Non English Charaters in Flat file(Note pad)

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I have a flat file from presentation server which needs to be uploaded and do some validations on that file based on the data existing.

I have some Russian language words in that file. E.g: "ОЩИ В ПОДГ". If this word exists in the file i need to get some other data from a database table. But when trying to check for the word, these characters are appearing as junk characters like ###^#&^^.

I tried logging into RU language also, but still not working. And also tried changing the file as type Unicode, ASCII and also not worked.

Please let me know how to get identify these words to see the exact russian words.

Thanks for your help.

If you are using GUI_UPLOAD, try passing '1100' in the codepage parameter.

HI Ramya,

Thanks for your help.

It is working in one way. But the program is doing uploading the file and then downloading also.

At the time of uploading it is fine, but when it is downloading, it wasin non-unicode format using GUI_DOWNLOAD FM.

I have added a parameter ID UCP with value 4110 in my user profile and now it is working fine.

Thanks.
