Calling RFC Function Module in UNICODE System from Non Unicode-Lotus Notes

[Former Member]

hello

I am making an RFC call from Lotus Notes (Non-Unicode) to SAP which is a Unicode system. The data coming to Lotus Notes is kind of mixed bcos of the codepage.

The Table parameter in Function module contains the structure which has fields of CHAR type. SAP tells not to use CHAR, since it will transfer data in 2 bytes. I tried replacing with String, but Function Module doesn't accept the structure with fields of STRING type.

Any one faced this problem or any one has a solution, let me know

All depends on the connector between Lotus Notes and SAP you are using. What connector do you use? Is this connector Unicode-ready? Can you set a special flag to signal "this is a Unicode SAP system"? Most connectors rely on the functionality in "librfc32.dll" - for full Unicode support you'll need the connector to rely on "librfc32u.dll". BTW: Lotus Notes has always been able to handle Unicode properly, even before SAP even started to think about Unicode compatibility...

we are using LEI agent. one option we are trying to upgrade the LEI agent patch so we can specify the Text format. I want to see the option of handling it inside SAP

Hi Naga,

This is very old post that I am referring it to but if you can provide the solution to the issue you had with Non-unicode Lotus notes RFC to SAP unicode system, that would be great.

We are having problems receiving data from Lotus notes to fetch data from SAP and while sending it back, it gets corrupted / jumble-up when received at Lotus notes.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
