Hi everyone,

I have a structure.

BEGIN OF x,

firstname(20) TYPE c,

lastname(20) TYPE c,

age TYPE i,

END OF x.

I want to compile the data of the structure into a conatiner which is of type string or xstring. Is there any class that had this functionality.

Please revert.

Thanks and Regards,

Bhargav.Kavuri

Hi,

Check the below code...

*   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.

Thanks,
