language specific characters

Former Member — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:05:05 GMT

Hi All,

I need help regarding the language specific characters.

From a flat file data is updated to sap table thru a Function module . The data has characters in languages like portugese, french like ó ç ã but when the data from the file is loaded into sap it gets stored as # instead of ó or ç or ã .

For example. i want to store it as Qualificações but it is appearing as Qualifica##es

Is there any function module or code to encode the same. Please send

Thanks in advance

Hi,

While saving the TEXT file(Flat File), during the SAVE AS option, select ENCODING as "UTF-8".

If the file is placed on presentation server, also ensure that the necessary language is also download on presentation server.

Best regards,

Prashant
