Handling multiple languages

Hi all ,

I am having a text DATA1 which is a mixture of english and japanese.

I need to store it in a variable VAR of type C and length 15.

If data1 = 血液型ar .., it's length is 8. ( Japanese text are considered as 2 bytes )

So , when assigning DATA1 to VAR , VAR = 血液型arXXXXXXX. ( X represents the space )

But , what is happening is , VAR = 血液型arXXXXXXXXXX. ( extra spaces are added , as Japanese letters are taken as single byte ).

Can anyone please provide solution for this ?

I don't really understand what you mean. If your SAP system is Unicode, all characters are 2 bytes (*). So the result you obtain is correct.

EDIT: (*)

except a Unicode character in the range U+010000 U+10FFFF which occupies 2 characters.

If I take your first character “血”, it's U+8840, so it occupies 1 character.
