Junk value is coming when uploading text file to AL11 via open data set

[kunal_chandra]

I am using OPEN DATASET lv_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT . to transfer file to AL11 path but when reading the file I am getting junk value ï»¿ is beginning it self as show in attachment . I tried  ENCODING  NON-UNICODE and UTF-8 also to place the file but no luck. Basically it getting uploaded with UTF-8 with BOM, but in order to resolve this I need it in UTF-8 format. Any suggestion will be helpful.

I guess it's the Byte Order Mark representing UTF-8 = bytes 'EFBBBF' (see Wikipedia). You may use

OPEN DATASET ... FOR INPUT ENCODING UTF-8 SKIPPING BYTE-ORDER MARK

See OPEN DATASET, encoding (ABAP Keyword Documentation).

Thanks, I tried above syntaxes bit still getting  in the file and the file format showing as UTF8 with BOM when downloading

Then, probably the file you are trying to read is incorrect, it really contains 3 characters  which should not be there, probably there was a mistake when generating the file (OPEN DATASET ... FOR OUTPUT).

the code is below:

[kunal_chandra]

the code is: TRY. CALL METHOD cl_abap_file_utilities=>create_utf8_file_with_bom EXPORTING file_name = lv_file. CATCH cx_sy_file_open INTO DATA(lx_open). CATCH cx_sy_file_authority INTO DATA(lx_auth). CATCH cx_sy_file_io INTO DATA(lx_io). CATCH cx_sy_file_close INTO DATA(lx_close) . ENDTRY. IF lv_file IS NOT INITIAL. OPEN DATASET lv_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT . IF sy-subrc = 0 and lv_hdr IS NOT INITIAL. TRANSFER lv_hdr TO lv_file. ENDIF. endif

The file generation seems OK, it's UTF-8 with BOM. How are you reading/getting the file? NB: my first answer was about the reading of the file (FOR INPUT ENCODING UTF-8 SKIPPING BYTE-ORDER MARK).
