XSTRING to PrintPreview

Hello Guru's
i got a little Question: I created multiple PDF-Forms with Adobe Interactive Forms. After that i merged them to 1 Single PDF with PDFTK. Right now i got the merged PDF type XSTRING as return value.
Now i want this XSTRING to be displayed in the PrintPreview INSTEAD of the multiple single PDF Pages.
Any ideas?

Adobe Forms function module - downloading the xstring output in PDF file

Hi Guys,
I'm using Adobe forms and fetching its output in an XSTRING PDF format. How can I download this XSTRING output to a PDF file and store on the local file system?
I'm using the following approach to getting a PDF output:

CHANGING
    ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams.

Now, the variable LS_FORM_OUTPUT-PDF contains the PDF output in XSTRING. My question is how can I download this as a PDF file to my local machine.

PrintPreview for a GridControl ?

Hello guys,
I like to show a PrintPreview of a
GridControl. So user could see the style of
GridControl before printing.
I found a peace of code as a class that
we can instantiate it to view a printPreviw
of a "JTable". It works fine when I pass
JTable as a Printable job to the
my PrintPreview class.
That's a valuable code which every body can use it(I paste it below).
But I could not Print Preview a GridControl.

Ali,
The piece you are missing is the code to get the JTable that is underlying your GridControl. You do this as follows:
JTable tableView = myGridControl.getTable();

How can I extract the data from Xstring .

Hi Gurus ,
How can I extract the data from a XSTRING .
I have to get the data which is filled in the survey form the data is getting saved in form of xstring .
Someone told me that there is a standard FM for that . but I am not able to find .
Please reply with the FM in case some one knows about it .
Thanks in advance .

The following code works as of 7.0 (in any SAP system):
FORM XSTRING_TO_STRING USING input TYPE xstring CHANGING output TYPE string.
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_struc,
          line TYPE c LENGTH 100,
        END OF ty_struc.
DATA lt_char TYPE TABLE OF ty_struc.
DATA length TYPE i.
length = xstrlen( input ) / cl_abap_char_utilities=>charsize.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
    buffer                = input
tables
    binary_tab            = lt_char.
CONCATENATE LINES OF lt_char INTO output RESPECTING BLANKS.
output = output(length).
ENDFORM.

Convert XString to String and String to IWDResource

Hi everybody,
we want to open a PDF-Document from Backend in Web Dynpro. For the communication we use a Web Service.
In Backend we have a PDF-Document with data type XSTRING.
1. In Backend we convert the PDF-Document from XSTRING to STRING in order to send it via Web Service
2. Then we call the Web Service and pass by the STRING param
3. In Web Dynpro we convert the value from STRING to Bytes, like below:
IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createResource( myPDFStringFromWS.getBytes(), "Doc1", WDWebResourceType.PDF);
4. We bind the Resource to a FileDownload-UI.
Unfortunately we get the error message: Document is not a valid PDF
How can we convert a String to IWDResource? Could the problem be in our first step, where we convert the XSTRING into STRING?
regards,
Sid

Hello Sid,
IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(new ByteArrayInputStream(wdContext.currentFileElement().getString()),"PDF",WDWebResourceType.PDF,true);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.toString(),"PDF");
window.show();
Can you try this and let us know.
Regards

Create image of XSTRING data and display it in Web Dynpro

Hello,
I am trying to dynamically display an image in a Web Dynpro ABAP Image-Control. The problem is that the data is stored in the DB as XSTRING and I can't find a Method for example to create a new object in the MIME-Repository of the data which is read out of the DB at runtime.
I have already converted the XSTRING into w3mime-Format with the function module RSFO_XSTRING_TO_MIME, but the Control needs a string of a url to display the image (for example to a MIME-Object of the component or a link to a file on the ITS).
Is there somehow a possibility to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Kolja

Im getting the xstring value from excel sheet using file upload in WEB UI.
The class used is CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD and the attribute is FILE_CONTENT which is of type XSTRING.
I have few special characters in the excel sheet which i need as string.
I have modified this FM CRM_IC_XML_XSTRING2STRING to convert the Xstrin gto string... but stilll the replacement is not working.
Can anyone suggest me...Any different solution i can use to get the file upload in string. Or get the characters from Xstring
Useful answers are much apprieciated.
Thanx in advance
Siva.

