i hope it can be done by calling the function module 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'.

@ vinodh hey i've tried that fm. it works fine, creates an xstring. BUT it doesnt convert the Image (BMP) -file into an xstring. Instead it just convertst the string url-text ;(

@Mrinmoy Dutta . thx i will try that. Did you think about any special method of that class to help me?

Hello,

Please check this emthod GET_BDS_GRAPHIC_AS_BMP. This used to convert BMP to xstring.

But you are using url..so check once..

Hi thomas,

You can also see this FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING and is modify it according to your need. That will convert as you expected. It takes bitmap image as input and outputs as XSTRING.

I used class (not standard) ZCL_ABAP_BITMAP which uses FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING

Hi,

Check this class "CL_SSF_XSF_UTILITIES" if it helps you.

Thanks,
