Background documentation writeEnc Function Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

Writes output to the HTML page, converting all non-alphanumeric characters to hexadecimal.

Syntax

writeEnc ( <expression> {, <expression>})

Description

The writeENC function works like write , except that the output is encoded according to URL requirements.

This function lets you construct URLs correctly from fields that contain spaces and special characters. All non-alphanumeric characters (such as spaces and special characters) are converted to their hexadecimal equivalents.

Example

The following example illustrates the difference between write and writeEnc .

Using write , you could write:

<a href="http://pn0208/scripts/any.dll?matbez=`write(matbez[j])`&quantity=1">

The least favorable expansion of this code is:

<a href="http://pn0208/scripts/any.dll?matbez=Large Chairs&quantity=1">

Spaces like the one in Large Chairs are not permitted in URLs.

However, using writeEnc , you could write:

<a href="http://pn0208/scripts/any.dll?matbez=`writeEnc(matbez[j])`&quantity=1">

The following is completely correct, because the strings Large and Chairs have been separated by the code for a space:

<a href="http://pn0208/scripts/any.dll?matbez=Large%20Chairs&quantity=1">
