Hi all,

we're trying to trasfer a file from a NON UNICODE ECC 6.0 system to a UNICODE ECC 6.0 one.

In detail a report in the non unicode system reads a binary file stored on a SAP directory, the file is sent via RFC to another system and downloaded to the new server, in a desired directory.

From non unicode to non unicode it works fine, from non unicode to unicode it start writing '#' everywhere. The risult is a corrupted file in the destination server. How can we avoid the problem ?

Any suggestions or examples are wellcome.

Thanks in advance,

Gianluca

Hi Gianluca,

you need to convert the file as encoding differs. Please refer to the following SAP notes:

[752859 - sapiconv - a tool for converting the encoding of files|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/752859]
[747615 - Tool for converting files from one code page to another|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/747615]

Looking at the tool to convert file, now I execute the open dataset in binary mode and I use an xstring variable to manage the file content both in writing and readng the file.

Thanks,
Gianluca
