It's a table of lines of 1024 bytes each. You may convert it into an XSTRING variable, by using function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING. You also need to pass the size (number of bytes) so that the result does not contain useless extra bytes.

You write this XSTRING to the application server by a single TRANSFER xstring TO dataset (with of course the OPEN and CLOSE DATASET around).

First step : It's a table of lines of 1024 bytes each. You may convert it into an XSTRING variable, by using function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING. You also need to pass the size (number of bytes) so that the result does not contain useless extra bytes.

Second step : search the web for SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING.

Thanks. Could you tell more?

PS: as per the The SCN Rules of Engagement, a "like" is better than a "thanks" (what you also did, so double usage).
