ABAP_DESCRIPTION
This example demonstrates how casting works on predefined data types. First the character string txt is assigned to the field symbol fs without casting. Afterwards, txt is assigned to
fs using casting on types i and x . The value of the second task depends on the byte sequence of the current platform. The paired numbers in the last output row represent the hexadecimal code for the character in txt and depend on the character display of the current application server.
The section of the method that has been commented out also shows the syntax for the relevant obsolete casting .
