Error "conversion of a text from codepage '4103' to codepage '1100' "

Hello,
Greetings!
Please help me with this Error while trying to transfer data to application server.
My data contains this characters "*".
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
Transfer <data> to p_file.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.
<data> contains "*" characters.
At the conversion of a text from codepage '4103' 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 'ZRPPO_TEST' 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 2. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
mentioned above, has occurred.
Thanks.
Regards,

Hello,
1100 is  ISO 8859-1 charset.
The only char there looking like a double quote is U+0022 QUOTATION MARK, the normal ASCII dblquote. This is definitely contained in both codepages.
BUT: in Unicode (4103), there are tons of other, similar looking, variants of quotes or quotation marks which cannot be converted to 1100.
What you can do to find out what exact char you have:
In the Unicode system, copy the character from GUI display (e.g. in ABAP debugger)  into Windows Wordpad, mark this char in Wordpad with the mouse and press ALX+x
This will convert the char to its Unicode codepoint (22 -> U+0022 for the ASCII dbl quote).

    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).

  • 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.

    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 ...

  • 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.

    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..

    Hello ,
    The hueristics sap_pp_002 you are using is based on algorithm "planning of std. lots".
    For converting Supply Network Planning (SNP) orders or Capable-to-Match(CTM) orders into Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) orders, try to  use a heuristic based on the algorithm /SAPAPO/HEU_SNP_CONVERT, such as the standard heuristic SAP_SNP_SNGL..
    I think the above mentioned hueristics should be able to solve the problem .
    Also for more information refer to below link.

  • 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.

  • Error while reading excel file from application server into internal table.

    Hi experts,
    My requirement is to read an excel file from application server into internal table.
    Hence I have created an excel file fm_test_excel.xls in desktop and uploaded to app server using CG3Z tcode (as BIN file type).
    Now in my program I have used :
    OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
    DO.
    READ DATASET v_filename INTO wa_tab.
    The statement OPEN DATASET works fine but I get a dump (conversion code page error) at READ DATASET statement.
    Error details:
    A character set conversion is not possible.
    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 'Y_READ_FILE' 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 445. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
    mentioned above, has occurred.
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
    caught and
    therefore caused a runtime error.
    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 '/usr/sap/read_files/fm_test_excel.xls'. (further information about
    the file: "X 549 16896rw-rw----201105170908082011051707480320110517074803")
    Also let me know whether this is the proper way of reading excel file from app server, if not please suggest an alternative .

    Karthik

    Hi,
    Try to use OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY mode encoding default. instead of OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR INPUT IN text mode encoding default.
    As I think you are uploading the file in BIN format to Application server and trying to open text file.

  • 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?

  • BSP Error when copying text from email to Note section of a transaction

    Hi All,
    We are using CRM2007 for both the Interaction Centre and Sales Web Client.
    When a user is creating a transaction in both roles, if one copies a piece of text from an email into the note section of a transaction at times the web client crashes and gives a BSP error.
    It seems that cetain symbols are not recognised and cannot be converted when they are copied into the note section. The symbols I have noticed this to occur on are the dash symbol and the apostrophe (') symbol.
    The symbols are fine when they are typed in directly, the issue only occurs if they are copied in.
    The web client cannot handle this exception and falls over as a result.
    However, if the text is copeid into the note section of a transaction in CRM online, any symbols it cannot convert correctly automatically convert to a hash (#) symbol.
    Has anyone come across this issue before? Or have an idea as to how it could be resolved?
    Even if it was possible for the webclient to convert any unknown symbols automatically into a hash (#) symbol like CRM Online so the web client would not fall over on save of a transaction.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
    If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
    Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
    That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
    Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!
