encoding problem in xls

[balamurugan_ramakrishnan]

Hi All,

I have to read information from a txt file, which contains Greek language/characters.

Using gui_upload it is uploading and displaying some other character.

How to read from the txt file which should return the Greek character.

Advance thanks,

Pass the codepage value wrt the language which you are uploading :

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
CODEPAGE = V_CODEPAGE
..........
..........

While saving the file in Notepad.. when you click on SAVE AS .. in ENCODING pass Unicode

Best regards,

Prashant

Hi...

I dont think so its an encoding problem....may be the problem is with ur tabs in the text file..just check the tabs again and then try and upload file..see what is being uploaded in your internal table though file while debugging

thanks

Hello Bala,

I agree with the solution Prashant provided, you must use the addition CODEPAGE in GUI_UPLOAD func. module.

For Greek characters the SAP Codepage is 1704. You should try having a look @ SAP Note 73606.

Hope this helps.

HI Suhas,

If bala is using unicode system it doesn#t matter by specifying code page as i suppose.

Because unicode system has to accept all the codepages.

so beeter to save the file in non unicoefformat.
