UTF-8 file creation using ABAP

[Former Member]

I want to create a UTF-8 file on Application Server.

Question 1:

I tried using statement 'Open dataset for output in text mode encoding utf-8'. The file was created. Then I used CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES=>CHECK_UTF8 to check the encoding. 'A' was returned respresenting ASC.

Any suggestion on this?

Or is there any option to convert a ASC file to UTF-8?

Question 2:

After creating the file on Application Server, I used code below to check the encoding.

call method CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES=>CHECK_UTF8

EXPORTING

file_name = fname

IMPORTING

encoding = encoding.

if encoding = CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES=>ENCODING_UTF8.

write: / fname, 'File format is UTF-8.'.

else.

write: / fname, 'File format is not UTF-8.'.

endif.

When I was using this method to check a local file, i got error. can't this method do that?

Thanks.

Our SAP server is Windows, is it possible to create a UFF-8 file?

I used parameter 'encoding UTF-8' while creating the file on App Server as above.

then I downloaded the file using 'Gui_download' with parameter codepage = 4110, then i got a UTF-8 file on local machine.

why utf-8 file wasn't created on App server?

too many questions here.

Thanks All.
