It supports unicode.(i mean that file will be uploded correctly if written as unicode file)

Your problem is probably that in one text file you can use only one CODE PAGE.

Hi,

Check This out

The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access~~>Development~~>Function Builder~~>Goto~~>Documentation.

Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hi,

U Have to use CodePage Parameter to upload the data.

Check the Description

Character Representation for Output

Description

Use parameter CODEPAGE to specify the desired source codepage. If this parameter is not set, the codepage of the SAP GUI is used as the source codepage.

Value range

4-digit number of the SAP codepage. The function module SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME provides the SAP codepage number for an external character set name, for example, "iso-8859-1". The function module NLS_GET_FRONTEND_CP provides the respective non-Unicode frontend codepage for a language.

The desired codepage can be determined interactively, if the parameter with_encoding of method file_open_dialog is set by cl_gui_frontend_services.

If the specified codepage is not suited for the Byte Order Mark of the file, an exception is triggered.

SPACE: Codepage of the frontend operating system

Default

SPACE

with not set codepage it should work ok too.

I have polish front end and no problem with uploading russian text (different code page) to sap, without code page parameter set.
