RFC FM to return Unicode or Non Unicode type

[Former Member]

Hi SDNers,

Im looking for a RFC function module which returns if the destination is or not an Unicode System.

Thanks for your help

What is the purpose of the check?

You destination is not going to change that often..

and the destination can also not switch between unicode and non unicode that often..

So why cant you first manually check if the destination is unicode or not before developing the interface?

Why do you have to do the check every time?

n SM59 there is a flag "communication to non-Unicode system", if I set this flag. Will non-unicode message format be the communication to the target system.

Also, if I have a non-unicode sender system to a SAP instance that is Unicode, are there any settings I need to make so SAP can accept the non-Unicode data? Or will it handle it straight away.

Thanks,

Sree.

I'll explain myself a little more detaily...

I have a Z program which uses the RFC function module :TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC

My problem is when a call this FM from a Non Unicode system to a Unicode System. It returns two parameters (OFFSET and LEN) which their values are duplicates. The reason is because Unicode systems uses 2 bytes to represent 1 character.

Therefore, I should find some RFC fm which returns if the destination is or not an Unicode system.

Someone have any idea?

Thanks for your answers...
