Language Conversion from Unicode 8 to Character Set

Former Member

Hi,

I am creating a file programmatically containing Vendor Master data (FTP interface).

The vendor name and vendor address is maintained in the local language (Taiwanese) in SAP System, these characters are in Unicode 8 character set.

The Unicode character set should be converted to BIG5 for Taiwanese, and then send this information in the file.

How can I perform this conversion and change the character set of the values I'm retrieving from table (LFA1) to character set BIG5.

Is is possible to does this conversion in SAP, does sap allows this?
