Encrypt and Decrypt FM FIEB* - does not work why?

Question

Dear All,
I am trying to use FM FIEB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPT
for encrypt it encrypts same as "{zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba`_^ for all the strings passed  this is bit wierd.
Again I used FM FIEB_PASSWORD_DECRYPT to decrypt "{zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba`_^ "
but no joy ...this does not decrypt at all.
This can be achieved by CALL METHOD cl_http_utility BUT I DO NOT USE OO STUFF ALL
Please advise I am using the correct function modules ...or throw me light on this .
Many thanks in advance.
cheers

Answer 1

Sometimes those function modules do not work depending on the OS and kernal.  Try using the class you mentioned.  Here is a example program.
report  zrich_0001.
data: password  type string.
password = 'thispassword2006'.
write:/ password.
call method cl_http_utility=>if_http_utility~encode_base64
  exporting
    unencoded = password
  receiving
    encoded   = password.
write:/ password.
call method cl_http_utility=>if_http_utility~decode_base64
  exporting
    encoded = password
  receiving
    decoded = password.
write:/ password.
