File encoding with UTF-8

[jean-philippe_pain2]

Hello all,

My scenario is IDoc -> XI -> File (txt).

Everything was working fine until i have to handle eastern european language with weird symbol

So in my file adapter receiver, i'm using the file encoding code UTF-8 and when i look my field in output, everything is fine.

BUT, when i look in binary, the length of these field is not longer fixed because a special character takes 2 bytes instead of one.

I would like to know if it's possible to handle those characters with a file encoding code UTF-8 in a fixed length field of 40 characters for example don't want a variable length for my fields...

Thanks by advance,

JP
