base 64 Encoding for Unicode system doesnt work( Japanese Letters)!!

[Former Member]

Hi,

I tried<b> encoding few japanese</b> letters using this below API. system is "<b>UNICODE</b>" enabled.

lv_final_oppt_txt = "&#26085;&#26412;&#12486;&#12473;&#12488;&#26085;&#26412;&#12486;&#12473;&#12488;".

CALL METHOD cl_http_utility=>encode_base64

EXPORTING

unencoded = lv_final_oppt_txt

RECEIVING

encoded = lv_text.

<b>Once after decoding this</b> , i am not getting a proper text out of it.

I have used this below API for decoding.

CALL METHOD cl_http_utility=>decode_base64

EXPORTING

encoded = lv_text

RECEIVING

unencoded = lv_final.

<b>Finally lv_final will have corrupted data like "########".</b>

Can you please tell me how do I go about it..or is there any API which works for all

the character sets..This Base64 encoding API works only for nonunicode system I

suppose..<b>Kindly let me know if u know any base64 encoding API which works for all the character sets..</b>

Thanks,

Here's how you can encode and decode base64 string:

DATA : lv_intial  TYPE string,
       lv_encoded TYPE string,
       lv_final   TYPE string,
       lv_tmp1    TYPE xstring,
       lv_tmp2    TYPE xstring.

lv_intial =  'u65E5u672Cu30C6u30B9u30C8u65E5u672Cu30C6u30B9u30C8'.

* convert string to xstring for use with base64 call
lv_tmp1    = cl_openxml_helper=>string_to_xstring( lv_intial ).

* convert temporary xstring to base64 encoded string
lv_encoded = cl_http_utility=>encode_x_base64( lv_tmp1 ).

* decode encoded string into xstring
lv_tmp2    = cl_http_utility=>decode_x_base64( lv_encoded ).

* convert xtring back to UTF-8
lv_final   = cl_openxml_helper=>xstring_to_string( lv_tmp2 ).

WRITE:/ 'Initial :', lv_intial,
      / 'Encoded :', lv_encoded,
      / 'Decoded :', lv_final.
