Hi Richard,

You need to use the CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES class to correct these errors. Unicode Systems do not accept type x values. Hence you need to use CHAR here. You can check more regarding Unicode Conversions in ABAPDOCU. Please let me know if you need further info.

Thanks,

Sai

it will take null values no need to worry about it.
