coversion problem

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am uploading documents and storing that in a database table as <b>Xstring</b>.

Now I have to convert that <b>to string</b>.

I am using a function module <b>'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'</b> . It works fine if the documet uploaded is type '.txt', but if I upload a '.doc' file and then use this FM , it gives conversion error.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance,

Hi

here is the code I am using

CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'

EXPORTING

IM_XSTRING = XCONTENTS

IMPORTING

EX_STRING = CONTENTS.

Here I am not exporting encoding type. So, it takes 'UTF-8' by default.

What type should I use so as to make it work for '.doc ' files?

Regards,
