converting table to xstring for pdf viewing

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to convert a table into xstring. The table consist of 64 line type char255.

I am doing the following:

CALL FUNCTION 'SOTR_SERV_TABLE_TO_STRING'

• EXPORTING

• FLAG_NO_LINE_BREAKS = 'X'

• LINE_LENGTH =

• LANGU = SY-LANGU

IMPORTING

TEXT = wa_string

TABLES

text_tab = stream

.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'

EXPORTING

text = wa_string

• MIMETYPE = ' '

• ENCODING =

IMPORTING

BUFFER = pdf_xstring

• EXCEPTIONS

• FAILED = 1

• OTHERS = 2

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

I am using the xstring in order to show an PDF in WD4A. I always get the message that the file is corrupt and can not be repaired.

best regards

solved it myself with CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_FTEXT_TO_XSTRING'.

Hi Stefan,

Could you please give an example of how you solved this issue, since we too are trying to do the same thing.

Thanks