Hey,
Why dont you check this method
ECATT_CONV_STRING_TO_XSTRING. Not sure whether it supports special characters or not
Regards,
Vinay

Messy code problem while translating XString to String in OfficeControl

Hi Expert,
I have messy code problem while translating XString to String in XML-Format Word Doc in OfficeControl.
I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
core source code is as:
clear itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
BUFFER = lv_datas
IMPORTING
OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
TABLES
binary_tab = itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
EXPORTING
input_length = lv_length
mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
IMPORTING
text_buffer = lv_datas_string
output_length = lv_data_len
TABLES
binary_tab = itab.
Can you give me some advice?
Many thanks in advance.

Error converting XSTRING to STRING (unicode, codepage)

Hi all,
I have a problem converting data from an external file into SAP.
The file is uploaded via an application created in web dynpro, where I use the upload functionality. This returns the file in the XSTRING format, and then use the following to convert (where l_xstring is the file and l_string is how I want the file):
l_string TYPE string,
l_xstring TYPE xstring,
convt = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = l_xstring ).
convt->read( IMPORTING data = l_string ).
This worked perfectly - until I recieved a file containing russian characters
The SAP system (BI) is in Unicode, so this should be ok.
I get a:
CONVT_CODEPAGE
CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE
Error, when trying to run it.
Also the following migth be helpful:
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
The running ABAP program 'CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE============CP' had to be
terminated as the conversion
would have produced incorrect data.
The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
be converted), is 18141. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
I have tried setting the codepage parameter of the READ method, but to no success.
Anyone ??

Friend,
Call the FM like below....
CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
EXPORTING
    IM_XSTRING        = x
   IM_ENCODING       = 'UTF-8'
IMPORTING
   EX_STRING         = x.

FM to convert XString to String

I am developing an simple application to upload an excel file and display its contents in a table in Solution manager using Web dynpro.
But 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING' is not avaiable in DS1.
Can you help me find a replacement for this function module.
TYPES :
       BEGIN OF str_itab,
       name(10) TYPE c,
       age(10) TYPE c,
       END OF str_itab.
       DATA : t_table1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF str_itab,
         i_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF string,
         lo_nd_sflight TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
         lo_el_sflight TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
         l_string TYPE char200,
         fs_table TYPE str_itab,
         l_xstring TYPE char200,
         fields TYPE string_table,
         lv_field TYPE string.
       DATA : t_table TYPE if_main=>elements_data_tab,
         data_table TYPE if_main=>elements_data_tab.
get single attribute
         wd_context->get_attribute(
         EXPORTING      name = `DATASOURCE`
           IMPORTING      value = l_xstring ).
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      in_xstring = l_xstring
    IMPORTING
      out_string = l_string.
SPLIT l_string AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline INTO TABLE i_data.
Bind With table Element.
LOOP AT i_data INTO l_string.
    SPLIT l_string AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab INTO TABLE fields.    READ TABLE fields INTO lv_field INDEX 1.
    fs_table-name = lv_field.    READ TABLE fields INTO lv_field INDEX 2.
    fs_table-age = lv_field.    APPEND fs_table TO t_table1.
ENDLOOP.
lo_nd_sflight = wd_context->get_child_node( 'DATA_TAB' ).
lo_nd_sflight->bind_table( t_table1 ).
Thanks in advance

It is not appropriate to ask general ABAP questions such as this in the Web Dynpro ABAP Forum. As your punishment I will help with your question.
In this sample buffer is the XSTRING, text_buffer is the string. You have to supply an encoding to tell the system what codepage/unicode type the XSTRING is.
data: convin type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
      call method cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create
        exporting
           encoding    = encoding
           input       = buffer
        receiving
          conv        = convin.
      call method convin->read
        importing
          data = text_buffer.
