Hi,

In FM GUI_UPLOAD SAP use class cl_abap_conv_out_ce (you can find it in include LSFESF03).

1. cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create

2. cl_abap_conv_out_ce->write

3. cl_abap_conv_out_ce->get_buffer

I didn't try it, but maybe it will cover your case.

could you please write sample code to me which i can create object and access the method

because i didn't work with object oriented .

i write :

data: conv type REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.

CREATE OBJECT conv.

conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(

encoding = 'UTF-8' ).

conv->convert(

EXPORTING input = lxs_content

IMPORTING data = l_contline ).

itreturn error

Hi,

Please find the bellow link for your solution.

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Characterencodingconversion

http://tcltk.co.kr/files/tdom3.pdf

And check the bellow code which give some idea about your requirement.

Convert XString to String

data: loc_conv type ref to CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE,

loc_xstring type xstring,

loc_string type string.

CALL METHOD CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>CREATE

EXPORTING

INPUT = loc_xstring

ENCODING = 'UTF-8'

REPLACEMENT = '?'

IGNORE_CERR = ABAP_TRUE

RECEIVING

CONV = loc_CONV.

TRY.

CALL METHOD loc_CONV->READ

IMPORTING

DATA = loc_string.

CATCH CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE.

*-- Should ignore errors in code conversions

CATCH CX_SY_CODEPAGE_CONVERTER_INIT.

*-- Should ignore errors in code conversions

CATCH CX_PARAMETER_INVALID_TYPE.

CATCH CX_PARAMETER_INVALID_RANGE.

ENDTRY.

i use this function ( SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS ) to make convertion from

Arabic text "بسم الله " to the flowing text ---> ط¨ط³ظu2026 ط§ظu201Eظu201Eظu2021

i use it as

CALL FUNCTION 'SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS'

EXPORTING

INBUFF = 'بسم الله'

• INBUFFLG = 0

INCODE = '4110'

• OUTBUFFLG = 0

OUTCODE = '8704'

• CSUBST = 'X'

• SUBSTC_HASH = ' '

• SUBSTC_DOT = ' '

• SUBSTC_SPACE = ' '

• SUBSTC = '00035'

IMPORTING

• INUSED =

OUTBUFF = text

• OUTOVERFLOW =

• OUTUSED =

• SUBSTED =

• INPUT_ENDS_IN_CHAR =

• ERRMSG =

• EXCEPTIONS

• INVALID_CODEPAGE = 1

• INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

• CANNOT_CONVERT = 3

• FIELDS_BAD_TYPE = 4

• OTHERS = 5

write : text.

but it doesn't return the output that i need as mentioned above can any one tell me how to get my need output .

Hi,

It won't work because when you pass value like this SAP treats it as Unicode (little endian). Prepare file in notepad and choose UTF-8 and use its inside as input for this function.
