Regarding code page conversions

Hi ,
I have a query on code pages in unicode evironment.
first of all sorry for big mail on my question
There were a couple of issues when we have upgraded from 4.7 to 6.0 . These issues were mainly in the code page conversions from one code page xxxx to yyyy and the dataset transfers.
the problem which im facing is trying to understand exactly what is this code page doing in the back ground and these multilingual conversions all about .
there is a custom code page that my client has made in his landscape and now in majority of the interfaces we need to handle the code based on this code page .
for ex in the open dataset statement we add legacy text mode code page p_code ignoring conversion errors message lv_message .
i see some of the characters especially scandinivian korean chinese and japanese giving some major problem during the file transfers to unix and ftp environment .
case 1.
now we are referring to a custom code page 9xxx . now take a character as ä , now when i write a transfer statement
with referene to this code page it is displaying as # in unix path.
now taking the hexa decimal value of this character if i search in the custom code page (tcode scp with the hexa value of such characters ) there is a value already present in this code page 9xxx, now when i have a value maintained why am i gettina a # in the unix server .. how to check the consistency /validity of this code page
case 2.
some hungarian characters like o with a tilt on top cause conversion error dumps during the transfer . again the code page has this hexa value in it .
why in this case the conversion from 4102(basically utf-16)
to code page 9xxx is failing . why it is calling 4102 in this case ?
ignoring conversion error bypasses this strange chars (cxsycodepage*dump) but how to hold the correct value at any point of time in the desired server i mean at last i need to transfer o with a tilt instead of a # .
Please give some in depth work around solution instead of some vague answers .
Will appreciate your effort and time for this .
Thnx much .
Br,
Vijay.

Code page conversion

Hi
I have requirement to pick up UTF 7 files. In sender FCC i have used code page conversion bean. But the adapter is not accepting UTF 7 format. What could be another option.
I am using a 3rd party adapter (XLink adapter) and the error is occurring here itself.
Thanks

Hi pratichi,
You can develop a module which converts the file content from UTF-7 to UTF-8 o other enconding which be valid for your adapter.
This module must called before the your adapter module.

HTTP-Receiver: Code page conversion error from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hello experts,
In one of our interfaces we are using the payload manipulation of the HTTP receiver channel to change the payload code page from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. And from time to time we are facing the following error:
u201CCode page conversion error UTF-8 from system code page to code page ISO-8859-1u201D
Iu2019m quite sure that this error occurs because of non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the processed message. And here comes my question:
Is it possible to change the error behaviour of the code page converter, so that the error will be ignored?
Perhaps the converter could replace the disruptive character with e.g. u201C#u201D?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hello.
I'm not 100% sure if this will help, but it's a good Reading material on the subject (:

The part of the XSLT / Java mapping might come in handy in your situation.
you can check for problematic chars in the code.

Code Page Conversion from 4110 to 4103

Hi,
I'm getting a short dump at the execution of the statement READ DATASET. The short dump says a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two codepages.
I have used a standard SAP Program which converts the code pages ( RSCP_CONVERT_FILE ). Unfortunately this program also short dumps when i specify the source as 4110 Target 4104 and the filename on application server.
I've tried using NON UNICODE addition but have realised that it's not the proper way of doing it in a Unicode System.
The Problem is with one special symbol " in the flat file. This symbol is not get recognised by the program and this is getting identified as # when i see it during debugging.
Please help me in this regard.
Kindly do not send me the documentation on OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET i have read that several times.
Thanks,
Sai

Code page conversion for chinese characters

Hi,
we receive an XML via JMS sender adapter where the code page in the Sending MQ system is cp850.
One tag we receive contain chinese characters but are encoded as below
<FAPIAO><Title>Ã©Â©Â¬Ã¤Â¹Â</Title><Remark>*Ã¦ÂÂ¤Ã¯Â¼ÂÃ¦Â³Â¢Ã§ÂÂ¹Ã¨ÂÂ*</Remark></FAPIAO>
We have tried the messageTransformBean in the sender JMS adapter to convert into UTF-8, but that gives no change.
If we use some other code page, BIG5 some of the characters are converted to chinese characters, but we need to have it as UTF-8.
Is this possible or do we have to use some other codepage?
Best Regards
Olof

XML has to be transported as binary always.
Remove the encoding parameter in comm. channel.
Besides: obviously this is UTF-8, so how can you say, the code page of the sending system is cp850?
It seems, that you have a wrong information.

