<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> vs "ISO-8859-1"

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am doing IDOC-To-File scenario..the data is coming from IDOC some special characters. those special characters it is failing at mapping stage.

Because my xml header looks like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

UTF-8 is not able to convert special characters..if i change header to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

it is converting special characters.

How do i do that..do i write any mapping program in R/3 or XI to conver UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Bydefault in XI header area it is coming <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> .

Please can you help me any body to converting special characters.

Regards,

Venu.

Check in the SM59 the destination used from of the sender system to point at XI: is the Unicode flag set correctly ?
