Reading SAP-generated IFS files in Windows XP

46 Views

Hello members

I want to keep some log files that are created in an IFS directory by SAP installation process for future reference. So I FTP these file into my PC in binary mode. I want to be able to read them in Windows XP as well. But when I open them by Wordpad or Notepad, I cannot read the text in the files at all (the text is displayed in unintelligible symbols) but I can read them in the IFS directory with IBM i EDTF command or from WRKLNK menu option 5. I suspect this may have to do with code page setting of the files but I have no idea on what specific action I should take to make these file readable in Windows by Notepad or Wordpad.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
