Function 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to convert a hexadecimal value to String. Then, I used the following function module HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING. However, what I get as result is: ###.

DATA:

in_xstring TYPE xstring,

out_string TYPE string.

in_xstring = '00020C'.

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'

EXPORTING

• FROM_CODEPAGE = '8500'

in_xstring = in_xstring

• OUT_LEN =

importing

out_string = out_string.

write out_string. " Result: ###

Anyone knows, how can I do to se correctly this result?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Leo

Hi,

*   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 = '?'

      RECEIVING
        CONV        = loc_CONV.

    TRY.
        CALL METHOD loc_CONV->READ
          IMPORTING
            DATA = loc_string.

Hi Sudheer Junnuthula,

I tried with CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE but I still having same problem. I mean, value of LOC_STRING is equal than ###.

I can't fnd the way to see ### as decimal value. For example: 0.20

Do you have any idea about what can I do?

Thanks in advance for your help

Refer to this link..

Hi Avinash Kodarapu,

I tried to solve my problem with your suggestion but it didn't work. I mean, it continues showing ### instead 0.20.

Do you have any idea about what can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Leonardo,

This is because your hex value contains only special characters. As SAP uses unicode UTF-16 so in your byte sequence 00020C each "character" is stored in two bytes.

First: '00', second '02', third '0C'. These are all special ASCII characters, that's why they appear as ### after conversion.

Put correct byte value in xstring and you will get desired results. Example:

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
  EXPORTING
    in_xstring = '302E3230'   "0.20"
  IMPORTING
    out_string = out_string.

write: out_string.

Hi Marcin,

Thanks for your answer. In fact, you are right. However, my main problem is that I receive a file created in 4.6c version, which include these characters ### (00020C).

In this version (4.6c), I can move these characters to a dec field without problems. In fact, I see then its value like 0.20.

On the other hand, if I use the same file in ECC 6.0, I can't assign these characters to a dec field. Even by using functions/methods.

Is there any way to convert these character to dec value?

Anyways, thanks for your help. It has been quite useful.

Hi,

The Value of 00020C is

00 - Null

02 - Start of text

0C - Form Feed .. so it is converting these values as #..

You need to use the FM and get the char value of these hexa values and using this replace the values with space.

Can you please explain how do I replace these 00 (Nulls) which has automatically been inserted after each and every character for a working 4.5B file which fails in ECC6?

Thanks in advance.
