Upgrade errors:Unicode programs offset/lenght declarations are not allowed

[Former Member]

HI All,

I am doing upgrade project( From 4.7 to ECC 6)

I encounter problem like Structure TEMP+6 does not start with a character type field.

InUnicode programs in such cases offset/lenght declarations are not allowed.

Hi,

In unicode enabled program, you can read data using offset from individual fields not from the complete structure.

HI,

Actually my structure declaration is like this

DATA: BEGIN OF TEMP OCCURS 0,
          STAMP      LIKE ZU032-UOW_TIME,    ( of type DEC)
          DATA       LIKE G_UOWTAB,
        END OF TEMP.

they are using the statement like this

MOVE TEMP+6 TO G_UOWTAB.

And error is coming as i said.

How to rectify this one.

it means that they are trying to access the first 6 characters of your structure.

if STAMP if of 4 characters (assume) and DATA is also of 4 characters then in the code the purpose is to fill G_UOWTAB with 4 characters of STAMP and 2 characters of DATA. so you can do it like this:

concatenate TEMP-STAMP0(4) TEMP-DATA0(2) into G_UOWTAB.

if STAMP data type is more than 6 character than DATA is not needed to be concatenated. as we just need to pic 6 characters
