String data passed from SAP to SUP converting to Hex

[former_member239323]

I am passing data to my MBO to be used in a mobile workflow, the data type from SAP is type String passing in to a type String in the MBO. The data from SAP has been encoded in Base64 to be used in the AttachmentViewer. When I preview the function module in the MBO, the string of data is correct in the Base64 format. However, when i view it on a mobile workflow screen, it looks like the data has been converted from the Base64 to Hex. I have another string in the function module that is working correctly, any ideas what would case this conversion to Hex?

Hi Jeff,

We tried Attachment viewer with workflow. It worked for us.

However, we tried it with SQL anywhere backend and the format was Base64 encoding. I don't have access to SUP now;however, if I can recall you have to properly mention the attributes for attachment viewer in SUP workflow editor. Please check the attribute settings once.

The conversion from Base64 to Hex doesn't seem to have anything to do with the AttachmentViewer, it looks to be converting when the BAPI is 1st called from SAP. I put an EditBox on my screen just to see the data and I can see there that it has been converted to Hex. It works correctly in the MBO preview so I'm fairly confident that the BAPI is correct.
