CONVT_CODEPAGE codepage '4110' to codepage '4103'

Hi Experts,
I'm really new with ABAP and I'm trying to ivestigate as to why a job got cancelled previously. As per DUMP information:
Short text
A character set conversion is not possible.
What happened?
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103':
    - a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
    codepages;
    - or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
    The running ABAP program 'RFEKA400' had to be terminated as the conversion
    would have produced incorrect data.
The exact line of code where its having trouble with is inside UPLOAD_FROM_UNIX of the program RFEKA400:
READ DATASET AUSZUGFILE INTO SWIFT-ZEILE.
My custome proogram's code is as follows:
     OPEN DATASET file1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING
     NON-UNICODE MESSAGE mess IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS .
     OPEN DATASET file2 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING
     NON-UNICODE MESSAGE mess IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS .
I'm not really sure what to do next. I checked if the standard program got the OSS notes release. I think it did for I saw the Notes #. I already read some of the responses from around here, some have the same issue but it did not got a reply.
Please help me, your response would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your prompt response Anup. I'll try to use that, as soon as I can, I still need apporval to make changes.
Just an additional thought and please correct me if I'm wrong.
I just noticed that RFEKA400 open datasets are as follows:
OPEN DATASET AUSZUGFILE IN TEXT MODE encoding default FOR INPUT.
IF l_upload_codepage IS INITIAL.                                "n928965
    OPEN DATASET AUSZUGFILE IN TEXT MODE encoding default FOR INPUT.   "UC
ELSE.                                                           "n928965
    OPEN DATASET AUSZUGFILE IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE         "n928965
      l_upload_codepage FOR INPUT.                                "n928965
ENDIF.                                                          "n928965
I'm not really sure if I'm making any sense. Do you think using DEFAULT encoding will work? As far as I know if you use the DEFAULT, encoding will depend on what is the preset encoding of the system. Is that right? Maybe matching up the standard program's exact way of OPENING DATASET with my custom program's way might help. I still have to find out. Any thought on this?

Problem conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103'

Hi!
I upgrade my SAP version ECC 5.0 no Unicode to ECC 6.0 Unicode .
Now, when I execute some reports I get a dump because when I open my file with 'OPEN DATASET' and then READ and TRANSFER to another file the result is :
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported.
This dump is got when the file contain special characters like 'Á,Ñ,...)
I have searched some information and the source error I think is about UTF-16 to UTF-8 conversion. I look for some SAP notes but I don't clear what I have to do.
Thanks in advace.
Ana

Hi Ana,
please check the code page of the uploaded file. In your scenario the assumption is that it is based on UTF-8.
If it is based on Non-Unicode, you need to use OPEN DATASET .... ENCODING NON-UNICODE ...

Explain why READ DATASET conversion from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102'

I am unfamiliar with unicode but I am trying to solve a problem in an ABAP program.
Our code is
OPEN DATA p_in FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
DO.
READ DATASET p_in INTO i_tab.
The program gives me the error 'At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102'. The program abends on a line in the file that contains the special character '#'.
Does this mean that the file I am reading is in codepage '4110' and the internal format of i_tab is codepage '4102'? If so, how do the codepages get assigned to unix files and internal structures How can I make the both codepage '4110' or codepage '4102'? Also, what is the difference between these two codepages?
thanks.

CONVT_CODEPAGE conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103'

Hi,
I am receving the runtime error when i am trying to read the data from the application server(the data is loaded in the application server from the FTP server). The issue is with the character ' ¦ ' . Looks like the system is not able to convert this character from one code page to another.
I am getting this issue in both Development and in Quality Systems. Both systems are unicode systems.
I have gone through the existing threads on it and found 2 solutions. One is adding UTF-8 in the Open Dataset statement and other is adding IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS. I tried both these options and the issue still exists.
Runtime error text:
Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
conversion error occurs.
Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
'4110' or '4103' is not known to the system.
Regards,
Karthick.

