Unicode changes Multibye character problem

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have made our production system unicode compliant. We have item master interface which extract data from material master. After unicode compliant, description fields length is increased and it affected our extract. There is not any change in description field before or after unicode changes. Given below three lines, First two lines is before unicode compliant, which is correct and third is after unicode compliant. You can clearly see the all the other fields after description has been moved by 2 characters. We want extract should generated as mentioned in first two lines.

We have done following changes to make program unicode compliant. But this seems to be not working.

open dataset wm_datasetname for output in text mode encoding default.

Please advise. It's urgent.

Hey Yogesh,

I see some non-english characters in the data. did you try opening it in binary mode?

Did you try with other encoding formats?

Hi Darshil...

Yes. i have tried ENCODING DEFAULT / ENCODING NON-UNICODE / ENCODING UTF-8. But it is not working,

By the way, these non-english characters are french.

Thanks

Yogesh
