Do you have an EBCDIC system with code page 0100? (check it using SNLS transaction)

In that case, CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE is okay.

After having converted to code page 0120 (into xstring), here is how to cast xstring variable to character.

DATA x TYPE x LENGTH 800. " so that to compile, x length
                          " must be a multiple of 4 (don't ask why)
FIELD-SYMBOLS <c> TYPE c.
x = xstring. "make sure x is long enough
ASSIGN x TO <c> CASTING.

BBKF-SGTXT = <c>.
