    well if you use the HTMLB tag to upload the data it will be returned as binary string. There is some good online help for the fileUpload tag that shows you how to do the data extraction part. You should then be able to convert the code page from the source one to a compatible destination one using some function calls. First call SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME. With this you can convert the external name of the encoding type to the interal SAP code page.

    call function 'SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME'

    exporting

    external_name = encoding

    * KIND = 'H'

    importing

    sap_codepage = codepage

    exceptions

    not_found = 1

    others = 2.

    Next you can call function SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS to make the conversion. You can supply an input and export code page along with a input binary buffer. In this example I am converting a Unicode binary string to Unicode character based string. However it should work just as well for going from Chinese Simplified (GB2312) or Chinese Traditional (Big5) to Unicode (UTF-8).

    call function 'SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS'

    exporting

    inbuff = e_data

    inbufflg = xdocument_length

    incode = codepage

    * OUTBUFFLG = 0

    outcode = codepage

    * CSUBST = 'X'

    * SUBSTC_HASH = ' '

    * SUBSTC_DOT = ' '

    substc_space = 'X'

    substc = '00035'

    importing

    * INUSED =

    outbuff = cdocument

    * OUTOVERFLOW =

    * OUTUSED =

    * SUBSTED =

    * INPUT_ENDS_IN_CHAR =

    * ERRMSG =

    exceptions

    invalid_codepage = 1

    internal_error = 2

    cannot_convert = 3

    fields_bad_type = 4

    others = 5.
