How to convert ASCII to CHAR?

[Former Member]

Hi, experts.

Now I want to convert ASCII to CHAR, can you give me some methods? And I also want to know what's my ABAP Version.

Thanks in advance!

And I have tried this method:

data : i type i value 66.

data : x type x.

data : c type c.

field-symbols : <fc> type c.

move i to x.

assign x to <fc> casting type c.

move <fc> to c.

write c.

But the compiler give me this error:The length of 'X' in bytes must be a multiple of the a Unicode character(regardless of the size of the Unicode character).

Hi, all.

I didn't check Parminder's method, but I think that FM wouldn't help me, because FM CONVERT_ASCII_TO_ITF's short text is 'Text Conversion ASCII to ITF (SAPscript Format)'. And the other ansers I have already checked, and the compiler will give an error which I have written in the second reply.

Maybe the version of ABAP cause this problem. Can you tell me how to know the version?

*going from A to 65

data : c value 'A'.

field-symbols : <n> type x.

data : rn type i.

assign c to <n> casting.

move <n> to rn.

write rn.

*going from 66 to B

data : i type i value 66.

data : x type x.
