xstring converion issue

Former Member — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:31:41 GMT

Hello ,

I have a requirement to convert xstring to Text . below mentioned is code i am using for conversion

TRY.

CALL method cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create

EXPORTING

encoding = 'UTF-8'

input = p_detailtext ( xstring format)

receiving

conv = lv_convert.

CALL method lv_convert->read

IMPORTING

data = lv_string. ( text format )

CATCH cx_root.

lv_msg = 'Conversion error'.

ENDTRY.

this code workings absolutely fine for normal text . But if the text has special characters like £ , ¥ , then an exception is raised and I just get back a # instead .

Could anyone help in this regard . How do i get the right conversion for all characters.

Hi,

it seems that your input xstring is not in UTF-8 format.

You should check this.
