cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_import and strings

[rainer_hbenthal]

Hi,

please have a look at this simple piece of code:

  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_import
    importing
      data                 = it_csv
    exceptions
      cntl_error           = 1
*      ERROR_NO_GUI         = 2
*      NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3
      others               = 4
          .

if it_CSV is declared as

types c4096 type c length 4096.
data   it_csv type standard table of c4096.

everything works well,

but

data   it_csv type standard table of string.

causes a system abend. Can someone confirm this? Bug or Feature?

Hi,

In the CLIPBOARD_IMPORT, if you look at the Import statment DATA,, it will declare as a STRING, so it will accept only the STRING types.

data is declared as STANDARD TABLE, not as string.
