Problem with data type Xstring

Former Member — Sat, 16 Nov 2013 15:51:43 GMT

I have facing an issue when assigning string to X-String.

DATA : lv_string TYPE string,

lv_xstring type xstring.

lv_string = '128'.

lv_xstring = lv_string.

Lv_xstring value is getting changed to '1280' , Additionally zero is getting added , I have tried with many solutions.

How to avoid adding additional zero to lv_xstring fired.

But still facing the same issue.

Hi-

What's your exact requirement? Why are you directly converting a variable from string to xstring, please use standard FM's like : 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING' or 'HR_KR_STRING_TO_XSTRING'.

Also have you observed below things like:

*If your string starts with with a character value after this step lv_xstring = lv_string, lv_xstring will hold nothing means space.

*Also say lv_string = 128 after moving to lv_xstring it will hold 1280 as you said.

*Also say lv_string = 128xyzzzz after moving to lv_xstring even this will hold 1280.

Hi Venkat ,

My requirement is to convert the input value to Binary , Here the Input is Hexa value.

Please see the below code , when I assign value to lv_xstring

lv_text is string.

lv_text = '128'. " This input is dynamic , User can give in selection screen.

   CLEAR lv_text.
** calculate length
   lv_length = XSTRLEN( lv_xstring ) * 8.

   WHILE sy-index <= lv_length.
     GET BIT sy-index OF lv_xstring INTO lv_value.
     MOVE lv_value TO lv_input.
     CONCATENATE lv_text lv_input INTO lv_text.
   ENDWHILE.
** delete leading zeros
   SHIFT lv_text LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
