Unicode XTSRING to String Question?

Former Member — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:27:59 GMT

I have an xstring which holds the converted (to non-unicode utf-8) hexidecimal contents of a string. I have to pass out the string with the new (non-unicode, utf-8) values, not the unicode values it holds.

In other words:

v_field = '123' hex = 3100,3200,3300 (Unicode)

converted_to_utf-8_buffer hex = 31,32,33

So, I need the value to stay 1,2,3, but I need its hex values changed to converted_to_utf-8_buffer hex = 31,32,33.

Due to issues we are having passing this data(html) out to a Web Application since Unicode upgrade, I want to pass the

this data(html) with the same values and hex values as it was before unicode Upgrade?

Is this possible? How?

Thank-You

Hi TMM,

I think you can use FM 'HR_RU_CONVERT_HEX_TO_STRING ' to convert hex data to string.

Hello Prince,

I have tried that. The result for the value (1,2,3) in the string is correct, but the hex goes back to (2 byte) Unicode, 3100, 3200, 3300.

My goal is to have the hex (of the character string) at non-Unicode when passing out (1 byte), 31,32,33.

Thanks.
