Special Character problem when writing to application server

Hi All,

I am facing a problem when writing a file to application server,

when ever the internal table has an entry of special character in a field say NAME, the corresponding entry in file has shifted over one byte in the file.

I think that Open data set statement used might be cause for this problem

I have used

" Open dataset P_FILE for output in textmode encoding default"

Please help me with this problem

Hi there!

Try using unicode format, using utf-8 ... like:


OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT in text mode ENCODING utf-8.

Hi,,

I did not have any problem while writing to application server

The problem was only when download to system, The test person must have used some encoding while downloading to system

I did not change any code

Thanks.
