Base 64 encoding for internal table.

Dear Guru,

I need to convert ALV report output(internal table data ) to Base64 conversion. Is it possible using

encode = obj->if_http_utility~encode_base64( z ) .

As this take string for encoding.

Suggestion are much appreciated.

Regards,

Jayant.

Base 64 is just a way of passing bytes through a set of 64 characters. As this method takes a STRING parameter, those characters must be converted into bytes so that SAP is able to calculate the base 64 ; I guess the conversion into bytes is determined automatically by selecting the "charset" of the "Content-Type" HTTP header field (it's a problem if it's absent - maybe SAP will choose UTF-8).

To convert the ALV table into characters is another question; you may use the CSV format for instance (and then convert CSV into base 64).

Many tools already exist such as the FM ww_itab_o_html[,_headers,_layout] or classes cl_salv_[bs_runtime_info, ex_util, bs_tt_util to convert your ALV/itab to html, use search tool, those were already described in the forums.

Then encode the resulting string to Base 64.
