code conversion error

Former Member — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:47:43 GMT

Hi All,

When we extract the data into apllication server in Unicode system,We encounter a runtime error due to some special characters and non-english characters.

We are getting the runtime error CONVT_CODEPAGE

with exception CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE..

When characters like Ń , Ą ,Ç , 日本

and non-english characters

Japanese,turkish etc...

I am using the

open dataset xx for output in text mode encoding NON-UNICODE.

Is there any way that we avoid the Runtime error.

Thank you.

Hi Kumar,

in order to convert data from Non-Unicode to Unicode properly, you need to know the code page for the Non-Unicode case.

Therefore the first action would be to identify the code page.

After this step, the language can be set accordingly via "set locale <LANG>" in the program (change SY-LANGU). Then you should be able to upload the characters properly.

Also have a look at
