Conversion routine

Former Member — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 05:06:00 GMT

Hi all,

What conversion routine is required to convert a field of TYPE, RAW 16 to a field of CHAR 34? The same data is stored in a field in a table as RAW 16, but in another table, the same data is stored in another field as CHAR 34. I want to compare both these fields but they are of different types. Is there any conversion routine which will serve this purpose?

Thanks,

Sruthy

Hi Sruthy,

Try Using the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for converting RAW 16 to CHAR 34 or vice versa.

Chetan.

Hi,

there is no conversion exit already existing in SE11.

The FM , CONVERSION EXITALPHA_INPUT cannot be used in this case.

I will try assigning it directly.

Thanks everyone
