Convert Internal table to Xstring format

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:37:45 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to convert an Itab into xstring using the

"CONCATENATE LINES OF itab INTO xstring1 SEPARATED BY space."

but, I get error saying xstring1 should be of "XSTRING1" must be a character-type data object (data type C, N, D, T,or STRING).

How do I use this? Is there any better method to convert it to xstring type?

Cheers

Kiran

try to this function

SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT

and convert string to xstring SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING

Hi,

You can try this.

DATA: str TYPE string,

xstr TYPE xstring.

CONCATENATE LINES OF itab INTO str SEPARATED BY space.

MOVE str to xstr.

Hi,

Both the above suggestions do not work

I have say an ITAB of type SPFLI.

How do I convert this data into xstring type?

Also does my ITAB have to be a specific type for me to get this to work?

Cheers
