Generate Unicode text file

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a unicode text file using OPEN DATASET which is to be fed to MDM for further process. I tried using the follow statement but no use,

OPEN DATASET p_afile FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE
CODE PAGE '1100' IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.

After generating a file I try to save it manually using excel and it gets converted without any issues. But the requirement is to generate a unicode txt file as like below in excel,

Any leads?

I even tried the usual way as below but not able to get the file,

OPEN DATASET p_afile FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING UTF-8.

That option is most likely UCS-2 LE.

So try open dataset for output in legacy text mode little endian code page '4103' ignoring conversion errors.

In SAP, 4103 is utf16-le.
