[rahul_rajagopal]

Hi Experts,

I have an Z table consist of some xstring fields. I need to convert the xstring to sting. Is there any function module for that ?.

Please search SDN before posting.

You can use FM ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING. Or you can try the below:

First convert XSTRING to BINARY using SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY

And then convert BINARY to STRING using SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.

Try the FM:

DP_SPP_XML_XSTRING2STRING

FM : HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING

another solution is :

DATA: lr_conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,

lr_xstring TYPE xstring,

lr_string TYPE string.

lr_xstring = data.

CALL METHOD cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create

EXPORTING

input = lr_xstring

encoding = 'UTF-8'

replacement = '?'

ignore_cerr = abap_true

RECEIVING

conv = lr_conv.

CALL METHOD lr_conv->read

IMPORTING

data = lr_string.

Hi ,

You can try below code also :

DATA: pdf_form_data TYPE xstring.

l_pdfobj->get_data( IMPORTING formdata = pdf_form_data ).

• Call method to convert xstring to string.

DATA: converter TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,

formxml TYPE string.

converter = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = pdf_form_data ).

converter->read( IMPORTING data = formxml ).
