Character set table for unicode conversion

Former Member — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:09:42 GMT

Experts,

If one identifies a special character that fails during code page conversion (CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE), can this character then be added into a table that will recongnize it and not fail moving forward? If so, how to go about it?

Any help is appreciated.

Note this

Unicode Error : In the Unicode context, TRANSLATE... CODEPAGE/NUMBER FORMAT is not allowed.

Before Unicode

TRANSLATE T143T-TBTXT FROM CODE PAGE '1100' TO CODE PAGE '1105'.

After Unicode

Use class for Translate codepage to codepage.

Data : g_codepage LIKE tcp0c-charco VALUE '1100'.

CONSTANTS: c_unicodecp(4) VALUE '1105'.

PERFORM translate_codepage USING g_codepage

c_unicodecp

CHANGING T143T.

FORM translate_codepage USING P_G_CODEPAGE

P_C_UNICODECP

CHANGING P_T143T.

DATA: converter TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_obj.

DATA: l_out TYPE string.

DATA: l_fromcode TYPE cpcodepage.

DATA: l_tocode TYPE cpcodepage.

l_fromcode = P_G_CODEPAGE.

l_tocode = P_C_UNICODECP.

Thanks FY. But this still requires coding. I was thinking in terms of character set admin in transaction SPAD / SP12 or tables like TCP00. Is that possible?

This type of approach may automatically take care of 100s of programs in the system. Share your thoughts.

No solution.
