Convert data from ANSI to UTF-8 format

Hello,
We have data in ANSI format (binary) which we need to convert into UTF-8 format. We are able to do it using FM's GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD but as the amount of data is huge we are planning to get the conversion done using background job. But, we are not able to get it yet. Can anybody suggest ways to resolve this? Can class CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE be used for the same?
Thanks...
With Regards,
Mukul Kulkarni

Hello,
If you have the data in Binary mode, you can use the addition IN BINARY MODE while uploading.
For downloading in UTF-8, you can use the addition TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.

Identify UTF-8 and UTF-16 formats

hi,
Clients submit there unicode messages (arabic,telugu etc langs) in hex format then our application accepts that message and process it.
But there are many tools in the market which will convert the unicode to UTF-8 and UTF-16 formats.
so i need to idetify whether the message is in
UTF-8 or
UTF-16 or
hex(no problem)
something like
isUTF8(String message)
isUTF16(String message)
so that i can convert them back to hex and dump it into database.
regards
Heral raj

You can identify whether it is UTF16 or UTF8 by looking at it's BOM (byte order mark). These are first 2 bytes of the stream.
Check this link http://www.websina.com/bugzero/kb/unicode-bom.html
I do not think implementation should be a problem
Thanks

Hi Saurabh,
your xml is not wellformed coz there are spaces in the prolog between the first character '<' and the '?'. Coz of any reason there are spaces between all characters, that is making your document not readable for parsers including IE. For your task to convert to UTF-8 you can use a XSLT mapping with element "output" and attribut "encoding"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output encoding="UTF-8"/>
 <xsl:template match="/">
Regards,
Udo

Write file in UTF-16BE Format

I am programming web page that runs SWF file (Flash movie) and servlet.
The SWF file sends with URL command data to the server.
send_lv.sendAndLoad("http://�", result_lv, "POST");The data at � UTF-8 (UTF-8 is the standard encoding for exchanging text, such as online mail systems. UTF is an 8-bit system.).
At the servlet in doPost command I get the data with
String temp = request.getParameter("smstext");I need to write the parameter �temp� into file in UTF-16BE Format, how I do it?
I try almost everything

Once you've got a String, you can get bytes corresponding to a specific encoding with the getBytes(String charset) method.
In your case:byte[] bytes = temp.getBytes("UTF-16BE");Then you may write those bytes to a file using a FileOutputStream.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#getBytes(java.lang.String)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html
You should obtain the same result with an OutputStreamWriter, for which you can specify the encoding in the contructor, and then write the String directly:OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName), "UTF-16BE");http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/OutputStreamWriter.html

Create new text file in UTF-8 format by default

I'm working a lot with UTF-8 text files and mainly in this format. It's becoming annoying when I have to manually save every text file as UTF-8. After several trial-and-errors, I've made up a procedure that I've put in a blog. I think I could share
it here for those who need it. Hope it helps.
http://instrumenti-meliora.blogspot.com/2014/04/create-new-text-file-in-utf-8-format-by.html

