Regarding code page conversions

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have a query on code pages in unicode evironment.

first of all sorry for writing such big question

There were a couple of issues when we have upgraded from 4.7 to 6.0 . These issues were mainly in the code page conversions from one code page xxxx to yyyy and the dataset transfers.

the problem which im facing is trying to understand exactly what is this code page doing in the back ground and these multilingual conversions all about .

there is a custom code page that my client has made in his landscape and now in majority of the interfaces we need to handle the code based on this code page .

for ex in the open dataset statement we add legacy text mode code page p_code ignoring conversion errors message lv_message .

i see some of the characters especially scandinivian korean chinese and japanese giving some major problem during the file transfers to unix and ftp environment .

case 1.

now we are referring to a custom code page 9xxx . now take a character as ä , now when i write a transfer statement

with referene to this code page it is displaying as # in unix path.

now taking the hexa decimal value of this character if i search in the custom code page (tcode scp with the hexa value of such characters ) there is a value already present in this code page 9xxx, now when i have a value maintained why am i gettina a # in the unix server .. how to check the consistency /validity of this code page

case 2.

some hungarian characters like o with a tilt on top cause conversion error dumps during the transfer . again the code page has this hexa value in it .

why in this case the conversion from 4102(basically utf-16)

to code page 9xxx is failing . why it is calling 4102 in this case ?

ignoring conversion error bypasses this strange chars (cxsycodepage*dump) but how to hold the correct value at any point of time in the desired server i mean at last i need to transfer o with a tilt instead of a # .

Please give some in depth work around solution instead of some vague answers .

Will appreciate your effort and time for this .

Thnx much .
