statement in a loop like this.
loop at itab into wa_itab.
modify itab from wa_itab index tabx.
endloop.
  I am working in ECC 6.0. It is showing unicode error at modify statement. Please suggest me the correct statemnt.ANy extension for modify statemnt..?
Thanks,
kishore

  LOOP AT IT_VBRK.
<b>    CTAB = SY-TABIX.</b>
    LOOP AT IT_T001 WHERE BUKRS = IT_VBRK-BUKRS.
      IF SY-SUBRC  = 0.
        IT_VBRK-BUTXT = IT_T001-BUTXT.
<b>        MODIFY IT_VBRK INDEX CTAB.</b>
        CLEAR CTAB.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
  ENDLOOP.
The problem may be with SY-TABIX, check the above code

  • Error in modify statement

    Hi,
    When i am trying to update a z table by using modify statement, i am getting the following error:

    Please help.

    I am not a developper, so I cannot answer your question about the modify-directly-on-db-issue - but look at the FM BAL_DB_INTERNAL_NO_UPDATE_TASK - as the shorttext says: Application-Log: Database: Internal: Protocolls without Update Task - maybe it has to do with the way this modify is processed?
    Just so. It will not help you - of course you can open a Call with SAP on this special function and see if they come up with an explanation and/or a correction - in the meantime, consider my proposals as possible workarounds.
    Another thought: if you are so interested in that FM, why not post a question in the Abap-performance forum - there's a tough group of guys over there who might be interested to study that FM.

  • TABLE ILLEGAL STATEMENT  error with MODIFY command

    Hi gurus,
    i want you to inform me about table illegal statement error. The error occurs when i use modify as below.
    loop at itab.
       select .......
             where xxx eq itab-xxxx.
           MODIFY itab.
      endselect.
    endloop.
    i know that i have to give the sy-tabix as INDEX parameter to the modify command. but i want to know why i have to do this?
    cause when i debug, i follow the sy-tabix field and it have not a change in select endselect.
    may the reason of the error about cursor in select and cursor effects modify command?
    or why?
    Thx,

    Hello,
    I guess this is because your MODIFY statement is inside the SELECT ... ENDSELECT & not inside the LOOP ... ENDLOOP.
    SAP documentation says:
    Within a LOOP loop, the INDEX addition can be ommitted. In this case the current table line of the LOOP loop is changed.
    You have to change the coding:
    DATA: v_index TYPE i.
    loop at itab.
    v_index = sy-index.
    select .......
    where xxx eq itab-xxxx.
    MODIFY itab INDEX v_index.
    endselect.
    endloop.
    BR,
    Suhas
    PS: The coding practice followed is not very performance oriented as well. May be you should have a look around in some blogs, wikis in SCN & change the code accordingly.

  • SQL Error in the modify statement

    Hi All,
    We are facing an SQL error while uploading an archive file. The error is   
    caused while executing a modify statement which leads to a dump. The       
    text given in the SM21 logs is                                   
    'Database error -1 with SEL access to table SMMW_MCD_DMY_AVE'              
    The dump generated in ST22 says DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR
    Database error text........: "[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Session Provider:
    Connection has been closed by peer [xFFFFFFFF]. "
    Any pointers to figure out how to resolve this could be really helpful.
    Regards,
    Liji

    Hi,
    This sounds like internal message 0000062076 2010  
    which I'm currently working on.
    If it is this BUZ-upload problem: ask your system responsible to set the instance profile parameter
    dbs/mss/packet_size=8192
    After the R3-system is restarted, the transaction should work.
    The problem was caused by an UPSERT-command writing a 170 MB BLOB.
    UPSERT means: all values for the row are provided. Try first an UPDATE, if this fails with NOT FOUND insert.
    This UPDATE, IF NOT FOUND INSERT is send as one batch to the database server.
    For SQL Server 9.00, a batch may only
    consist of 64K network packets. The default network packet size is 4K. 4K * 64KB == 256 MB.
    The 170 MB BLOB is sent twice, so we don't fit in the 64K packets.
    This breaks the connection and you get on client side the"Connection has been closed by peer".
    On server side you see (SQL Server error log) "A fatal error occurred while reading the input stream from the network. The session will be terminated."
    If you want to increase the network packet size used by your db connections in the SAP work processes, you can use  the profile parameter
    dbs/mss/packet_size.
    Maximal setting is 32767. In your case I would recommend 8192.
    Best regards,
    Guenther

