Converting Unicode Text for External Output?

[Former Member]

Can you take a string (or text) in Unicode (4 bytes each character), and by using its string (or text), as input it to a Function Module, or Method, have the string's hex values converted into the old non-unicode value (2 bytes each character) to send to an external system?

I wish it were this easy, but am finding out it is not. Seems like whenever I run a process to convert a field (4 bytes) in the new unicode system, to old non-unicode (2 bytes each), and move it back into a field in the unicode system, it automatically converts it back to 4 bytes automatically?

It is causing issues on the external target system that is not using unicode.

Thank-You.

Hello Sachin,

I closed this post and opened up two more that I am hoping are more consice to my issue, and am hoping to get a response. My issue, seems to be leading toward IE7 Browser not reading the carriage returns. There are some settings, in IE7, for this. ut I've had no luck. This has been challenging to say the least.

I either need to make IE7 compatible (which IE are you on) with Unicode, or do the conversions...both of my two new posts cover this.

See my mew posts created today. If you find a solution let me know.

Thank-You.
