SAP DCOM Connector message wrong codepage

[Former Member]

Hi!

I need help.

I've got RFC module that executing report through submit.

Report is generating error messages. When I'm trying to call RFC module through SAP DCOM Connector, I'm always get message text with wrong codepage. Than I'm saying wrong code page, I mean sap server iternal code page, not a windows code page. Any other data transfer works fine with correct windows code page.

SAP code page is 1500.

Windows code page is 1504.

Do you have any solutions?

Hi Vitaly!

Never done the settings, but is DCOM Connector using an own logon? Then there is a language defined, which should be identical to your other logons.

Thank you Christian, but DCOM Connector has own connection settings(so called "destinations") and there is only language setting that I can define. I just don't really understand how can RFC-client get any message that was sent with message command in FM. I think there is other mechanism(different from usual data transport) to transport error messages and no code page conversion is doing at all by default.

Maybe I'm wrong?

Hi!

Currently I'm working with English / Cyrillic texts. When I display an identical text logged on in English, it's displayed with a different codepage compared with a logon with Russian.

So please ensure language is identical for RFC / DCOM / normal user, that has an influence on used codepages.

Hi, Christian!

I understand what you mean. I'm using the correct(Russian) language for all logons: RFC, DCOM and GUI. And all text data that transfers from SAP is in correct code page, so I can read it, but when I get error message text in my asp page, it is in SAP iternal code page(without convertion). All error messages generated with "message" I receive not from parameters of functional modules, but from Error array of the COM object.

Thank you again.

Then maybe it's not SAP-linked. We have also different behavior depending on the Windows-default settings, so different computers (or before / after changing localization setting) use different codepages.

Do you use a Russian version of the DCOM software? Maybe 'somewhere inside' a default is set, which is wrong in your case.

I'm using SAP DCOM Connector Version 6.20(english). I don't know where I can get russian version of this product. It seems there is no such one. I don't really know who wrong or right, maybe SAP or DCOM software, because in trace log of DCOM connector I've got something like this:

Text of error message we have here in wrong code page(SAP internal-1500), then other text from SAP in correct code page(1504). How to force DCOM software to use correct code page for FREE messages?

[Former Member]

So, maybe someone has docs, urls or anything else about free messages in DCOM?

Thank you!
