Yen Symbol Not Displayed Correctly in Text

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a text file in the application server using the command "OPEN DATASET IN TEXT MODE", which I am able to do so far. The data to be transferred to the text file contains the Yen Symbol: ¥ or ALT+0165. The symbol is being displayed correctly in SAP, but when I open the text file created my notepad is only displaying a small box or dot:

･45,000;

but when I try to manually type the yen symbol on the notepad I am able to do it correctly! For additional this is the code snippet in question:

  LOOP AT i_tag INTO wa_tag.
    ls_tag = wa_tag.
    AT NEW grouping.
      CLEAR v_path.
*--- define and open file path for file group
      CONCATENATE ls_tag-pathextern ls_tag-file INTO v_path.
      OPEN DATASET v_path FOR OUTPUT  IN TEXT MODE.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        CLOSE DATASET v_path.
        CLEAR v_path.
      ENDIF.
    ENDAT.
    CHECK NOT v_path IS INITIAL.
    PERFORM:
      prepare_file_data,
      prepare_file_line CHANGING v_line.
    IF NOT v_line IS INITIAL AND wa_tag-tag_menge > 0.
      DO wa_tag-tag_menge TIMES.
        TRANSFER v_line TO v_path.
      ENDDO.
    ENDIF.
    AT END OF grouping.
      CLOSE DATASET v_path.
      CLEAR i_filenames.
      i_filenames-file = ls_tag-file.
      APPEND i_filenames.
    ENDAT.
  ENDLOOP.

is there any additional preparation i need to transfer the yen symbol properly? By the way the system is 4.6c.

Thanks in advance!

Before writing to the file change ¥ into in order to translate properly to in the text file.
