Alternate of 'Translate Codepage' in ECC 6.0

Question

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I found that it is obsolete in ECC 6.0 and I am supposed to use the class CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE  and the method CONVERT_STRUC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