Hello!

Converting between codepages is always a little bit tricky. For character-replacement you could use SAP function module "SCP_REPLACE_STRANGE_CHARS" before you write the text file. If you know the "problematic" character(s) you also can use simple TRANSLATE - statement.

I guess the short dump is on the TRANSFER statement, and not on the OPEN DATASET.

It's what happens if you try to write characters to a given code page (1504) where some of those characters don't exist in this code page. Remember that in a SAP Unicode system (code page 4102 or 4103), there are about 100.000 characters, while in old code pages (1504, ASCII, and so on), there are a maximum of 256 characters.

To avoid this situation, you must define a REPLACEMENT CHARACTER in the OPEN DATASET statement. Please refer to the ABAP documentation of OPEN DATASET.
