Problem with 'CONVERT_OTF'

Former Member — Thu, 19 May 2011 11:14:12 GMT

Hi,

We send email confi to the customer along with a PDF attachment that contains the information regarding the material, quantity, price etc. In the program I used CONVERT_OTF to convert OTF format to PDF and sending the mail using 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'. The problem is, the material number 'VJ0402A3К3KXJ' is converted to 'VJ0402A33KXJ' (observe carefully character 'K' 9th position is removed ) automatically.

Similarly 'VJ0402A7К7KXJ' is converted to 'VJ0402A77KXJ' ;'VJ0402A9К9KXJ' is converted to 'VJ0402A99KXJ' .

We do not have any material conversion in the program logic. Can you please let me know the reason/solution?

Thanks in advance,

Arjun

Please check the Material converison in your system.

I confirmed that the conversion is happening in the function module 'CONVERT_OTF'.

Arjun,

That is not a "K" (Unicode Character 'Latin Capital Letter K' (U004B)). It is a different character "К". I believe it is Unicode Character 'Cyrillic Capital Letter KA' (U041A). On a windows machine, ALT+41A

It is usually undesirable from a business perspective to mix similar Roman and Cyrillic characters in the same object. It sounds like your conversion routine is not expecting Cyrillic characters. Before you invest much time with this, ensure that the Material number has been properly created.
