ABAP_DESCRIPTION
Determining the offset and length, in bytes, of a character-like fragment within the struc structure, access to the fragment using an offset/length access and assignment to a field symbol of type
. Since the structure is not purely character-like, the offset/length access takes place using a field symbol, otherwise a syntax error occurs in a Unicode program. The field symbol is of the type x , since offset and length are determined in bytes. In Unicode systems , a different value is identified for off than in non-Unicode systems because of the alignment gap before comp3 . The result field symbol has the same content in both cases "Hey you!".
