BAPI's and Xstrings - does it work?

[kmoore007]

Hi All,

I have created a BAPI which passes an Xstring as an Export parameter. However, when I test the BAPI using the Web Services Navigator, the BAPI times out and never passes the Xstring data. But I can execute the BAPI in SE37 and it works just fine.

Has anyone passed an Xstring in a BAPI before and it worked? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Kenneth

PS: The Xstring is the binary form of a PDF file.

Hi,

I think the XSTRING data type is not there in web services.

Nandha,

Do you mean Xstring is not supported by SAP web services? So I can not add Xstring to web services somehow to make it work?

Hello Kenneth,

STRING and XSTRING type is not have a field length limit so it is not supported by BAPI.
