UNICODE System - XML Encoding Error

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We've upgraded our SAP system to ECC 6.0 Unicode. One of our applications works with XML files and we've been experimenting some problems with the XML encoding since the machine is Unicode enabled. In the XML structure we obtain strange chinesse characters:

This should be the right xml response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><OpenHR><employee><id>69900004</id><name>Employee 1, Romania</name><orgName>Test ROMANIA</orgName><role>EMPLOYEE</role><flex>NO</flex><company>NE</company></employee><labels><label id="delegation">Delegations</label>

We obtain:

Here is the code where we guess the problem is (we have tried with differente encoding types: ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, UTF-16 and DEFAULT).

DATA: S_ENCODING_TYPE TYPE STRING,

ENCODING TYPE REF TO IF_IXML_ENCODING.

S_ENCODING_TYPE = 'iso-8859-1'.

ENCODING = IXML->CREATE_ENCODING( CHARACTER_SET = S_ENCODING_TYPE

BYTE_ORDER = 0 ).

CALL METHOD ODOCUMENT->SET_ENCODING

EXPORTING ENCODING = ENCODING.

CALL FUNCTION 'SDIXML_DOM_TO_XML'

EXPORTING

DOCUMENT = ODOCUMENT

IMPORTING

SIZE = ISIZERAW

TABLES

XML_AS_TABLE = IDATA

EXCEPTIONS

NO_DOCUMENT = 1

OTHERS = 2.

(IDATA is the variable where we see the chinesse text)

It will not give you any effect to set up encoding because this function module sets its own encoding inside:

encoding = pixml->create_encoding( character_set = 'UTF-8' byte_order = 0 ).

Renderer is created by the kernel:

by kernel module abkm_iXML_CreateRenderer.

Something may be wrong with the installation.