Code Page Conversion Error

Hi,
I have a problem while downloading a file which is generated by a standard report program. The R/3 server runs on UNIX and the target system for the file download is Windows XP. When i try to download the file an error is displayed - 'Individual characters could not be converted from code page 4102 to Code P.1100'
Also when i see the file contents using the display option, all the characters are non-english characters (>> >>>>>>>>> etc)
Could some one help?
Thanks in advance,
Sandeep Joseph

Hi,
I set a parameter(DCP(Default Code Page)) in the system and gave the value as 4102 and now it works fine. Can anyone tell the reason why it was going wrong?
Thanks,

Regarding the File Adapter with Code Page problem

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I am processing file at receiver end. The code page of the file is Cp037. When I try with this, I am facing the problem. Is there anyway where I can chage the code page of the file which is to processed by File adapter receiver.
I have one idea but I don't know whether it is possible or not. It is to use XML Anonymizer Module.
Please get back to me with your ideas.
Regards,
Achari

Hi Achaari,
Cp037 ( EBCDIC ) is not a basic but an extended encoding set which might not be supported by the file encoding parameter at the receiver file adapter.
Either you can try the code page conversion using java code as mentioned in this[ post|Code page conversion;
Please refer Problem with EBCDIC
Michale's reply and the sriram's reply which talks about some work around using .BAT files.

String data code page - DB2 - Data Direct - Data Services

We are trying to connect to a DB2 source (Database product = DB2 OS/390 8.1.5) using Data Direct drivers and following error is showing up when we test the connectivity.
SQLConnect: Retrying Connect.
SQLConnect: Failed...
SQLSTATE = S1000
NATIVE ERROR = 0
MSG = [SAP BusinessObjects][ODBC DB2 Wire Protocol driver]String data code page conversion failed.
Wondering if anyone has had similar issue or if someone hasany ideas regarding how this can be resolved would be great.
Thanks for the help

Check whether the DB2CODEPAGE env variable is set in your OS.
issue the following query against your database -
select codepage from syscat.tables where datatype='varchar'
This should return the corresponding codepage value.
In windows, create a user variable (environment variable) called DB2CODEPAGE and assign the value you got from the previous query.
If it is unix, use th setenv command
setenv DB2CODEPAGE 'cp1252'
, for instance
You may have to restart the machine once the variable is defined

when we loading data from data source 2LIS_02_SCL, suddenly we get ABAP short dump when the data pass update rule
the Dump description as following:
While a text was being converted from code page '4110' to '1100
the following occurred:
- an character was discovered that could not be represented in
the two code pages;
- the system established that this conversion is not supported.
I check the table TCPDB in R3, which not contain code page "4110", how come occurred in code page conversion ??
I look lots of notes and help but not helpful, anyone can help me??

MDMP UNICODE CONVERSION- Global fall back code page.

Hello ,
Im doing MDMP unicode conversion. In that SPUMG settings has Global fall backup code bage.
What is exactly Global fall back code page and its uses?.
Im using 1160 has Global fall back code page in SPUMG? will there be any effect?
Thanks and Regards
Vinay

Hello Vinay,
Please have a look at the Unicode conversion Guide:
Excerpt:
"Whenever there is no information to determine the correct code page, R3load uses the Global Fallback Code Page (GFBCP) for the conversion. Its default value is the code page which corresponds to the logon language EN, or else 1100. This is a global setting for all tables."
This basically means you should select the code page used by the majority of the users / data .
If you use 1160, then the majority of users should be based on Latin-1 (Western European code page).

