Problem with the Danish characters

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am generating an XML file from a custom smartform and saving into a folder in the application server. When the file is written into the application server, the Danish characters are not coming properly. Probaly this is a issue related to the codepage that the XML file is using. I am using the following technique to write the XSF data returned by the Smartform auto generated funciton module into the application server. The generated xml file starts with something like <?xml version="1.0"?> and it seems that the encoding header attribute is missing somehow and I dont know how to put it.

data wa type bin1024.

data length type i.

DATA dsn(50) VALUE '/tmp/test.xml' .

length = P_OUTPUT-XSFLENGTH.

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

loop at P_OUTPUT-XSFDATA into wa.

if length > 1024.

transfer wa to dsn.

length = length - 1024.

else.

transfer wa to dsn length length.

endif.

endloop.

close dataset dsn.</i>

I am desperately trying to find out a solution to this. It would be nice of you if I can get a quick solution.

Thanks in advance

Hi Nilay,

You logic seems does not downloading the data completely.You get the length of P_OUTPUT outside the loop, then loop at P_OUTPUT-XSFDATA to download to the application server. Within the loop if length is > than 1024, you reduce length by 1024. But you are not downloading the rest of the text in each line of P_OUTPUT-ZSFDATA.

This could be resulted to some of your xml text got chopped off.

Hi Nablan,

Thanks for your quick reply. The raw XSF data is stored in the P_OUTPUT-XSFDATA as multiple lines of 1024 bytes. Actually I have slighly changed the logic for transfering the XML data into the file and following is the latest one.

**************************

DATA: l_last TYPE i,

l_len TYPE i,

l_sytabix TYPE int4.

l_len = 1024.

l_sytabix = l_xmlsize DIV l_len.

l_sytabix = l_sytabix + 1.

l_last = l_xmlsize MOD l_len.

**************************

• Open the file in the appl server

OPEN DATASET l_xml_filename FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

it_xsfdata[] = p_it_output_data_xmloutput-xsfdata[].

LOOP AT it_xsfdata INTO wa_xsfdata.

IF sy-tabix = l_sytabix .

TRANSFER wa_xsfdata TO l_xml_filename LENGTH l_last .

ELSE.

TRANSFER wa_xsfdata TO l_xml_filename .

ENDIF.

CLEAR: l_data,wa_xsfdata.

ENDLOOP.

REFRESH it_xsfdata .

CLEAR: it_output_data,p_it_output_data_xmloutput.

ELSE.

MESSAGE i000 WITH text-007.

LEAVE LIST-PROCESSING.

ENDIF.

CLOSE DATASET l_xml_filename.

But it has basically nothing to do with the code page because I am getting a complete XML file which I can successfully open in the browser after downloading it into my local machine. There are certain options with OPEN DATASET command for setting codepage etc. but I was unable to use them successfully.
