Conversion & Encoding

Helpers for converting between binary, text and date representations.

conv_get_xstring_by_string

UTF-8 encode a string to xstring.

DATA(lv_x) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_get_xstring_by_string( 'Hello' ).

conv_get_string_by_xstring

Decode an xstring (UTF-8) back into a string.

DATA(lv_text) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_get_string_by_xstring( lv_xstring ).

conv_encode_x_base64

Base64-encode an xstring to a string.

DATA(lv_b64) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_encode_x_base64( lv_xstring ).

conv_decode_x_base64

Decode a Base64 string back to an xstring.

DATA(lv_x) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_decode_x_base64( lv_b64 ).

conv_get_xlsx_by_itab

Render any internal table to an XLSX xstring (uses the platform's spreadsheet API).

DATA(lv_xlsx) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_get_xlsx_by_itab( lt_flights ).

See also XLSX / Excel.

conv_get_itab_by_xlsx

Parse an XLSX xstring back into an internal table (returned as a typed data reference).

DATA lr_data TYPE REF TO data.
zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_get_itab_by_xlsx(
    EXPORTING val    = lv_xlsx
    IMPORTING result = lr_data ).

conv_string_to_date

Parse a date string into ABAP d.

DATA(lv_date) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_string_to_date(
    val    = '2025-12-31'
    format = 'YYYY-MM-DD' ). " default format

conv_date_to_string

Render an ABAP d to a date string.

DATA(lv_iso) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_date_to_string(
    val    = sy-datum
    format = 'YYYY-MM-DD' ).

conv_get_as_data_ref

Return a generic REF TO data pointing at the given value (handy for dynamic calls).

DATA(lr_ref) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_get_as_data_ref( ls_flight ).

conv_copy_ref_data

Create an independent copy of any value as a fresh REF TO data.

DATA(lr_copy) = zabaputil_cl_util=>conv_copy_ref_data( from = ls_source ).