  • Unicode error in statement Describe Field

    Hi,
    There is a statement in my program which is giving Unicode error.
    DESCRIBE FIELD t_mara-mfrpn LENGTH len.
    Here t_mara is internal table with header line. Unicode error which I am getting is 'In Unicode, Describe Length can only be used in Byte mode or IN....'.
    Kindly let me know how to remove this unicode error without affecting the functionality.
    Regards,
    Rajneesh

    syntax check always finds the error when the addition BYTE or CHARACTER MODE is missing in the statement DESCRIBE.
    And it will not cause any impact in functionality of your program

  • UNICODE Error in ECC 6.0

    Hi Guys,
    I am working on upgrade project 4.5B to ECC 6.0, in 4.5B internal table refers the Ztable, but in ECC 6.0 it giving error.
    4.5B statement: GT_PLAN_SIO  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF   ZSTR_PLAN_SIO WITH HEADER LINE.
    The above statement error in the ECC 6.0, Could you please correct the statement.
    Thanks
    Gourisankar.

    Hello Gourisankar
    First of all I would get rid of the "... WITH HEADER LINE". However, this is probably not the reason for the Unicode-error.
    Since you did not mention the most important detail to answer your question, namely the exact Unicode error, I can only give some tips and hits:
    - try to change the type of the table
    - try to add key options
    Examples:
    DATA: GT_PLAN_SIO TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ZSTR_PLAN_SIO. " WITH HEADER LINE.
    DATA: GT_PLAN_SIO TYPE                    TABLE OF ZSTR_PLAN_SIO.
    DATA: GT_PLAN_SIO TYPE                    TABLE OF ZSTR_PLAN_SIO
                                                                  WITH DEFAULT KEY.

  • INSERT or MoDIFY statement

    hi,
    I have to insert a data for my ztable,for 1st time it is updating the data,but for the second time (since all the key fields are same as 1st record),it is going to modify the data in my table.(since i have used modify statement),But i want both the records.
    any idea?

    hi
    MODIFY - Will update the table, if the data already exists, if NOT inserts new rows.
    UPDATE - Will update the table, errors out if the data is not found.
    In case of MODIFY the sy-subrc is always 0 so you would't know whether the data is actually updated or not.
    INSERT - Inserting Data in Database Tables
    Update Modify Insert stmts we use when we want to do some change / Insertion
    (1) to database table from internal table or
    (2) from work area to internal table.
    ( AA ) Update
    If the intended record in the internal table is found in databse table means it will just update that record.
    syntax to update database table from itab:::::
    UPDATE dbtab FROM TABLE itab
    Changes to lines made with the UPDATE command only becomefinal after a database commit
    Without using internal table we can update database table directly as shown below:::::::::::::::::::::
    TABLES SFLIGHT.
    UPDATE SFLIGHT SET SEATSOCC = SEATSOCC + 3
    WHERE CARRID = 'LH' AND
    CONNID = '0400' AND
    FLDATE = '19950228'.
    ( BB ) Modify is used to insert new record if the record doesnt exist in datbase table.system check this on primary key basis.
    If the intended record in the internal table is found in databse table means it will just update that record.So here its equal to UPDATE stmt.
    For changes to database table we use syntax as below ::::
    MODIFY DatabaseTable FROM TABLE itab.
    For changes to Internal table we use syntax as below ::::
    MODIFY itab FROM wa INDEX idx.
    http://TRANSPORTING f1 ... fn WHERE cond.
    ( CC ) Insert stmt is used to insert New records into databse table from internal table or to internal table from work area.
    By default, data is only inserted in the current client. However, ifyou use the CLIENT SPECIFIED addition, you can switch off theautomatic client handling.
    You cannot insert a table line if the table alreadycontains a record with the same primary key.
    Syntax::::::::::
    INSERT INTO dbtab CLIENT SPECIFIED VALUES wa.
    or
    INSERT (dbtabname) CLIENT SPECIFIED FROM TABLE itab.
    Example
    Adding customer "Robinson" to client 002:
    TABLES SCUSTOM.
    SCUSTOM-MANDT = '002'.
    SCUSTOM-ID = '12400177'.
    SCUSTOM-NAME = 'Robinson'.
    SCUSTOM-POSTCODE = '69542'.
    SCUSTOM-CITY = 'Heidelberg'.
    SCUSTOM-CUSTTYPE = 'P'.
    SCUSTOM-DISCOUNT = '003'.
    SCUSTOM-TELEPHONE = '01234/56789'.

  • How to avoid Unicode errors in SAP custom code queries.

    Currently we are going for a non Unicode technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
    We have many query infosets with custom ABAP code. Unable to execute these queries (infosets) as ECC 6.0 system is throwing short dump and query infoset editor throwing Unicode syntax errors . Anyway to avoid these Unicode errors by changing query or infoset system setting.
    We will proceed with infosets ABAP code Unicode remediation if the above is not feasible.
    Thanks in advance.

