Problem with Gui_download using ASC File type - japanese characters

Question

Hi,
During upgrade,while downloading data for japanese characters using GUI_DOWNLOAD Function module with file type as 'ASC', the space between 2 fields data getting much wider compared to 4.6C Version ws_download Function module's  data.
Example: the gap between first field data and second field data in ECC 6.0 is 6 characters length,but in 4.6C it is 2 characters length.
Is there any possibility to get the results similar to 4.6c version.Please give your valueable suggestions.
Thanks

Hi Sandra
Please find the detailed information for your questions.
1.Internal table content before download:During Debugging,it was observed that internal table content was same in both versions.For testing,i used only brand new data(Transaction entry).
2.Download with code Page conversion:Yes,codepage parameter 4103 was explicitly passed into GUI_DOWNLOAD Function module.Also the front end code page which is used by system is 4110 . No errors occured.
3.System is an Unicode system only.
4.Actually this 6 character does not refer the byte value,only the gap between 2 fields data is getting referred in ECC 6.0.Please find the below example.
Example - File data after Download:
ECC 6.0: Field1            Field2      (gap - 6 characters space between 2 fields data)  Using GUI_Download
data       u0152©Ïu201Dԍu2020      EN                               
     4.6C: Field1            Field2       (gap - 2 characters space between 2 fields data) Using WS_Download
     data    u0152©Ïu201Dԍu2020  EN    
Note:Special characters are Japanese characters:
