Handling Double Byte characters

Former Member — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:09:04 GMT

Hi All,

We have a requirement to read Japanese characters from a fixed length file.

The file contains both Single and Double byte characters in a single record.

The file needs to be read by an ABAP program in terms of bytes and it has to be filled into different fields of a structure.

If you have encountered a similar situation , please let me know how it was handled.

Thanks,

Hi,

It isn't possible to say which character use only ony and which two bytes. Are you sure that inside your file these one and two bytes characters are mixed?

Best regards
