Unicode Error for Macro Open statement

[Former Member]

<b><u>I have a Macro defined as below:</u></b>

-macro-for-form-definition----

---

DEFINE M_OPEN.

----

---

• FORM F_DSOPEN_&1_&2 *

----

---

• This is a macro to dynamically open unix files *

----

---

• --> dsn *

• --> type *

• --> c *

----

FORM F_DSOPEN_&1_&2 USING

P_XPATH.

DATA MSG(80).

OPEN DATASET P_XPATH FOR &1 IN &2 MODE MESSAGE MSG.

V_SUBRC = SY-SUBRC.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

CONCATENATE V_DESC29 P_XPATH INTO V_DESC.

PERFORM F_CREATE_IT_ERR USING ' ' V_DESC.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

END-OF-DEFINITION.

<u><b>After that I am using that Macro as below:</b></u>

M_OPEN INPUT BINARY.

M_OPEN OUTPUT TEXT.

<u><b>Showing Error as below:</b></u>

ERROR: In "TEXT MODE" the "ENCODING" addition must be specified

<u><b>Solutions tried:</b></u>

I was suspecting that error for Open Dataset and added text mode / encoding for it. Still the problem is showing up.

So I guess some change should take place for M_OPEN statements.

ANY CLUES PLEASE.

Thanks

OPEN DATASET P_XPATH FOR &1 IN &2 MODE MESSAGE MSG ENCODING DEFAULT.

Maybe you can have a try to add "ENCODING DEFAULT".

I hope it will be helpful.

[Former Member]

I already told that I gave a try in that area.

Thanks for the reply.

Any more clues pl

OPEN DATASET P_XPATH FOR &1 IN &2 MODE MESSAGE MSG <b>encoding default</b>.

Thats the solution. If you tried and had no success, you made a mistake.

The encoding phrase is mandantory in unicode, you dont have that, and therefore you will get an error.

And at least: using a macro to have a form is more than strange. Forms can have parameters.

Hi Kiran,

Please do not use Macro. Instead use a subroutine if you wish to reuse the code.

ENCODING DEFAULT is the only solution.

Simply remove macro & paste the code of open dataset along with encoding default & check.
