Hi All,

I have a .CSV file (UTF-8 format) which contains Chinese Characters.

I uploaded the file to AL11 and it shows that all teh data is correct in AL11.

Now i am using a program to Read file from AL11 and update a ztable but some of the characters are

modified and some are getting saved as junk characters.

Kindly let me know what can be done.

Regards,

Jose

Hello,

How did you upload the file into AL11? Using CG3Y or using OPEN DATASET and TRANSFER statements?

Can you not use the [ENCODING UTF-8 addition|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET_ENCODING.htm] ?

Jose,

The issue is pretty much clear. Ask the IT team to change the regional settings for languages. Normally we don't have

access to Korean, Traditional chinese....etc.

You might be getting characters/symbols as ?? ##. Go ahead and change the regional setting.

This will solve your issue.

Thanks guys, The encoding with UTF-8 addition worked provided that the file is also created with UTF-8 encoding.
