Generating text file encoded in ANSI or UNICODE standards

[Former Member]

We are developing a project for a customer, in Brazil, using SAP xMII version 11.5.3 b66.

In one part of the application we need that xMII generates and saves a text file in the shared folder of a printer. This file has special characters inside, such as: ç , ã , á, â, which are used here in Brazil. When the file is saved, these kind of characters are being written properly in the file (we can open it in notepad and see all characters in the text) but the file encoding type is UTF-8. We need a way to have xMII generating the text file encoded in ANSI or UNICODE standards because the printer is not able to printer special characters of files encoded in UTF-8. Is that a way to configure xMII to do this way?

Thanks in advance,

Hello, Henry.

This might require the creation of a custom action block, as I do not think it will be possible to easily do this with the "built-in" action blocks. What is generating/creating the text file?
