UNICODE system access for further development of connectors

[Former Member]

As there has been a bit of activity on the forums around issues with UNICODE and the various Scripting Language connectors, I'd like sort this out for Perl, Python and Ruby.

Unfortunately I do not have access to a UNICODE based system, so I have never been able to persue this.

Is there anyone (in particular someone at SAP - really) who could arrange access for me so that this work can be done - This is something that is in the interests of the community, so it's a chance for someone to make a contribution (hint hint and turning of screws etc. :-).

All that is required is basic development access ie. ABAP developer work bench, and the ability to run, monitor, and debug RFC calls.

Hello everyone - I have spent a busy month reengineering saprfc for Ruby, including rewrtting a large portion of the C code, introduce comprehensive UNICODE support. This support inclues the use of librfcu, and libsapu16 supplied by SAP for UNICODE support in RFC. As I do not have access to a UNICODE enabled system, I have had to make do in a large part, by emulating conditions to get this code to a point where it can be community tested (thanks also goes to Gregor for loaning his environment also).

For the brave - please download from http://www.piersharding.com/download/ruby/saprfc-0.20.tar.gz and follwo the instructions in the README file, paying particular attention to the requirements for the UNICODE version of the RFCSDK, and retireving the u16lit.pl script from OSS.

And help with the testing.

Cheers,

Piers Harding.

Hi Piers,

I hope we can go on with our debugging next week. I also try to install a Unicode system on my Debian Box.

I think we can call this one solved now due to this thread:

Thanks for the help with testing etc.
