CONVT_CODEPAGE

Hi All,
I am running a program which reads the file on Application server and makes changes / addition to this file. But In Production environment, while reading the second record of the file it throws the error "CONVT_CODEPAGE".
However this programs runs smoothly in other environment with the same file as an input. Could any one please help me out with kind of action required to take?
Thanks in advance,
Jigar

hi
good
Catchable Exceptions

CONVT_CODEPAGE errror

I have a program which generates a flat file to be FTPed to another Unix Server from SAP. In this file if there are Non-English characters then they are not being interpreted properly at Unix Level. For Example :
There is a MATNR in MARA as 'FORFAIT RÉPARATION'. I have highlighted the character in question as BOLD & ITALIC.
This material is transferred to the flat file, when you open this file in AL11 on SAP Screen, it shows you the MATNR as above 'FORFAIT RÉPARATION'.
But when you logon to SAP at Unix Level, same material is displayed as 'FORFAIT RÃPARATION'.
Since at Unix Level MATNR name is 'FORFAIT RÃPARATION', it will remain same when FTPed to another Unix Server and thats wrong
I am using following statement in my program to OPEN the file.
open dataset pa_file for output in text mode encoding default => Program behaves like above
open dataset pa_file for output in text mode encoding non-unicode . => it gives a dump, and in the output non-english characters are replaced by '#'.
Our SAP is ECC 6.0 and similar behaviour is observed for characters like

ABAP dump CONVT_CODEPAGE in ECC 6.0

Hi,
In ECC 6.0 the following error is coming while reading data from Unix file.
Runtime Errors CONVT_CODEPAGE
Except. CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE
The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE"
occurred in
procedure "GET_DATA_FROM_UXFILE" "(FORM)", but it was neither handled locally
nor declared
in the RAISING clause of its signature.
The program logic for opening dataset and reading is as shown below, dump is coming while reading dataset.
OPEN DATASET INFILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
DO.
 READ DATASET INFILE INTO WA_workarea .
ENDDO.
Do we need to change the read command to avoid this dump in ECC 6.0?
Thanks,
Sreedevi

I think syntax Open dataset option ENCODING DEFAULT in unicode system expects a file in UTF-8 encoding.
It's dumping because read dataset failed to convert a character in the fil to UTF-16.
You need to convert to UTF-16 before transfer

CONVT_CODEPAGE : Abap Dump while using Transfer statment

Hi,
I am getting an abap dumb CONVT_CODEPAGE when the program is executed.
It is encountered at the Transfer statement.
The file is opened in legacy text mode.
So i assume come characters in the file are not being interpretated using the existing system codepage,thus the dump.
Pls let me know if my analysis is incorrect.
Can anyone provide me with a workaround ?
Answers will be rewarded.

LOAD_PROGRAM_LOST and CONVT_CODEPAGE

Hi Guys! Need very urgent help , may be someone knows this.
In today our Prod. server has gone mad . In sm21 and st22 are many dumps(> 1000 , and new every 3-5 second) and errors like :
LOAD_PROGRAM_LOST and CONVT_CODEPAGE. From users side the T-codes are reset
"The program is changed during performance" (i'm see on russian language,It is a literal translation as I shall see in English I shall tell literally). Any help is rewarded. Regards.

Hi Juan Reyes.
Yesterday i can't replay to you, the unknow error are on my browser................
Yes trasport are imported, also the Prepare are start (befor we start Prepare and all ok). In DDXTT we find 460 fields, after some actions we could force will proceed Prepare, (before it's hangs between the phases TOOLIMPD1 and NPREPCRE0 where we can't reset Prepare). All is now good. Thanks and regards.

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 'SAPLSCP2' had to be terminated as the conversion

The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not

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")

Runtime errors : CONVT_CODEPAGE

Dear ABAPers,
I have used a small abap report to filter the error records from orginal source file(.txt) and made a error free records in the new file and used GUI_DOWNLOAD FM to download same as .txt file.
Now am trying to use the new .txt file to upload master data Thru LSWW developed for it. But i ahve run time error as belwo.
What happened?
While a text was being converted from code page '4110' to '4102', one of
the following occurred:
- an character was discovered that could not be represented in one of
the two code pages;
- the system established that this conversion is not supported.
The running ABAP program, 'Z_RWEL_CTC_DISCOUNT' had to be terminated, since the
conversion could cause incorrect data to be generated.
2 characters could not be represented (and thus could not converted).
If 2 = 0, a second or a different error has occurred.
Can somebody quickly help about this.
Do i need to specify any value for CODEPAGe parameter in FM GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Thanks for your help.
best regards, Jilan

Hello Jilan
I am not sure if my comment will help to solve your problem but please note that the function modules for upload and download to the presentation server (i.e. local PC) are marked as obsolete with respect to Unicode compatibility. Instead use the corresponding static methods GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hi,
I have also come across this error when i was trying to upload a cProject form cProject 3.1 to cProject 4.0.

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...

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?

If I am not wrong you are working on a Unicode enabled system. That is why this error is coming.
Look at the link below, where the solution is provided.

DUMP:
here i am getting dump saying that : You cannot convert the character set
Runtime Error          CONVT_CODEPAGE
Exception              CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE
What happened?
While a text was being converted from code page '4102' to '4110', one of
the following occurred:
- an character was discovered that could not be represented in one of
the two code pages;
- the system established that this conversion is not supported.
2 characters could not be represented (and thus could not converted).
If 2 = 0, a second or a different error has occurred.
Please Help.
Thanks

Hi
I think some basis related configuartions to be done
Try like this and inform me
A cyclic job runs, which processes the messages seen in the SOST queue.
Are you sure it's not the frequency of the cyclic job, rather than the
number of messages in the queue, that you are observing? In messages
that are queued and before the cyclic job runs, "wait for comm. service"
is the normal status.
If you mean that there are always 4 items queued in SOST regardless of
the cyclic send job, then I have no ideas. I would have thought there
was no way to do that.
when the send job runs it just never
picks them up & sends them, while it picks up many others. The send job
is somehow blind to these; no error message occurs. In this case, I
'delete' them from the queue (in SOST) and then 'undelete' (drop down
menu -> /Go to /Deleted Items) them and then re-queue them. THEN they
actually get picked up & sent when the next cyclic send job executes.

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
The running ABAP program 'CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE============CP' 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 18141. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
I have tried setting the codepage parameter of the READ method, but to no success.
Anyone ??

Friend,
Call the FM like below....
CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'
EXPORTING
    IM_XSTRING        = x
   IM_ENCODING       = 'UTF-8'
IMPORTING
   EX_STRING         = x.

CONVT_CODEPAGE
