Alternate of 'Translate Codepage' in ECC 6.0

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am having problem with the syntax of the below statement

TRANSLATE itab TO CODE PAGE P_PCODE

*----

---

where

P_PCODE containscodepage value for UNIX file system I guess.

and ITAB is

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

RECTYP(1) TYPE C,

DATA(1000) TYPE C,

END OF ITAB.

*----

---

I found that it is obsolete in ECC 6.0 and I am supposed to use the class CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE and the method CONVERT_STRUC

But when I import the signature of this method to pass the parameter I can not make out which parameter to pass.Can you suggest on this. Reward points guaranteed.

CALL METHOD me->CONVERT_STRUC

EXPORTING

DATA =

VIEW =

• IMPORTING

• BUFFER =

• TRUNCATION_FLAG =

This is signature of this method ( I am avoiding the try n catch part)

If you have any alternate solution please suggests.

Hello Anid,

Did you read the documentation of the class cl_abap_conv_out_ce?

The usage of the method to convert codepages of structures is described including this code sample:

DATA:
  BEGIN OF struc,
    text(5) TYPE c,
    int TYPE i,
  END OF struc.

DATA:
  buffer TYPE xstring,
  conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_out_ce,
  view TYPE REF TO cl_abap_view_offlen.

view = cl_abap_view_offlen=>create_legacy_view( struc ).

conv = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create(
                            encoding = '0120'
                            endian = 'B' ).

struc-text = 'Abc12'.
struc-int  = 65538.
conv->convert_struc( EXPORTING data = struc
                               view = view
                     IMPORTING buffer = buffer ).

I think this should be adaptable to your question.

best regards,

Sven
