Binary to Text

Former Member — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 11:40:02 GMT

Hi i am using function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING to convert Binary data [28*1000] to Text format.

DATA outrec TYPE string.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'

EXPORTING

input_length = 28000

FIRST_LINE = 1

LAST_LINE = 28

MIMETYPE = ' '

IMPORTING

text_buffer = outrec

OUTPUT_LENGTH =

TABLES

binary_tab = l_pdf_data

EXCEPTIONS
FAILED = 1
OTHERS = 2

The resultant Text data is stored in "outrec" variable. But when i try to write this data to file, I notice that outrec does not contain all the data in the Binary format.

Can you please advice, if I am passing the parameters wrongly.

Thanks

Shital

This is how l_pdfdata gets populated. The below FM read data from PDF formated spool

*Read the spool content

CALL FUNCTION 'FPCOMP_CREATE_PDF_FROM_SPOOL'

EXPORTING

i_spoolid = p_spono

i_partnum = '1'

IMPORTING

e_pdf = pdf_data

e_pdf_file = file

EXCEPTIONS

ads_error = 1

usage_error = 2

system_error = 3

internal_error = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Modify the spool contents to prepare internal table

l_len = XSTRLEN( pdf_data ).

WHILE l_len >= 1000.

l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(1000).

APPEND l_pdf_line TO l_pdf_data.

ADD 1000 TO l_offset.

SUBTRACT 1000 FROM l_len.

ENDWHILE.

IF l_len > 0.

l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(l_len).

APPEND l_pdf_line TO l_pdf_data.

ENDIF.
