convert xstring into human readable string

Former Member — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 17:02:22 GMT

Hi,

I am doing some email attachment from web dynpro. I get a xstring parameter from front end (which is a text file). I need to convert it (back) into human readable. AS far as I've seen code page 1100 is latin1 so that is what I want

I use 4.6C --> I didn't find a xstring to string function module.

is it done be command TRANSLATE?

thanks in advance

Stefan

see this sap help for CALL TRANSFORMATION

http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABAPCALL_TRANSFORMATION.htm

check if it exists for 4.6c and can help u or not.

Just search the forum for "xstring to string", you'll get the answer (cl_abap_conv_in_ce)

use this FM's


CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      im_xstring  = xsd
      im_encoding = 'UTF-8'
    IMPORTING
      ex_string   = e_xsd.
ENDFUNCTION.

also look at the fm 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'

Also look at the code

data: conv type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce ,

xcontent type xstring,

content type string .

conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = xcontent ).

conv->read( importing data = content ).

Do something like this and adapt it if needed :

REPORT  ZZYSRO_XSTRING_TO_STRING.
* This program works only if 1 character occupies 1 byte (4.6c?)
data string type string.
data xstring type xstring.
constants buffsize type i value 2. "here set a large buffer, maximum 65535 or 65536 if I remember well
data xxx type x length buffsize.
field-symbols <ccc> type c.
data max type i.
data len type i.
data pos type i.
data temp type i.

xstring = '414243'.

pos = 0.
len = buffsize.
max = strlen( xstring ). "xstrlen is not available in 4.6c if I remember well, strlen should work
do.
  if pos >= max.
    exit.
  endif.
  temp = pos + buffsize.
  if temp >= max.
    len = max - pos.
  endif.
  xxx = xstring+pos(len).
  assign xxx(len) to <ccc> casting.
  concatenate string <ccc> into string.
  add buffsize to pos.
enddo.

* Assertion :
if string <> 'ABC'. message x001(00). endif.