    If the infosets are with custome abap code let the UCCHECK be happen on these programs in ecc6 ..
    In tcode UCCHECK the code which needs to be replaced for the custom programs  will be provided for the abap developers . All programs in ecc6 should be ucc compliant . I hope this will happen with the abap upgrade by enabling ecc6 .
    they will enable ecc check and do the code modification for moving out the obselete statements in ecc6 which were ok for 4.6c then .
    Dont worry about the dumps as this will not take much time on a single program once the UCC is over ..

    I dont see MANUAL or AUTO as valid value for this parameter (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch1175.htm#1023124) DB version is 9.2.0
    Parameter type
    String
    Syntax
    REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE = {TIMESTAMP | SIGNATURE}
    Default value
    TIMESTAMP
    Parameter class
    Dynamic: ALTER SESSION, ALTER SYSTEM
    =======================================
    I believe it could be because of following bug
    "A PRE-PATCHED ORACLE IMAGE CAN BE INSTALLED IN MEMORY "
    Refer: "https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:15:1613505143885559758::::p15_database_id,p15_docid,p15_show_header,p15_show_help,p15_black_frame,p15_font:BUG,4610411,1,1,1,helvetica"
    I appreciate your effort in fixing this issue.

    Hi:
    It seems when you are starting RMAN it's executing some commands (one 'ALTER SESSION...'. It's seems to be a batch which has a bad value for SORT_AREA_SIZE. Find it and modify to a proper value as message shows. If you can't find start RMAN by calling directly the executable ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman or %ORACLE_HOME%/bin/rman.exe).

  • Database Updation and Insertion using Modify Statement

    Hi All,
    I am using Modify statment for data insertion and updation
    MODIFY zmpit_ven_bgg_rg FROM TABLE t_ven_bgg .
    But I am getting error
    The type of the database table and work area (or internal table) "T_VEN_BGG" are not compatible.
    I have defined my internal table of below type :
    TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_ven_bgg,
            mandt             TYPE mandt,
            lifnr                 TYPE lfa1-lifnr,
            bgg                 TYPE zmpit_ven_bgg_rg-matkl,
            ind                  TYPE zmpit_ven_bgg_rg-active_ind,
            created_by      TYPE zmpit_ven_bgg_rg-created_by,
            created_on      TYPE zmpit_ven_bgg_rg-created_on,
            last_changed_by TYPE zmpit_ven_bgg_rg-last_changed_by,
            last_changed_on TYPE zmpit_ven_bgg_rg-last_changed_on,
            remarks              TYPE zmpit_ven_bgg_rg-remarks,
            ind1(1)                TYPE c,
                 END OF ty_ven_bgg.
    Here, ind1 is not field  of the table.
    I have added a new field Remarks in the table and thus i included it in the Internal table also.
    Above Modify statement was working fine without Remarks field. I am not able to understand the error
    as work area is also of type ty_ven_bgg.
    Please suggest some solution.
    Regards,
    Nibha

    Hi,
    Though you have creaated one more internal tsble without the indc field, but you can do it using the same intrenal table by simply using
    1. MOVE-CORRESPONDING <internal table> to <ztable>.
    2.MODIFY <ztable>.
    will solve your problem
    Secondly declare the internal table using DATA after structure has been declared using TYPES.
    This is better approach to follow.

  • How to remove Unicode errors from extended check and code inspector

    Hi
    We are working on making all our ABAP program to make unicode compliant. We are activating unicode flag in attribute and correcting syntax errors. After this when we do the extended checks or SLIN or code inspector, usually giving error for many statements such as whenever there is message.
    <b>Code is :</b>message a208 with text-004.
    <b>Error description is</b> :
    The message 208 for id zz has no long text.
    You can hide this message using "#EC *
    208 is -   & does not exist in & &. And  text 004 is - Cannot open the output file
    By using #EC * we can remove errors. But Is this the correct way and what does this indicate? Please explain.

    Hi Yogesh,
    Can you check whether the message number 208 in message id ZZ has the Self Explanatory checkbox as checked or not? I think it is not checked and u have also not maintained any long text. Hence the error.
    By using #EC - you do not remove the error, however u hide it from SLIN.
    It is used if there is some known error you cannot avoid which is returned by SLIN and you dont want it to be reported. Also, a way to "cheat" the reviewer who might be checking for errors.
    Not good !!

  • I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd.After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality?

    I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

    Hey Z,
    Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
    Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
    Project:
    - total project duration: 79:04 minutes
    - total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
    Menus:
    - number of menus in project: 1 menus
    - total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
    - total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
    Movies:
    - total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
    - total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
    I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