You've made a procedure?
Are you sure you didn't :
Didn't what?
https://www.google.com/#q=change+notepad+default+encoding
Well, I'm not sure what you want me to see, but your search keywords do
NOT make sense. You do note change *Notepad* default encoding. What you can change is a
TEXT file's default encoding.
Well, of course, if you have access to Notepad source code and you're able to change it and re-compile again, then you could really say you change Notepad's "default encoding", which I suppose would mean "default encoding every time we save".
Why wouldn't you just provide a link (or some attribution) to the top result
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/default-utf-8-encoding-for-new-notepad-documents/525f0ae7-121e-4eac-a6c2-cfe6b498712c
or a link to watch this done on youtube?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnL6smxQE9k
The title of that forum post and Youtube video is a non-sense. New
"Notepad" document? Come on! That's apparently how a newbie think what it is and it's very likely he has not a clue what it is and what he is doing. And what if I don't use Notepad to create such file? If I
use UltraEdit, then mine should be "UltraEdit" document and that should be different from Notepad document, correct? LOL
The fact that you're able to find this video would also mean you're thinking like him in that the file is really called Notepad document LOL
For your information, that's called a text file (or document if you prefer this prettier term). It's also called plain text file.
Now, let's see the content of both links:
First of all, why did they tell people to create a new text file somewhere and then
COPY it to template folder? That's really so dumb
LOL Isn't it more intelligent to create such file directly INSIDE the folder?
Secondly, their procedures are not foolproof. What if the Windows directory is not c:\windows? They should tell people to open %Systemroot%\ShellNew instead. I suppose they don't even know how this folder is called because
nowhere is the term "template folder" ever mentioned.
Thirdly, what if that folder doesn't work for unknown reason (which might happen in XP)? Did they give any hint to a "failover" folder? No, they didn't. But I do in my procedure.
Fourthly, they are saying as if the file name has to be "TXTUTF-8.txt", but actually we can call it whatever we like. But smart people would have figured this out at the end.
5 (I'd stop saying fifthly and so on LOL) I'm not sure it's necessary (or recommended) to change "fSavePageSettings" & "fSaveWindowPositions" DWORD values for Notepad as "advised" in that answer.
As a side-note, I don't know what
http://www.pc1news.com/saving-changes-to-notepad-configuration-1216.html is supposed to give but when I open this, I got some uTorrent warning. Really seems like some malware webpage which tries to deceive people!
I actually searched how a (generic) new file is created and started from there.
So, maybe next time when you want to criticize or discredit somebody else, try to be more expert first? ;)

Files placed were not in UTF-8 format

Hi Experts,
In our project we have a pass through(no IR part) Interface from Source -
>>PI -
>>Target(where both Source and Target are File servers).PI should pick the file and place it in Target Directory by converting into UTF-8 format.For this we used File Type as Text and File Encoding as UTF-8 in the Receiver File channel.
Recently the Target file server migrated to UNIX OS from WINDOWS OS and nothing was changed in PI but after the migration the Target system is facing an error saying "File is not in UTF-8 format"
Previous when the OS is windows PI placed the files in UTF-8 format only but now after the OS migration to UNIX PI is placing ANSI files eventhough we are maintaining File Type as Text and File Encoding as UTF-8 in the Receiver File channel.
Can anyone say how to overcome this problem and convert the files into UTF-8 and place in the Target Directory.
Thanks and Regards,
Prajwal Kumar

Hi Shabarish,
Can you please explain a bit more about issue with the line feeds.
and also please let me know what should I check with the end system.
Will the module help us to convert the file into UTF-8 format..?
Thanks for your reply.

Placing the file in UTF-8 format in Target Directory

Hi Experts,
Can any one please tell me how to place a file in Target Directory by PI in UTF-8 format.
It is a file to file PassThrough (no IR part) scenario and in receiver File Adapter I have used File Encoding as UTF-8
but still PI is not placing the file in UTF-8 format in the Target Directory.
Are there any modules by which the files are converted to UTF-8 format.
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks and Regards,
Prajwal

Hi,
Please let me know if I need to change the TransferMode,File Type and FileEncoding in both sender and receiver channel.
I tried the below settings but still the file is not being placed in UTF-8.
Sender CHannel:    TransferMode         Text
                               FileType                  Text
                               FileEncoding            UTF-8
Receiver Channel    TransferMode         Binary
                                 FileType                  Text
                                 FileEncoding           tried with UTF-8 once and tried with blank
Can any one throw some light here.
Thanks and Regards,
Prajwal

