Could you provide your code ?

Weird. It looks like a base 62 format. 62, what the heck !!?? 🙂

Maybe the issue is reading a cell with more than 40 char (I think it is a limitation of the FM)

Base 62 with the one exception that there is an additional and unique dot character... (!!??)

Could you provide your code, explain what this "long string" represents, why you are talking of "upload" and what you want to achieve exactly?

What FM is it?

Maybe you can try creating your own custom FM by copying standard FM and using TYPE as string.

"not accepting the way it requried" is not a meaningful description of a problem.

What do you want?

What are you getting?

In what way is it "not accepting"?

What have you tried.

Copying a standard SAP object is never a good idea. Ever.

matthew.billingham I don't agree for "never". Copying a little piece of code, that you totally understand of course, saves time! This kind of function module is very simple.

Nope. Never.

If you need a string parameter, then modify the code in the FM directly. That way, if upgrade brings an issue you're alerted. If you've made a copy, you don't find out until something potentially really bad happens.
