Hi Guys,
We have converted our 4.7 system to Unicode. One of the issues we are facing is in the interface which transfers data from SAP to an external system which is Non-Unicode.
Interface transfers the data to application server which is then FTPed to the external system.
Problem arises only when there are special characters.
When SAP was non-unicode, there was no issue with special chars (eq u0160KOLÍCÍ PŘÍPRAVEK, áìèø¹¾ýáíé, etc)
After unicode conversion, the external system is not able to recognize the special characters (obviously because of the code page issue).
When we changed the code to 'Open dataset encoding NON_UNICODE', all the special characters now gets converted to # in the application server itself. So, no point in sending that data.
I tried logging in with the different languages and executing the code; same result.
Is there a solution?
Appreciate your responses.
Thanks,
Bikash
