You are using a method which returns a binary value as result and you want to convert this value to string.

• SAP Cloud for Customer
• SAP Business ByDesign
• SAP Cloud Applications Studio

You are using a library method to return some values.
E.g: You are using the method EncryptWithHashBasedMessageAuthenticationCode of the library WebServiceUtilities to return values. You need a String as result but this method returns only binary values.

Example:
The binary value contains 164E920F43E495FC62BA3545AE83FBC2D8721FA38170B94CBC694AD9D0999F60

var str = Binary.ToString();
Result: str = "<data><simple><type>String</type><value>"�N��C���b�5E�����r���p�L�iJ��`"</value></simple></data>"

The value in str should be 164E920F43E495FC62BA3545AE83FBC2D8721FA38170B94CBC694AD9D0999F60 of type string.

You can use a variable with data type LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_EXTENDED_Text. In this case you can directly assign the value of your token to the variable, without having to use ToString() function.
The variable with this data type will storage the string representation of the binary hexadecimal value.

You can use this string representation as parameter for the method EncryptWithHashBasedMessageAuthenticationCode.
