BRFplus: Convert Readable String to Range or Constant Object

104 Views

Hi,

in BRFplus (NW 7.0 EHP1 SP5), there is a nifty method IF_FDT_ADMIN_DATA~TO_STRING that can be used to convert an expression (say, a cell value in a Decision Table) to a readable string.

Examples:

ABC
[ABC*]
[AB..AZ]
[1.2 MM..3.2MM]

Does anyone know if there is a method to do the opposite ? That is, convert a readable string to a constant / range / value object that can be stored in a Decision Table ?

Ideally I would like to be able to upload data from a spreadsheet file into a Decision Table. I know this functionality comes in EHP2, but I don't know that we can wait for EHP2 to be implemented on our system. I am assuming that the upload/download functionality cannot be pre-installed in EHP1.

Thanks & regards,

Grogan
