Invalid char # replacement

[fgfgfg3r43456534]

I am retrieving some binary data from a table, decompressing and then converting to string with code page 0160, but I have issues with accented characters as it does not get recognized. Have tried multiple codepages (present in TCP00) but without any luck. 

Is there any workaround for this?

TRY.
    cl_abap_gzip=>decompress_binary(
      EXPORTING
        gzip_in     = lv_xstring
        gzip_in_len = -1
      IMPORTING
        raw_out     = lv_xstring
    ).

  CATCH cx_parameter_invalid_range.
  CATCH cx_sy_buffer_overflow.
  CATCH cx_sy_compression_error.
ENDTRY.

DATA(rv_data) = cl_bcs_convert=>xstring_to_string(
  iv_xstr = lv_xstring
  iv_cp   = '0120' ).

Do you even know which accentuated character you have? Which code page is expected in the zip file, known or unknown? You can make it work for one test file, but what about the files which will be made available in production.

Do you actually require an EBCDIC code page

• 0120 'EBCDIC 0697/0500 Latin-1, Multilangual'
• 0160 'EBCDIC character set '7B' pur'

From which system type and how was the binary file created and sent?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your question and sorry for the late reply.

You may want to try to modify your code and use UTF-8:

DATA(rv_data) = cl_bcs_convert=>xstring_to_string(
  iv_xstr = lv_xstring
  iv_cp   = 'UTF-8' ).

Please also check XString.

Kind regards,

Henrike
