Unicode problem for converting raw data type to string

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am facing the problem in Unicode.

Before Unicode in version 4.7 we can able to convert the data from string to raw (ssfbin data type) and vise versa. But after Unicode check it is giving error as Unicode not compatible to pass to string .How can I over come to this problem could u please do me needful.

Thanking you,

unicode doesnt allow assignment of string to raw type as the data length for char type and X type differ in 6.0 version.

You can try using field-symbols for assignin string to raw as shown .....

field-symbols: <fs> type x.

assign str to <fs> casting.

raw = <fs>.

Hi suman ,

You need to follow the procedure given below

1) You need to load the class as mentioned below.

syntax : class CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES definition load.

2) Then call the method read_container_c

J_2IEXTRCT-EXTRCTDATA and I_RG23PART1-I_PART1_TYP are the 2 incompatable variables.

Syntax:

call method cl_abap_container_utilities=>read_container_c

exporting IM_CONTAINER = J_2IEXTRCT-EXTRCTDATA

importing EX_VALUE = I_RG23PART1-I_PART1_TYP

exceptions ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_TYPE = 1

others = 2.

Hi Suman,

The RAW datatype cannot be converted to a string type,As RAW type consists of sequence of bytes, so only numerical values can be converted , but in case of char it is not like that.

For any other datatype , u could have easily used MOVE statement.
