toMultiByte

The 'toMultiByte' command is used to encode text returned by a call command into multibyte characters so that a non-Unicode R/3 system can process the data. The syntax is as follows.

      var z_DesiredText = "original_string";
      var z_ToSendToRFCCall = "IPC"+toMultiByte(z_DesiredText);

Note: The 'z_DesiredText' value contains the characters that will be changed to multibyte. The 'z_ToSendToRFCCall' variable contains the value after it has been changed into multibyte characters.

Options

The 'toMultiByte' command does not take any options.

Example

To demonstrate the 'toMultiByte' method, please do the following.

Open the script file for the SAP Easy Access screen and enter the following code.

for(a=firstChild; a!=null; a=a.nextSibling)
	a.del( );
var z_abc = "*&#12362;&#21270;&#12369;&#23627;&#25975;*";

To correct this problem, you will use the 'toMultiByte' command in your script. The non-unicode characters in the string would be converted to multibyte character representation for a non-unicode R/3 server to interpret the data correctly. The revised code is as follows.
```
for(a=firstChild; a!=null; a=a.nextSibling)
	a.del( );
var z_abc = "*&#12362;&#21270;&#12369;&#23627;&#25975;*";
var z_ToSendToRFCCall = "IPC"+toMultiByte(z_abc);
```
