Regarding TRANSLATE

[Former Member]

Hi everyone.

Iam working on a Unicode Enabling Project.

There is a data declaration as below.

DATA : U/N(3) TYPE C.

When I give a syntax check it is throwing the following error:

"The "/" character is reserved for identification of namespaces. It must be entered twice. The name of a namespace must be at least 3 characters LONG…."

Please tell me how to handle this.

Thanks and Regards,

bhargava,

is the '/' a must since it seems like an ABAP program ?

you cannot give a '/' or a ''' , like any programming language , ABAP has its own reserved characters , that is what you see in the error message flagged.

Heay guys,

I got your point, but the thing is: is there any equivalent replacement for that character... coz i dont know what is the functionality for that character????

If there is nto replacement... we can o ahead changing it, but i ned to be sure before i take that step

bhargava,

I don't think there is anyway you can get a '/' in the variable declaration.

The above link talks about naming conventions for variabes but am unable to find any explicit statement saying that '/' is not allowed.
