open dataset binary

Hi,

I've a problem with the open dataset command and the german umlauts (ä, ö, ü)

here's my coding:


*file is a csv-text file (UTF-8)

DATA: datab LIKE solix OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.


  OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN legacy binary  mode.
                                                                                DO.
    READ DATASET file INTO datab.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
                                                                                append datab to binary_content.
                                                                                ENDDO.

**     add the binary table  as attachment to document object
      document->add_attachment(
        i_attachment_type    =  p_typ                       "#EC NOTEXT
        i_attachment_subject = 'Meldeliste'                 "#EC NOTEXT
        i_attachment_size    = size
        i_att_content_hex    = binary_content ).

all worked fine, besides the german umlauts (ä, ö, ü)

I get faulty signs like Ã¼

can anyone help.

which addition I must add to the open datset - command

or must I convert the datab-field?

Hi Andreas,

have you tried to open dataset with code page UTF-8?

it should be OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN legacy binary mode CODE PAGE cp.

I don't remember which is the cp for utf...

Hope this could be helpful

Andrea

Here maybe there are the encoding