IDoc to File - Russian Characters not in UTF-8 format - File Receiver

Hello,
My scenario is Idoc to File. My SAP sender system is a Unicode system and my RFC connection to XI is also set to a unicode connection. My idoc is sent to XI OK and whenever I look at the payload in SXMB_MONI, I see the Russian characters OK, but the problem is when the file gets created.
My receiver system wants the file in UTF-8 format. When the file gets created, the Russian characters are not in UTF-8 encoding format. For example, the Russian chars look like (but without the spaces inbetween): Ð # Ð µ Ñ # Ð ¶ Ð ° Ñ # Ð µ Ð » Ñ ...
Instead, the chars should look like: Держатель
My file type in my file receiver comm channel is binary and I am also using the AF_Modules/XMLAnonymizerBean with anonymizer.encoding of utf-8.
Can someone please help me determine the problem?
Thank you,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda,
Hope you have set the following for your file receiver adapter :
1. Transfer Mode is set to Binary,
2. File Type Text,
3. Encoding ISO-8859-1( for Western European Latin ).
Inorder to recognize russian Character, try as follows :
Your sender idoc after coming into Pi has XML encoding declaration 'UTF-8'.
Write a simple XSLT mapping to change the value of the attribute "encoding" to "ISO-8859-1" in the output XML of message mapping . Include this XSLT map as the second mapping step in your interface mapping.
First step in your interface mapping will be your already existing message mapping.
An example of the XSL code :
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method='xml' encoding='ISO-8859-1' />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="*" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Iam not sure whether Russian language encoding has ISO-8859-2 (Eastern European Latin) or
ISO-8859-1( for Western European Latin )...pls check out !
or you can also do java mapping instead of above mentioned xslt mapping if you are comfortable with java code !
Cheers,
Ram.

Conversion to UTF-16 format

Hi,
i have a requirement where i need to convert data in my internal table which is in text format to UTF-16 format before downloading it to a file,
is there any function module which can be used .
Regards,
Raghavendra

Hi Raghavendra,
As per my knowledge it is not possible to directly to convert to UTF-16. But there is a way to download into application server.
Write data to file
open dataset DSN in text mode for output encoding utf-16.
transfer STRUC2 to DSN.
close dataset DSN.
After converting like that you can download the data.

Writing files in UTF-8 format

Hi,
Our system is unicode enable and I want to write a file in UTF-8 format.
I'tried the following syntax.
OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
and OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING default
But when I check the file, it is in ANSI format. Is there a way we can force the system to write it in UTF-8 format?
Thanks,

Using a HexEditor the special character (0x0A) is displayed as a dot.

Request parameters not decoded in UTF-8 format

Hi All,
I've a spring mvc application hosted in tomcat.But when I make a get request to this application giving japanese characters as parameters , the servlet decodes it in ISO-8859-1 fomat, due to which a search functionality is failing.
Is there any way to specify the servlet for decoding the request parameters in UTF-8 format?
I Tried adding the URIEncoding="UTF-8" attribute in Connector tag in server.xml of the tomcat server where my application is hosted, but still -ve results.
Any help?

This link may help you:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding
The change you made is indeed documented:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html
so if that doesn't work, you'll have to direct your question to a Tomcat forum.

Reading a file in UTF-8 format

Hi,
I am trying to read a UTF-8 file but cannot see how to tell the file reader ( BufferedREader) to expect a UTF-8 format.
I can write to a UTF-8 formatted file ok using a Charset object in the FileWriter constructor but I can't see the equivalent solution for reading.
Any help appreciated
Thanks ... J

import java.io.*;
class Test127 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException, UnsupportedEncodingException, IOException {
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (new FileInputStream (args[0]), "UTF-8"));
        String line = br.readLine();
        if (line != null)
            System.out.println (line);
        br.close();

Downloading file in UTF-8 format

Hi,
I want to download a file in UTF-* format.
i have written the following code to download it in UTF-8.
OPEN DATASET L_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
LOOP AT p_struct INTO w_struct.
TRANSFER w_struct TO l_filename.
CLEAR w_struct.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET l_filename.
my question how do i check the file whether it is been downloaded in UTF-8 or not?
Thanks in advance.
neha

Hi!
You have to download it into your PC. For this, use an FTP program (f.e smartftp).
Then use a text editor to check its format, for example PSPAD text editor.
