Splitting a XSTRING into a Table

Former Member — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:18:49 GMT

Hello there everybody,

i m facing a real awful problem right now. I'm trying to convert an variable of the type XSTRING to a table of the structure SOLISTI1. The lines of the table are 255 characters long. The XSTRING has an unknown length. For example len(XSTRING) = 1913 characters lines in table = 8 ((7 x 255) + (1x 128)) Is there any FM or any order to transform the XSTRING into this certain table??? Greetings Gollmer

Use the functions of funtion group SCMS_CONV or methods of class CL_BCS_CONVERT among others.

Hi,

There is a FM 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE' for this,


 CALL FUNCTION 'SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE'
     EXPORTING
        line_width_src              = '268'
       line_width_dst              = '268'
      TABLES
        content_in                  = it_pdf[]
       content_out                 = it_pdfdata[]
*      EXCEPTIONS
*        err_line_width_src_too_long = 1
*        err_line_width_dst_too_long = 2
*        err_conv_failed             = 3
*        OTHERS                      = 4.

This did not worked for me, I developed a code for that

first try this else try this code


data : wa_pdf type tline,
       wa_pdfdata type solisti1,
       i type i,
       j type i,
       k type i,
       l type i.
i = 134.
loop at it_pdf into wa_pdf.
 move wa_pdf(i) to wa_pdfdata+j.
  j = j + i.
   if j >= 255.
    append wa_pdfdata to it_pdfdata.
    CLEAR wa_pdfdata.
    clear j.
    k = 134 - i.
    if k > 0.
    move wa_pdf+i(k) to wa_pdfdata+0(k).
    endif.
    j = j + k.
 endif.
l = j + i.
 if l >= 255.
   i = 255 - j.
 else.
   i = 134.
 endif.
endloop.

Thanks,

Anmol.

Hello there anmol,

my input is an XSTRING variable, not a tlines-table. Do you have any idea how else i can solve my problem?

Use the methods I gave you...And you're correct: Anmol's answer was wrong...

Hello Brad,

I looked up the function-group and found the FM "SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY". This piece of code sounds really promising to me. Unfortunately I cannot test this FM under real conditions. But I Think this one solves the problem.

Thank you very much Brad.

Greetings Gollmer

SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY is the one.
