How to convert muliple lines of Binary code to String

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to convert an image into raw data and then this raw data into string. I wrote the following code line

DATA: lv_obj LIKE toahr-object_id.

DATA: itoahr LIKE toahr OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: n TYPE n.

DATA: lv_inp LIKE sapb-sapadokid.

data: EX_DOCUMENT like TBL1024 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

data:lv_str type string .

IF im_photo = 'X'.

SELECT *

FROM toahr INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itoahr

WHERE sap_object = 'PREL'

AND archiv_id = 'A2'

AND ar_object = 'HRICOLFOTO'

AND object_id = pernr.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

DESCRIBE TABLE itoahr LINES n.

READ TABLE itoahr INDEX n.

ENDIF.

lv_inp = itoahr-arc_doc_id.

CALL FUNCTION 'ALINK_RFC_TABLE_GET'

EXPORTING

im_docid = lv_inp

im_crepid = 'A2'

• IM_COMPID =

• IMPORTING

• EX_LENGTH =

• EX_MESSAGE =

TABLES

ex_document = EX_DOCUMENT

.

EX_DOCUMENT_P[] = EX_DOCUMENT[].

CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'

EXPORTING

IM_XSTRING = EX_DOCUMENT_P[]

IM_ENCODING = 'UTF-8'

IMPORTING

EX_STRING = lv_str

.

here the dump is thrown because i am trying to assign multiline "EX_DOCUMENT_P[]" to single line IM_XSTRING .

Is there any alternative to directly achive this raw data conversion directly to String.

Please help me.

Earlier responses would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Uday

Hi Uday,

you can try using FM 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'. it might help.

Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for your suggestion, but my requirement cannot be met by your suggested FM. I have also tried with other FMs I have

u2022SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY

u2022SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING

u2022SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING

u2022SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING

In my case the binary code is being captured in a table of multiple lines (154 lines). Now if I want to pass these many lines to other FM, I can't find any suitable FM.

So, Please someone suggest me some way to convert multiple lines of binary code to string.

Thanks

Hi Uday,

Using FM by Looping on table with multiple lines can help.

i have never tried it but you can try that.

Hi All,

Thanks for all of your help. I resolved this issue with the help of one of my ABAPer.

we used HR_IMAGE_EXISTS and SCMS_DOC_READ followed by SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING

thanks to everyone.

Hi Uday,

I am facing exactly same issue as you had. I am trying to read the pdf attachment from the archive link server with following code.

CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS'
     EXPORTING
       object_id     = lv_object_id
     TABLES
       connections   = lt_connections
     EXCEPTIONS
       nothing_found = 1
       OTHERS        = 2.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     RETURN.
   ENDIF.
 
   READ TABLE lt_connections ASSIGNING <fs_connections> WITH KEY sap_object = 'BUS2000223'
                                                                 archiv_id  = 'ZI'
                                                                 reserve    = 'PDF'.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0 OR <fs_connections> IS NOT ASSIGNED.
     RETURN.
   ENDIF.
 
   CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_AO_TABLE_GET'
     EXPORTING
       arc_id       = 'ZI'
       doc_id       = <fs_connections>-arc_doc_id
     TABLES
       data         = lt_data
     EXCEPTIONS
       error_http   = 1
       error_archiv = 2
       error_kernel = 3
       error_config = 4
       OTHERS       = 5.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     RETURN.
   ENDIF.

Since I want to pass this document to another system, I need this lt_data to be converted to binary. lt_data is of a table type and thus using SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY as I have data of multiple lines. Could anybody advise any other FMs?.

Thanks,

Faisal
