4.6 - convert string to xstring to binary table - how

[Former Member]

Hello all,

In 4.7 I use the following code to create a binary table that is used to send an email file attachments of any record length.

I build the string, adding data, tabs, and line breaks, convert string to xstring, convert xstring to binary table.

data: w_string type string.

data: x_string type xstring.

data: binary_att type standard table of solix.

call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'

exporting

text = w_string

importing

buffer = x_string.

call function 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

exporting

buffer = x_string

append_to_table = 'X' "Do not clear/refresh table

tables

binary_tab = binary_att.

We were bought by a company that uses 4.6. I haven't found any functions or class/methods in the 4.6 system that will do the same thing.

Is anyone doing this on a 4.6 system, if yes, how?

Thanks

Bruce

Hi,

You can refer the below link where I have just now posted a possible solution & see whether that helps. You need to check the open dataset/last part in that I guess since your question more specific to conversion.
