Hi everyone,
I need to convert some numerical string into a Package field in EBCDIC in order to write a file and send it to some mainframe system. I have using an ABAP proxy like sender and a File adapter like the reciver.
I have made some java function that takes every two characters and merge them into a single byte (like the mainframe can read it). I tested the function and evreything goes well in my PC, but when I create a simple user-defined function and try to make the conversion it writes the characters incorrectly.
But this only happen when the character are < 10.
I mean If I send a 999999 I have in my file This is correct becuase the hexadecimal representation is 99 99 99 9C.
But when I send 123456 I have in my mapping this string ##El but this is incorret because the hexadecimal code is <b>23</b> 23 45 6C and this should be #El hex: <b>01</b> 23 45 6C and I have this correct result when I run it in my PC.
does anybody have any idea why happens this???
or does anybody has another way to solve the problem of the packed fields???
I guess there is an internal conversion in the mapping, and cannot read the characters like 0000 0001.
I really appreciate your help
Thanks
