Carriage Return problem in Long Text

[Former Member]

Hi

I am tyring to download Long text for Interactions (CBIH82) transaction. I am using read_text function module. The read text works fine as far as reading text but the internal table for TDLINE contains two hashes (##) in everyline which is actually a carriage return character (hex value 0A0D). Now when i pass this line to GUI_DOWNLOAD it splits the text at the hashes and wirtes it in a new line for the .txt file.

We tried most of the string operations but it fails to read the ## as it is not actually two hashes but character representation of Carriage return. Is there any function module avaliable to get it converted to a character format.

Hi shashank,

1. u can use the concept of (carriage + line feed)

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF

for replacing the character/splitting etc.

2. eg.

REPORT ABC.

data : m(10) type c.

m = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.

Hi,

Please try with the FM 'STPU1_HEX_TO_CHAR'.

Hi Shashank,

You could do this -

Run a search for the character cl_gui_char_utilities=>cr_lf and remove it. ( Know its too simple, but worth a try )

Yes but the system we have does not have the class cl_gui_char_utilities. anyways solved it using the split and the hexadecimal representation of the Carriage return line feed.

If you dont have access to the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES, do this instead:

DATA: crlf(2)   TYPE x VALUE '0D0A',
      itab      TYPE TABLE OF string,
      w_input   TYPE string.

   w_input = '<contains the text with the line feed.>'.

   SPLIT w_input AT crlf INTO TABLE itab.
