'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY' add zero '0000000' to xstring

[Former Member]

I have a RAWSTRING xxx (get from DB) and want download it using GUI_DOWNLOAD.

According to some posts, I call 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

data: data_tab type table of x255.

call function 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

exporting

buffer = xxx

tables

binary_tab = data_tab.

But I find that 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY' add many '0000000000' after xxx, for example:

xxx:..............2FF84D8592BDC35AEA507762

data_tab: .....2FF84D8592BDC35AEA5077620000000000000000

I don't want the '0000000000' , How can I do?

Thanks!

Hi,

In addition to the 'binary_tab' the FM returns the string length 'output_length' . Use this length in reading the 'data_tab'

and restrict the Zero's.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

EXPORTING

buffer = xxx

IMPORTING

output_length = lv_strlen

TABLES

binary_tab = data_tab.

Thanks. The code :

data: xxx type xstring.

data: data_tab type table of x255.

data: len type i.

call function 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'

exporting

buffer = xxx

IMPORTING

OUTPUT_LENGTH = len

tables

binary_tab = data_tab.

cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download(

exporting

BIN_FILESIZE = len

filename = FILENAME

filetype = 'BIN'

changing

data_tab = data_tab ).
