open dataset ANSI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I use

OPEN DATASET l_f_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED

to write data on application server, the problem is that I get a data file in UTF-8. Is it possible to get an ANSI data file?

Try something like that

OPEN DATASET i_filename FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE i_codepage

where i_codepage is the relevant sap codepage for your ansi codepage

(ex. 1704 for 1253 MS windows Greek)
