BAPI double byte characters issue

Former Member — Mon, 12 Dec 2005 09:46:50 GMT

Hi,

I am testing a BAPI call through ActiveX to retrieve data from R/3. However, when retrieving data from a table, the data with chinese characters will become '###' in it content, but all non-chinese data is fine. I believe it was caused by automatic conversion of characters. I have search a lot of threads but still can't find answer. Could anyone give me a hint how could I do? Thanks a lot.

My environment is, SAP R/3 4.6 with unicode activated. Client with Windows XP chinese version. Any hint is appreciated.

Daniel.

I have figured it out. I didn't set the code page to 4110. That will solve the problem.

I also need to figure out that you will need to use OLE Object "SAP.BAPI.Unicode.1" instead of "SAP.BAPI.1" in order to active unicode processing.

Hope this could help anyone who have the same problem as me.
