Hi,

CODE PAGE :

These classes are used to convert ABAP data from the system format to external formats and vice versa. During this conversion process, character-type data may be converted to another character set, while numeric-type data may be converted to another byte order (or endian format). You must use a container of type X or XSTRING for data in an external format.

Character sets and endian formats are also converted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. The classes described below are available for those special cases where the possibilities offered by conversion are insufficient. Since these classes work with containers of types X and XSTRING, these containers can be copied unconverted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. These classes replace the following two statements:

TRANSLATE c ...FROM CODE PAGE g1 ... TO CODE PAGE g2

TRANSLATE f ...FROM NUMBER FORMAT n1 ... TO NUMBER FORMAT n2

For a detailed description, see the class documentation in the Class Builder. The following classes are available:

CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE

Reads data from a container and converts it to the system format. You can also fill structures with data.

CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE

Converts data from the system format to an external format and writes it to a container.

CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE

Converts data from one external format to another.

LOCALE :

The goal of Internationalization is to provide the technical foundation to enable programs to support multiple scripts and languages without redesign or modification. Once a user has selected a log on language, all programs must transparently alter their run-time behavior to meet the expectations of the user. Internationalization furthers generic programming, because hard-encoded search strings, error messages, etc. may work in one language, but not in another.

error usually occurs in TRANSLATE statement

TRANSLATE P_VARIVAR_TEXT TO UPPER CASE.

just add below statement to eliminate error.

set locale language sy-langu.

TRANSLATE P_VARIVAR_TEXT TO UPPER CASE.

REWARD IF USEFUL
