Question on Webdynpro ABAP File Upload

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to upload a file from client to server in webdynpro ABAP..

I am using the file upload UI element & I have the data uploaded..

But the data is in the XSTRING format.. How can I covert this data to CHAR or STRING format..

& how can be data be transferred to SERVER... Will the OPEN DATASET & TRANSFER statements work... ?

Thanks

Assuming your xstring is in i_data, and t_data is your output table:

  data: l_data  type string,
        lr_conv type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce.

* Convert to string
  lr_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = i_data ).
  lr_conv->read( importing data = l_data ).

* Convert string to table
  split l_data at cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf into table t_data.

Now you can process t_data using the normal OPEN DATASET and TRANSFER commands.

For converting xstring to string format you need to use some function module.

like below CRM_IC_XML_XSTRING2STRING

CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_IC_XML_XSTRING2STRING'
    EXPORTING
      INXSTRING = l_xstring
    IMPORTING
      OUTSTRING = l_string.

Once it is converted to string format , you need to split at Tabs using cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab (if the file is tab delimited file)

Check it once.