Open data set / code page

Hello ,
I am sending file to print server and i am accounting problems with special characters
In first version of program ( please see the code below )
"OPEN DATASET g_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT."
The special characters l from German and French   alphabet were NOT printed properly , and we had some nonsense results . Other '"Normal "characters like A , B... are printed without errors .
To prevent this error i wrote new line of code for open data set ( below ).
"OPEN DATASET g_filename FOR OUTPUT IN   LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '4110' IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS."
This was working only when FTP was NOT used , when FTP was used i had following short dump.
I am working in SAP release 6.0
Please Advice
SHORT DUMP Message :
What happened?
    The conversion of texts in code page '4102' to code page '4110' is not
    supported here.
    The current ABAP program 'SAPLZPRN_AUTO_LBL' had to be interrupted because
     incorrect
    data would have been created by the conversion.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CODEPAGE_CONVERTER_INIT', was
     not caught in
    procedure "Z_TRANSFER_FILE" "(FUNCTION)", 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:
    Possibly, one of the codepages '4102' or '4110' - needed for the
    conversion - is unknown to the system. Another option is, that a Unicode
     codepage was specified for a file in LEGACY MODE, which is not allowed.
    Additional parameters for the codepage conversion (as , for example, the
     replacement character) might have invalid values. You can find further
    information under 'Inernal notes'.
    If the problem occurred at opening, reading, or writing of a file, then
    the file name was '/te/mm/labels/0488_20091208_051317_EC008119_01_001.dd'.

Hi,
Also check the character set supported by the Printer. Printer configuration should also be checked on SAP side to determine character set and code page using SPAD.

Code Page Selection

Hello,
We are doing an upgrade from 4.6b to ECC6.0 and also a Unicode conversion. Could someone clarify the following doubts related to vocabulary maintenance?
Will text elements used by programs be automatically translated into the right Unicode page (e.g. based on the language key provide for each text elements) or does the code page selection need to be done via the vocabulary maintenance?
Any other development objects that could be affected if the code page selection is not done via the vocabulary maintenance?
What would be the impact on the development objects if the code page selection is not done via vocabulary maintenance?
Thanks in advance,
Reena

Hi Reena,
> * Will text elements used by programs be automatically translated into the right Unicode page (e.g. based on the language key provide for each text elements) or does the code page selection need to be done via the vocabulary maintenance?
I assume you have an MDMP system. For such a system, all entries in language dependent tables will be converted based on the language key of the according entry. Text elements are stored in language dependent tables and therefore will be converted properly (if the code page fits to the language) independently of the maintenance of the vocabulary maintenance in transaction SPUMG.
> * Any other development objects that could be affected if the code page selection is not done via the vocabulary maintenance?
Actually I do not know of any. However I have to admit that I am not a developer ...
> * What would be the impact on the development objects if the code page selection is not done via vocabulary maintenance?
If you have already executed the SPUMG scan "Tables without language info", you can check the tables which inserted words into the vocabulary (choose on the selection screen : STATUS = W). Now you have to know whether the content of the listed tables is relevant for your development ...

SMTP Code Page / Charset

Dear all,
I have a problem with SMTP Code Page / Charset.
In standard ECC 6.0 system - SMTP (Code Page: 0 No conversion into other Characters Set), when sending an email with Unicode content, I can receive the email in charset="utf-8" (viewable).
But in IDES ECC 6.0 system - SMTP (Code Page: 0 No conversion into other Characters Set or 4110 Unicode UTF-8 or ...), when sending an email with Unicode content, I receive the email in charset="iso-8859-1" (un-viewable).
So I wonder there should be somewhere (NOT in TCode SCOT) sets the SMTP charset to "iso-8859-1".
Regards,

In IDES ECC 6.0 system, TCode SBWP, if I create a new message (email) with Unicode content in my language (Vietnamese), then I receive the email in charset="utf-8" (viewable). But by default, language attribute is English.
In standard ECC 6.0 system, TCode SBWP, no need to change default language English.
Well, don't know why.
