Move XSTRING to RAW under Unicode

[mathias_lange3]

Hi all,

under Unicode I want to move a field type xstring to a field type raw. With move it is not possible.

DATA: buffer3 type xstring.

DATA: z_field type solix.

solix is from type SO_RAW255.

How can I move buffer3 to z_field???

For your better understanding what I want to do in my program:

I have a text field of type c and a field of type solix:

DATA: z_text(255) type c.

DATA: z_field type solix.

Move z_text to z_field doesn't work under Unicode, so I tried using a classmethod:

CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>read_container_c

EXPORTING

im_container = z_text

IMPORTING

ex_value = z_field

EXCEPTIONS

illegal_parameter_type = 1

OTHERS = 2.

Ok, it works but another problem:

When z_text = 'a' its HEX-Value is '6100' in a Unicode-System. In a Non-UC it is only '61'.

And this is my problem. In my further program the 00 cause some problems.

To delete the '00' I use class cl_abap_conv_out_ce.

DATA: buffer3 TYPE xstring.

conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_out_ce.

conv = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create(

encoding = 'UTF-8'

endian = 'L' ).

conv->convert( EXPORTING data = z_text

IMPORTING buffer = buffer3 ).

The value of buffer3 is now '61', exactly what I want. But there is still the challange to move buffer3 to z_field. Under Unicode it is not possible with move.

The methods used before doesn't work.

How can I move xstring to so_raw255 field?

Or does anybody knows another way to delete the '00' from HEX????

I hope you can understand what I mean!

Thanks in advance,

Mathias

Hi,

I solved the Problem:

field-symbols: <x_wrk_line> type so_raw255,

<x_struc> type xstring.

assign buffer3 to <x_struc> casting.

assign z_line to <x_wrk_line> casting.

conv = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create(

encoding = 'UTF-8'

endian = 'L' ).

This method converts my textfield z_text into an xstring deleting the '00' I do not want:

conv->convert( exporting data = z_text

importing buffer = buffer3 ).

The challange was to move the field of type xstring to an raw-field. I used field-symbols. That was the solution.

<x_wrk_line> = <x_struc>.
