FM to convert character type to hexadecimal type

I have to make an object unicode compliant .
in the object the password is created using paskey and bcode.
Bcode contains all alphanumeric or alphabets.
and paskey is numeric.
to create password passkey and bcode are subtracted bit by bit.
now the problem is that i am not able to convert the Bcode to numeric type.
hence at the line where subtraction is starting.
its giving runtime error.
Can anyone help me to convert the alphnumeric chartcters to numeric...hexdecimal type.
Is there any FM or any code , plz tell me.
Its urgent.
Thanks and regards,
Prachi

Prachi,
Check the below FM'S
NLS_STRING_CONVERT_TO_SYS( Hex to char)
and NLS_STRING_CONVERT_FROM_SYS (char to hex)

Function module to convert character type to required data type

Hi,
Is there a function module which can convert data in character type to any other required data type?
Like i have a date 12.2.2008 and it is stored as character now i want to convert it into type d.
so that when i use
Describe field <field_name> type <type>.
statement afterwards then it gives me D not C as its data type.
The requirement does'nt stick to conversion of just one data type.I need an FM which can convert data in character type to any data type.
Hope you understood the problem.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Use the code.
data : date like sy-datum.
call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
exporting
    date_external                  = '01.01.2008'
IMPORTING
   DATE_INTERNAL                  = date
EXCEPTIONS
   DATE_EXTERNAL_IS_INVALID       = 1
   OTHERS                         = 2
if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.

You can trap the exception as follows:

How to convert strings into character type?

I have created a function module which will display the attributes of the fields of the structure/table by using "DESCRIBE FIELD" command. The problem is that it supports only character-type data objects and the program goes into dump
if the structure contain any string type.

Please have a look at class CL_ABAP_DATADESCR. Using this instances of this class should provide all information needed...

However,when i am runnig my ADF page in the Filed called "PHOTO" I can only see a junk character stating 'yoyo'.
When I click on it, it says ERROR "Cannot convert ÿØÿà of type class java.lang.String to class oracle.jbo.domain.BFileDomain".
Your help will be appreciated ASAP.

Hi,
did you show the id-value in the user interface as a input-component, and did the input-component include a converter?
If yes, show the id as output-text and remove any existing converter-components.

In 6.0 get error "END_OF_RECORD" must be a character-type data object .....

following piece of code was working fine in 4.6 C   but in ECC 6.0 I get the following error:

Converting CHAR type to other data types

Dear SDN users,
would any of you know how to convert a CHAR data type to other data types for example hexadecimal etc., and convert them back? I suspect there must be some standard FMs available.
Thankyou for your responses.
Regards,
Smitha

Hello smitha ,
I suppose you are assigning some variable of char type to a variable of integer type it will automaticaly (implicitly ) convert the type .
in some case we need to change the type explicitly like the above mentiioned .
Thanks and regards ..

It takes place when I open a sales document, or browse previous docs. When browsing previous docs, it onlly happens on some of them.
I also receive a different error when viewing sales orders: Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric (CRD2).
Any ideas how to fix it?
It does not limit me from processing and using the rest of the functionality. All calculations with queries in the docs are still working.
Thanks.

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

>> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

Hi,
I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks & Regards.
Naveen.

hello Naveen,
since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
"f".
In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type
"BBP_PDS_CTR_HEADER_D". The
current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
regarded as non-character-type.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Points will be awared for appropriate Answers.

Hi,
I think here ls_header and lv_filename are not compatible to transfer the data.
