Long Text in SAP Analytics cloud

[atair_camargo]

Hello

I would like to perform text analyses and analytics using R in SAP Analytics cloud.

The text is stored on STXL table.

My question is:

is it possible to convert the binary data (CLUSTD) back to long text using SAC?

I have seen the function BINTOSTR on HANA, but I am not sure if it is possible.

I appreciate your help

Hi yoganandamuthaiah.

Thanks for your input. But we would like to extract and convert the data using only SAP Analytics Cloud, so this way we avoid creating multiple data storages.
