CONVT_CODEPAGE Dump - REPLACE....REGEX..

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We're getting CONVT_CODEPAGE Dump (from code page '4103' to code page '1100')

Screenshot below:

It is occurring in the below code:

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX '[^[:print:]] '
        IN int_records-line WITH space.
TRANSFER int_records-line TO g_fileo.

Can somebody please suggest me what other REGEX do we need to add to overcome this error?

Thanks & Regards,

Hmm,

why don't you simply use the additions IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS or REPLACEMENT CHARACTER in OPEN DATASET?

Thanks Horst. Let me try adding IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS in OPEN DATASET.

Hi Horst,

Hope it doesn't impact if there's conversion error.

What do you mean with that?

Your question was about handling conversion errors  in TRANSFER, wasn't it?

IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS in OPEN DATASET is doing what it says. Each non-convertible character is replaced in the conversion either by the character "#" or by the character defined by the addition REPLACEMENT CHARACTER. In order to get the behavior you seem to have intented with your above code, you use

IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS REPLACEMENT CHARACTER  ` `.

PS:

In your above REPLACE statement, you use

... WITH space.

BEHIND WITH the trailing blank is removed and the replacement character is an empty string. Is that what you have intented?
