Hello All,

We have upgraded our system from 4.6 to ERP 6.0 . In few cases data is coming from other systems in as files. The file when checked is neither in UTF-8 or UTF-16 format.

But when I'm trying to open the file using open dataset dsn for input text mode encoding default ( utf-8 default) its not identifying or converting german characters. And as a result the program is dumping since it cannot be converted.

Could anyone please let me know how should I read my file when its in neither in UTF-8/16 format.This is an urgent issue which needs to be addressed asap. Any pointers or answers will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sandeep

Check if open dataset supports modes other than text mode?

Get the file from app server on to your presentation server, use GUI Upload or like to solve the format issues completely, and then venture to putting back in app server and trying there. it is extremely difficult to try variations on appserver fiel otherwise.
