problem in understanding the code

[Former Member]

this particular code is given as stadard example in sap unicode conversion

this particular code is replcement for 'translate code page syntax'

this code describes how to use particular cl_abap_conv_in_ce classs

i cannot understand the 'buffer' field in this code

can any one tell me what is the meaning of buffer = '41424320' from where did he get this value?

DATA:

text(100) TYPE c,

int TYPE i,

buffer(4) TYPE x,

conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.

conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(

encoding = 'UTF-8'

endian = 'L' ).

buffer = '41424320'.

conv->convert(

EXPORTING input = buffer

IMPORTING data = text ).

buffer = '02010000'.

conv->convert(

EXPORTING input = buffer

IMPORTING data = int ).

Its the string 'ABC' in utf-8 to hexadeciaml conversion

hi elinuk.

it is just sample string.

it is type x (hexadecimal) variable.indeed it is just "ABC"

run function "CACS_CONVERT_HEX_TO_STRING" and give it 41424320.

it will return ABC.

best regards

thank you mahmet i also want to check weather i am doing the code correct or not

i have old syntax in my program like 'TRANSLATE header-id FROM CODE PAGE file_tab-codepage'.

i am replacing the above syntax with the follwing code and can u correct me if i am wrong

data:

buffer1 type xstring,

conv type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce,

int type i.

conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(

encoding = 'file_tab-codepage'

endian = 'L' ).

buffer1 = '41424320'.

conv->convert(

exporting input = buffer1

importing data = header-id ).
