Unicode coversion

Former Member — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:24:05 GMT

Hi experts,

I have a unicode issue with webmethods...

First:

From SAP 4.7 Non-unicode system i sent the data through RFC to webmethods, everything was fine.

Second:

From ECC 6.0 A UniCode system, i sent the data through same RFC, made it as Unicode, to webmethods. But i am getting only half of the data.

Ex: field1 is 10 characters length.

field1 = 'ABCDE12345'.

In webmethods i am getting only 'ABCDE'.

i came to know that unicode takes 1 char = 2 bytes..

so pls help me to come out of this issue?

Regards

Giri

Can you change the type of your RFC Parameter to STRING instead of CHAR?

Hi,

Can u send sample code,where the value's getting truncated.

i think it's not the problem with the char field lenght.

cheers

In the RFC, i would keep type CHAR but change your length from 10 to 20 to accomodate the Unicode.
