Unicode: Is it Possible to convert a string, or text, for Output?

Can you take a string (or text) in Unicode (4 bytes each character),  and by using its string (or text), as input it to a Function Module, or Method, have the string's hex values converted into the old non-unicode value (2 bytes each character) to send to an external system?   
I wish it were this easy, but am finding out it is not. Seems like whenever I run  a process to convert a field (4 bytes) in the new unicode system, to old non-unicode (2 bytes each), and move it back into a field in the unicode system, it automatically  converts it back to 4 bytes automatically?
It is causing issues on the external tergat system that is not using unicode.
     Thank-You.

Not that I know of. But you could convert your text to RAW or XSTRING, and send that value to the external system.

  • Is it possible to convert from string to variant?

    Hi!
    I would like to convert a text string to variant. I'm doing this because I would like to merge a couple of signals and then save all the signals in a lvm-file. Could someone please explain how to convert from text to variant, is it possible?
    Thanks in advance!

    What you are attempting to do is possible, but might not give you the results you expect.  All you need to do is convert your string to an array of U8s using the String to Byte Array conversion primitive.  In the file, you will get a single character per line of the file expressed as the ASCII code.  When you read it, convert to U8s, then use Byte Array to String to get your string back.
    You may also want to read up on LVM files.  There are several places to put strings that work a little better than this.

  • Is it possible to convert a string (eg. 2140) into time in flex?

    Hi.
    I have a form where the user inputs the time into a text input...I want to take that and convert it to time/date...is that possible?

    Hi,
    Did you mean convert "2140" to "21:40"? You can write your own parser/formatter, that takes the string, analyzes it, and puts a colon ":" in appropriate place. Or alternatively you can check this post http://scottrbailey.wordpress.com/2009/05/28/parsing-dates-flex-as3/ . Try the parseTime function, it seems to do exactly what you want.

  • Convert from String to Date for storing in SQL Server 2000

    Hi,
    I've accepted some values from a user using a form in HTML.Now using Servlets I transfer the value to my java code .
    I want to know how can I convert a DATE accepted from the user thats presently in "String" format to the "datetime" format for SQL Server2000.
    Please guide me with some steps and I shall be grateful.
    Thanks

    The java.text.SImpleDateFormat class is most probably of use.
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    String enteredDate = "25/12/2006";
    java.util.Date utilDate = sdf.parse(enteredDate);
    java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());You can then use the java.sql.Date with the "setDate()" method of a prepared statement. This method would be database independant, as you are setting an actual date, not depending on a specific format on the database end.

  • Is it possible to convert inDesign files to jpeg (for web) without fonts breaking up?

    We want to include some of our layouts as case studies on our website. The idea is that a preview image will, on rollover, produce a larger version of the image/layout as part of a case study - full size image dimensions from, say, 400px x 300px. However, using the export command (CS3) produces poor quality text even at 'Maximum' at 300ppi - to say nothing of the unacceptable file size! Site to be constructed in Flash. Any ideas?? Thanks. Alex

    My apologies if I sounded harsh. I didn't mean to be.
    I just wish the world would recognize that there is no such thing as "screen resolution" or "web resolution" in the sense that 72 ppi is an "appropriate" number. When you "save for the web" in Photoshop you are doing any number of things, including downsampling to reduce the number of pixels in the image, and adding compression to make the files smaller still so they will load faster, both of which can make your image useless for print purposes.
    That the default might be to save at 72 ppi is irrelevant -- it's just a convenient number. If you open your freshly saved image in Photoshop and go to the Image Size dialog, uncheck "resample image" and change the resolution, you'll see that the file size and pixel counts remain unchanged (along with the screen dispaly in Photoshop), because the image data is unchanged. All you have done is say "If you choose to print this image at 100% size, it should be x units wide and y units tall, and should have (whatever the the value you used) pixels per unit." You can freely scale this, if you wish, knowing the "effective" resolution varies in reverse proportion to the scaling factor.
    If you put this image on the web, it will have whatever pixels were saved, regardless of how large or small (in print) those pixels would be rendered.

  • It is possible to convert String to XMLDocument?

    I use XML SQL Utility to generate an XML document from the results of a query. I want to apply XSLT on this xml document.

    So, my question is :It is possible to convert String to XMLDocument?

    I realize English is probably not your first language, but you are not really making sense. Perhaps you could use more words and write in more detail.
    It seems you already have your script in AppleScript. Why do you need to convert it to JavaScript?
    It's going to be inconvenient at best and probably not worth anyone's time.
    Just use the AppleScript.
