Code Conversion Error

colin_cheong — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 07:06:28 GMT

Before UNICODE conversion, my Z program is able to output the article description onto a text file in my UNIX system.

After Unicode conversion, it seems that there are some hex.value recognized by the current unicode codepage 4102 but cannot be found in codepage 8400 (my output in Unix).

I wanted to create a program to read in the description and check if it can be convertible to code page 8400.

If it cannot, then I would dump a report and get my admin to modify the description.

My question is,

Is there a standard SAP function whereby I could passed in the text, codepage_from and codepage_To and it would be able to throw an error if it is not convertible.

Thanks

Bye

Hi ,

Will you please Explain clearly , yes unicode Conversion creates problem while reading File content so

as per that we have to use some other code as per ecc 6.0 .

such as while reading.txt file in which there is TAB generated Symbol which cannot be recognised due to hexadecimals value so in that case you have to use cl_abap_char_utilities=> tab_horizontal .

will you explain what you are doing .

Regards

Deepak.

Hello,

You may have a look at the function module SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS and check if that helps by filling in the incode and outcode paramters with the respective code pages. If this function module raises a exception you can assume that the translation cannot take place.
