Is the target system a Unicode system?

Hi Marcus

no it is not. Our Dev system is ASCII and Prod is EBCDIC

I'm not sure - but it seems transporting non-Latin-1 characters to EBCDIC is not supported:

Note 80727 - Transporting non-LATIN-1 texts

<...>

When you transport between ASCII and EBCDIC or between ASCII and Unicode, as a matter of principle, the transport program R3trans assumes that the CHAR data only contains Latin-1 characters, and converts it accordingly.
