Hi Experts,

I have a text stored in the form of Binary,When i Read the text to display it in the report it displays "##" as a delimter at the end of each line.

Is there any way to convert the Binary data into text in 4.6.

Regards,

Hi,

Try:

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_TEXT_TO_BIN'              
           EXPORTING TEXT_LINE = w_mm
           IMPORTING BIN_LINE  = w_kk.

and

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BIN_TO_TEXT'             
         EXPORTING BIN_LINE  = w_xx
         IMPORTING TEXT_LINE = w_mm.

Best regards,

Hi,

May be also (older releases):

DATA: w_mm   TYPE c,
        w_xx   TYPE x,
        w_ss(2)   TYPE c,

  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <w_kk> TYPE c.

    w_ss = '3F'.
    w_xx = w_ss.
    ASSIGN ('w_xx') TO <w_kk> CASTING TYPE c.
    w_mm = <w_kk>.


*      agora w_mm tem o caracter binario.
      ASSIGN w_mm TO <w_kk> CASTING TYPE x.
      WRITE <w_kk> TO w_ss.

You can use follow forms in the ABAP side

&----

*& FORM HEX_TO_CHAR *

&----

FORM Hex_to_Char CHANGING p_value TYPE string.

DATA:

x_length TYPE i,

x_hexval TYPE REF TO DATA.

x_length = strlen( p_value ) / 2.

CREATE DATA x_hexval TYPE x LENGTH x_length.

ASSIGN x_hexval->* TO <Xvalue> CASTING.

<Xvalue> = p_value.

ASSIGN <Xvalue>(x_length) TO <Cvalue> CASTING.

p_value = <Cvalue>.

ENDFORM.

&----

*& FORM CHAR_TO_HEX *

&----

FORM Char_to_Hex CHANGING p_value TYPE string.

DATA:

x_length TYPE i,

x_chrval TYPE REF TO DATA.

x_length = strlen( p_value ).

CREATE DATA x_chrval TYPE c LENGTH x_length.

ASSIGN x_chrval->* TO <Cvalue> CASTING.

<Cvalue> = p_value.

ASSIGN <Cvalue>(x_length) TO <Xvalue> CASTING.

p_value = <Xvalue>.

ENDFORM.
