Converting data back to string from the data type VARILRAW

Former Member — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:07:22 GMT

Hello Friends

I am trying to write data consisting of a very long variable string to a table using a BAPI. However, since data type 'string' is not supported in a BAPI, I am using 'VARILRAW'.

However, the data gets stored as a binary and so when I try to retrieve it, it is giving out the string in a non-readable format.

Is there a way to convert this VARILRAW strong back to readable string?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Ram

Hi,

I guess there is no FM to do this.

Try moving this to a string type variable if possible.

Ramya

Thanks Ramya

However, I didn't understand when you said, 'try moving this to string type'. Can you please elaborate on it?

thanks
