Problem using SCMS_TEXT_TO_BINARY

[Former Member]

**Using a unicode system ECC 5.0**

I'm getting this error with this function module "Error occurred during character conversion". I need to convert character string of length 255 to binary/raw with length also 255.

DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,

line(255).

DATA: END OF itab.

DATA: BEGIN OF xtab OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE bapicontent255.

DATA: END OF xtab.

DATA: L_SIZE TYPE I.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_TEXT_TO_BINARY'

IMPORTING

OUTPUT_LENGTH = l_size

TABLES

text_tab = I_SOLI

binary_tab = DATA_BIN

EXCEPTIONS

FAILED = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Your help are highly appreciated. Thanks!

hi ,

I had executed the same code as urs with itab content as itab-line = DEVELOPER.

i got output in xtab-line as 444556454C4F5045520D0A0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
