SCMS_TEXT_TO_BINARY - Problems converting data

[Former Member]

HI

I have to convert an internal table in a binary string.

I red several threads referring to this FM.

This is my code

*OUTPUT STRUCTURE

TYPES: BEGIN OF tp_tab,

vbeln LIKE vbak-vbeln,

erdat LIKE vbak-erdat,

kunnr LIKE vbak-kunnr,

name1 LIKE kna1-name1.

TYPES: END OF tp_tab.

*GENERAL TABLE

DATA: it_data TYPE standard table of tp_tab,

lt_att_content_hex TYPE TABLE OF solix.

.....omissis

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_TEXT_TO_BINARY'

EXPORTING

FIRST_LINE = 1

LAST_LINE = 10

APPEND_TO_TABLE = 'X'

• MIMETYPE = ' '

• IMPORTING

• OUTPUT_LENGTH =

TABLES

text_tab = it_data

binary_tab = lt_att_content_hex

EXCEPTIONS

FAILED = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

As you can see my internal table consist of 4 fields. the table consist of 10 rows

The problem is that the binary table contains only the first fields of the table (so VBELN)

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance

Hi, <li>Once you get Binary data using SCMS_TEXT_TO_BINARY, You need call SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING to convert that binary data to xstring format, use it . Thanks Venkat.O

i agree with Venkat.O as he told u do like

Example:

*- Convert the string into xstring
  call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
   exporting
     TEXT     =k_string
   IMPORTING
     BUFFER   = v_xstring
   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.
 
*-  Convert the string into binary table
 CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
   EXPORTING
     buffer     = v_xstring
   TABLES
     binary_tab = ta_excelx.

Hello Krupa janiji,

i am also following same way. first i am converting my document path to xstring format using scms_text_to_xstring. then next i want convert xstring to binary format i am using this fm scms_xstring_to_binary. still i am getting xstring format only. can you please suggest me. how solve this  issue.

i am pasting my code here.

data: buffer type xstring,

        lv_string type string.

        lv_string = 'file name'.

call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'

   exporting

     TEXT             = lv_string

   IMPORTING

     BUFFER        = buffer

   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.

*-  Convert the string into binary table

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

   EXPORTING

     buffer     = buffer

   TABLES

     binary_tab = lt_binary.
