Unicode - problem

jrgkraus — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:38:13 GMT

Hello to all,

I am looking for a way to check whether a given character in a unicode system can be converted into a certain codepage or not. Maybe there is even a function module, that marks all the non-printable characters in a string with the '#'-sign...

thangs for researching

Hi,

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

Hi Jörg.

TRANSLATE c TO CODE PAGE g2.

should raise a sy-subrc <> 0 if not convertible.

Clemens
