Upgrade error : Not mutually convertible

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am doing upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.

I got error in one program as shown below.

A line of "IT_PRD_COST" and "L_PRD" are not mutually convertible in aUnicode program. .

Actually declaration for these are shown below.

data:  l_prd(200) type c,

data: begin of it_prd_cost occurs 0,
        matnr type mbew-matnr,
        date(10) type c,
        cost type mbew-verpr,
      end of it_prd_cost.

And code is

insert l_prd into it_prd_cost index 1.

How to rectify this one.

Regards

Jai

Hi,

Is this a standard program? Using implicit header lines is obsolete, you shouldn't do this. Aside from that you should move a local variable to a work area and append the work area to the itab; not the local variable to the table..

Also the data types are inconvertible. Your try to move a char field into a curr field, this can't really work out

If this is your own program and not sap-standard, better do something like:

TYPES: BEGIN OF ls_prd_cost_type,
             matnr type mbew-matnr,
             date(10) type c,
             cost type mbew-verpr,
             END OF ls_prd_cost_type.
TYPES: lt_prd_cost_type TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ls_prd_cost_type.

DATA: ls_prd_cost TYPE ls_prd_cost_type.
DATA: lt_prd_cost TYPE lt_prd_cost_type.

DATA: lv_prd(200) TYPE c.

ls_prd_cost-cost = lv_prd. " This will not work with these data-types

APPEND ls_prd_cost TO lt_prd_cost.
CLEAR ls_prd_cost.
