BSP - Controllers

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a BSP Page in a BSP Application. The BSP Page is made up of a controller class A. The BSP page has an attribute of type string.

When the page is launched even in test mode, that attribute is having a value. The controller class has a method set_attribute.

My doubt is that, this attribute is getting populated by that method. However when i set a breakpoint to that method body, in se24, the breakpoint is not reached when i launch the page in test mode.

Can someone help me understand what i am missing?

Thanks,

Nitish.

The reason why you don't stop there is because set_attrribute method of controller is not the one which you should use for passing values to view attributes. You need to use same named method of IF_BSP_PAGE which is implemented in CL_BSP_PAGE_BASE . So you need

"in controller's attributes tab
mr_page type ref to if_bsp_page.

"in method DO_REQUEST
me->mr_page = me->create_view( 'my_page.bsp' ).
me->mr_page->set_attribute( name = 'my_page_attr' value = 'some_value' ).

Then double click set_attribute and set breakpoint in cl_bsp_page_base class. It will stop there.

Yes indeed, this works now.

However I am facing a bigger issue now. An excel file is being stored in a transparent table in a field of type string. When i open the contents of the field in debugger mode, i can see a huge set of characters, its not hexadecimal for sure. The contents are like this:

ÐÏ#ࡱ#á################>###þÿ##############;##########

This continues like it seems to be infinite. I have never seem something like that.

In debugger mode, when i see the contents of the field in fast display, i can see the equivalent hexadecimal value.

Now when i choose view content as XML Browser in debugger, it opens me the excel file.

I have to make some modifications in the excel file and save the updated file in that table.

Can anyone tell me how do i convert it to readable form, like an internal table?

Then convert it back to that format.

Thanks.
