Download STRING/XSTRING to a file

Hi.

I have two variables (string and xstring types and content) with data obtained from a API response. The variable lv_responseissue contains Bin data of a ZIP file. The variable lv_responseissue_x contains xstring data of a ZIP file:

I need to download the content to a file, but I dont have a itab DATA_TAB because the API response has stored data to a string and xstring variables. How can I download this content to a file without the DATA_TAB? Or how can I create the DATA_TAB itab from any of the variables? I need to download a file for UNZIP after and open some files which are inside the ZIP file.

Thanks in advance.

If I search this:

Download STRING/XSTRING to a file site:sap.com

I see many answers and I can quickly find a good one with code.

Also, you can search "convert STRING to iTAB site:sap.com" or "convert XSTRING to iTAB site:sap.com" and you'll get many answers.

But my preferred way to convert are the methods from CL_BCS_CONVERT because it's quite an official way (BCS API).
