CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT convert '&' to '<(>&<)>'

[former_member660488]

Hi experts,

when CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT is used to convert string containing Character & to inner table,the resulting inner table convert '&' to"<(>&<)>". I need the & not <(>&<)>. Does anybody know how we can get the expected results?

If you want "&" instead of "<(>&<)>", then it's not format ITF, then you should not use CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT.

Can you explain the context so that to better answer your question?

Do you just want to split a text into sections of constant length?

Do you want to store text in a standard text or any kind of "long text" in tables STXH/STXL?

1 .Smartforms output as dynamic text

2.The order of Excel printing is as follows.

DATA: l_string TYPE string,//the value is the long text above

gt_text TYPE tlint_t.

APPEND l_string TO lt_stream_lines .

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT'

EXPORTING stream_lines = lt_stream_lines

lf = 'X'

TABLES itf_text = gt_text.

So, it's really the ITF format that you need, and "<(>&<)>" is then correct.

When the smart form is output, don't worry, & will be rendered.

the smart form prints well,but the excel output still show "<(>&<)>" not '&',this is the problem I want to solve,Please help me,thank you advance

[Sandra_Rossi]

I didn't notice that you were also talking about Excel. Can you explain what this Excel (file?) has to do with the smart form?

HI ,

Please Try FM - DSVAS_WRD_STREAM_TO_ITF and Pass

NO_AND_REPLACEMENT = 'X'

[former_member660488]

Function module DSVAS_WRD_STREAM_TO_ITF does not exist

[former_member660488]

I want to output this long text to excel files.

[Sandra_Rossi]

Then, why don't you call CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT to do the opposite conversion?

What's the component version for SAP system, its available in SAP ECC 6.0 , Release 702.

if the internal table have three rows,need call three times,or the results connect multiple rows into one row ,What I need is three lines of data without format <(>&<)>.

There's no other way to switch at once,the fm CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII can work？

[Sandra_Rossi]

No, you don't need to call CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT three times. You call it once with internal table of three lines. There are lots of examples in the forum.

[former_member660488]

call it one once return a rows ,this is not what I want. I want three rows without "<(>&<)>"

I call CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT tranfer a string to the internal table,

then call CONVERT_ITF_TO_STREAM_TEXT tranfer the the internal table to the ordinaty string.

After the final call, it returns to the previous data.
