I am using below to create an initial value like: DATA(l_value) = VALUE char4( ).

However I try to create a concrete using VALUE like: DATA(l_value) = VALUE char4( 'AAA' ). I get below error message:

The type "C" is not a structure.

It is not possible. Check this link for details:

The correct way for using “VALUE” with elementary data type is by assigning initial value and you should use NEW operator to assign initial value.

DATA(l_value) = NEW char4( 'AAA' ).
