UNICODE text

Former Member — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 12:55:47 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to upload some UNICODE text from an excel sheet into a UNICODE SAP system. It is done through a Visual Basic program and RFC.

I pass on the UNICODE string but it does not show up properly in SAP. A few things that I am not able to figure out:

1. Do I need a byte order mark (like FF FE for UTF-16) before my UNICODE data?

2. Do I need some specific settings in SAP logon related to "Language preferences" or "Encoding for Upload/Download"

BTW, I tried and was able to simply copy UNICODE text from excel and paste it on my SAP text field.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

We do that as describeed:

- in sapgui - set for system - unicodeEnebled.

- Save your excel as text unicode.

- upload to sap with GUI_UPLOAD

It works fine.

if you want upload an excel file to SAP please using ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE function.

I hope this function can be useful for you.
