Problem in converting Unicode to Non-Unicode

Former Member — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 06:52:41 GMT

Hi All,

I am downloading Norwegian characters in a file. The file is saved at the application server, (AL11). I am able to see the Norwegian Charaters here.

When I am downloading the file to the presentation server and open the file in Notepad, the Norwegian characters are being displayed.

The problem is, when i am trying to open the file in MS-DOS Editor, I am not able to see the Norwegian characters.

Can anyone, please help me in solving this problem.

Thanks and Regards,

Harish Kalla

Hi Harish,

MS-DOS Editor may not have suitable code page to decrypt the certain non-english characters.

You may try your luck using these options..

1>Open dataset ....encoding non-unicode

2>Try using opening the files in Unix server using FTP Client..if you want to use the file...

3>>use the program RSCP_CONVERT_FILE to convert the file from one code page to the other..to open it

Actually what is the purpose u are opening the file in MS-DOS ..I could suggest any alternative
