codepage: GUI_DOWNLOAD

[Former Member]

Hi,

i use the function GUI_DOWNLOAD to download a .txt file. i use the codepage 4310 and the txt file encodes as UTF-8. now i want to encode the .txt file as unicode so that we can open it using EXCEL without broken characters.

Anyone can tell me which codepage can i use?

Thanks.

Hi qiuguo,

UTF-8 is used for Unicode...Do you need UTF-16 codepage ?

Hi,

Maybe i didn't describe the question clearly.

My problem is that i download a .txt file on local and open it. then i use the menu file - > save as, it would pop a window, on the bottom of which there will be the code type.

the code type list includes ANSI , UNICODE, UNICODE BIGENDIAN AND UTF-8. now i want the code type as UNICODE ,but use the codetype 4310 it would be UTF-8.

Pls help me.
