Problem with hexadecimal value

JayantkumarS — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:16:58 GMT

hi Experts,

FIELD-symbols : <fs_x> TYPE X.

"convert char to ascii
ASSIGN 'A' TO <fs_x> casting.

the above code is working differenlty in 2 systems.

in one system - <fs_X> = 0041 - which is correct

in other system - <fs_X> = 4100 - which is wrong.

Please advice.

Rgs,

Jayant

Hello Jayant,

You can find in your ABAP F1 help about "byte sequence". The byte sequence determines whether the highest-value byte or lowest-value byte is stored first. In the case of the highest-value byte, the binary display is referred to as big endian and with the lowest-value byte, the display is known as little endian. Different processor might have different byte order.

See example in ABAP help:

Best regards,
