unicode and open dataset

Former Member — Thu, 07 Jul 2005 05:20:29 GMT

hi folks,

we're in planning to convert r/3 to unicode and so we made some tests with our applications.

one point we're not sure ist the open dataset IN TEX MODE command; what is the equivalent command for unicode - OPEN DATASET ...IN...TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT ??? or ENCODING UTF-8.

We're then working with files created in non-unicode systems and unicode-systems.

I'm not sure but i thin ENCODING DEFAULT would fit best; any hints are appreciated.

kind regards,

oliver

Hi Oliver,

What you think is correct. You can go ahead with using the DEFAULT addition. If the System is a Unicode system, then DEFAULT and UTF-8 give the same results. If the system is a non- unicode system, DEFAULT and NON-UNICODe additions give you the same result.

You can look at the F1 help for the OPEN DATASET statement for a more detailed explanation.
