How to save a file in unicode (UTF-8)

Hello,
I'm trying to save a xml file in unicode (UTF-8) in a 4.6C system. I tried the OPEN DATASET 'file' IN TEXT MODE FOR OUTPUT ENCODING UTF-8 but this is not available in 4.6C. Does anybody have an idea how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Roel

Hi Roel,
There is a workaround for this issue.
Use code below:
encoding = 'utf-8'.
data: codepage            type cpcodepage.
call function 'SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME'
    exporting
      external_name = encoding
    importing
      sap_codepage = codepage
    exceptions
      not_found     = 1
      others        = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
endif.
call function 'SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS'
    exporting
      inbuff           = sourcedata_xml
      inbufflg         = length
      incode           = codepage
      outcode          = codepage
      substc_space     = 'X'
      substc           = '00035'
    importing
      outbuff          = custom_data
    exceptions
      invalid_codepage = 1
      internal_error   = 2
      cannot_convert   = 3
      fields_bad_type = 4
      others           = 5.
Now write this custom_data onto application server by using open dataset and transfer.
Also have a look at this weblog, there is a code sample in it.

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

You want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Read/Write file in Unicode (UTF-16)

Hi, I have some issue to write a file in Unicode (UTF-16)
I have to read a file with LabView, change some parameters and write the new data into the same file. The file uses Unicode UTF-16.
I downloaded some library here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10153
I can read the file, convert the data to UNI/ASCII/UNI, and then write the file. But when I open the new file with an editor like Notepad++ there are some unexpected characters at the end of the line.
Even reading the file and writing exactly the same data doesn'not work.
I attached an example.
Thanks for you kind support.
Solved!

Right-click on your Read and Write Text File functions. There is an option to "Convert End Of Line". Turn that off on both functions.
As a side not, you don't need the Close File functions. The Read and Write Text File functions will close the file if the file reference output is not wired.

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

HELP!!!! How to save xml file!!!Anyone can help???

Hi,
It is urgent for me to know how to save xml file. I use VC++6.0, Oracle xdk 9.0.0.0.0 or 9.0.0.0.0Abeta under windows98.
It is OK to compile the program with print() method. But system will tell me there is illegal operation when I run it. If I delete the line with print(), the result will be normal.
in class node, there is two functions
void print(ostream *out = &cout, uword level = 0,uword step = 4);
void print(DOMString buffer, size_t bufsize, uword level = 0, uword step = 4);
Is there anyone who may tell me how to use them? to write back specific xml file?
Without print(), I can not save the xml file...It seems in Oracle xdk9.0.0.0.0, there is no obvious function to save the file.(or because I am a new comer , not familier with DOM)
Can anyone tell me how to save xml file? or just paste an example! It is very a little urgent to me...Hope you give me some ideas....
Many thanks in advance!!!!
yours,
Fiena

How can I create files in unicode format without "byte order mark"?

Hello together,
I have to export files in UTF-8 format and have to send them to another partner system which works with linux as operating system.
I have tried the different possibities to create files with ABAP. But nothing works 100% how I want.
Some examples:
1.)
OPEN DATASET [filename] FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
If I create a file in this way and download it from application server to local system the result for file format in a unicode text edior like NotePad is "ANSI AS UTF-8". This means I have no BYTE ORDER MARK inside.
But it is also possible that the file format is only ANSI if the file contains no "special characters", isn't it?
In my test cases I create 3 files. 2 of them has format "ANSI AS UTF-8", and one only "ANSII".
After transfer to Linux I get as result 2 times UTF8 and one time ASCII as file format.
2.)
OPEN DATASET [filename] FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8 WITH BYTE ORDER MARK.
With this syntax the result in local editor looks like ok. I get as format really "UTF-8".
But I get problems with the system which receives the files.
All files has the file format UTF-8 on Linux but the interface / script can not read the file with BYTE ORDER MARK.
This is a very big problem for me.
Do anybody of you know if it possible to force creation in UTF-8 without a BYTE ORDER MARK?
This means more or less the first example but all files should have UTF-8 format!
Thanks in advance
Christian

This means it is not possible to create a pure unicode file without the byte order mark?
You wouldn't happen to know how a file with byte order mark should read on a Linux system?
Or if this possible or not?

Christian