Let's first name the code pages you've given: 4110 is UTF-8 and 4103 is UTF-16LE. A conversion between Unicode code pages should not be an issue, but converting from a Unicode page to a non-Unicode page obviously is likely to face conversion issues due to missing characters in the non-Unicode target code page.
So let's check the real problem: It sounds like you're reading a file that's not in a UTF-8 encoding, yet you claim it is. I.e. you mention the character ¦ is causing problems. Assuming that you actually copied the character you can already see that it's a bit unusual, i.e. it's not the normal pipe symbol | (which is closed, whereas your character is divided). Now taking the hex code of the character off your posting I get a A6 (decimal 166, binary 10100110). Now in UTF-8 only ASCII (i.e. 7 bit values) are 1 byte characters (i.e. one character equals to one byte).
Now if you check the UTF-8 table you'll see that your pipe symbol with hex value A6 is a continuation character, i.e. it has to be part of a longer multibyte sequence. So if your file errors out on this specific character it's probably simply due to the fact that you don't have a UTF-8 file, but some other encoding (e.g. often it's latin1). So your first step should be to figure out what encoding your file is that you're reading. Once you know it, conversion from that code page to UTF-8 or one of the UTF-16 flavors is no challenge.
By the way, one easy check for invalid UTF-8 byte sequences is to load the file into a web browser. E.g. in your case you could try copying the following data into a file and opening it in your favorite web browser (load will fail).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>¦</data>
After testing that, change the encoding from UTF-8 to latin1 and you'll see that you can load the page into the web browser...

Error: At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102':

I am trying to open an ANSI file from Application server.
I am using "open dataset F_FILENAME for input in text mode encoding default."
For some ANSI files it works fine, and for some it fails. I want to open this file and validate it , post it back on to application server
with its original format.
How do I achieve this? THanks,
Below is the system config.
Database codepage                         Unicode
Current Codepage of Appl. Server    4102
Codepage of Front End               4110 UTF-8 GUI

Hi Shabbir,
The statement "open dataset F_FILENAME for input in text mode encoding default" would open the file with the default codepage of your system which is 4102 for your system.
Due to which the SAP system implicitly coverts the characters in the file to 4102 codepage. You might get "CONVT_CODEPAGE" error if system is not able to convert some characters in the file.
You should use
Open dataset F_FILENAME for input in legacy text mode code page 1100
Check the following link for syntax.
[open dataset in SAP|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/c554a0b3dc11d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm]
You can also use " IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS " to avoid "CONVT_CODEPAGE" errors..

Error "conversion of a text from codepage '4102' to codepage '1100' "

Hello,
If some could help me with this error while tryning to transfer a structure containning the character "u20AC" to a file:
OPEN DATASET p_fic FOR OUTPUT
IN text MODE ENCODING non-unicode.
transfer wt_textes to p_fic.
close dataset p_fic.
wt_textes contains the a string with the character "u20AC".
This code dumps:
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4102' to codepage '1100':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
The running ABAP program 'ZREPRISE_TEXTES' had to be terminated as the
conversion
would have produced incorrect data.
The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
be converted), is 1. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
thanks in advance

Hi,
the problem is that code page 1100 (ISO-8859-1) does not support the u20AC-symbol. However the NON-UNICODE mode usually takes this code page if you logon with EN or DE (or any other Western European language).
As alternative, you could use OPEN DATASET ... LEGACY TEXT MODE... CODE PAGE 1160 ...
Code Page 1160 is the SAP number for MS 1252, which includes the u20AC-symbol.
The other alternative would be to download the file in UTF8 mode and then use the tools described in SAP notes 747615 or 752859 to convert the file content from code page 4110 to 1160 (code page 4110 is the SAP number for UTF-8).

Hi yea,
I see when |I creaet a new page using cs3 I get the head

set at.
my doc's are also set as

Error converting XSTRING to STRING (unicode, codepage)

Hi all,
I have a problem converting data from an external file into SAP.
The file is uploaded via an application created in web dynpro, where I use the upload functionality. This returns the file in the XSTRING format, and then use the following to convert (where l_xstring is the file and l_string is how I want the file):
l_string TYPE string,
l_xstring TYPE xstring,
convt = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = l_xstring ).
convt->read( IMPORTING data = l_string ).
This worked perfectly - until I recieved a file containing russian characters
The SAP system (BI) is in Unicode, so this should be ok.
I get a:
CONVT_CODEPAGE
CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE
Error, when trying to run it.
Also the following migth be helpful:
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported

Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
caught in
procedure "CHECK_PROFILE" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
conversion error occurs.
Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
'4110' or '4103' is not known to the system.
If the conversion error occurred at read or write of screen, the file
name was 'G:\usr\sap\L1D\SYS\profile\DEFAULT.PFL'. (further information about
the file: "X 2673")

Data e ora             17.04.2009 10:55:09
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103':
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
codepages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
The running ABAP program 'RM06IBI0' had to be terminated as the conversion
would have produced incorrect data.
I discovered that
The problem is with the characters: "°" "ò"
which are present in the "txt file"
created for the B.I.
