Hello,

I have an XML file , in that there is a field which holds Arabic Script as some entries and also some other language.

I am creating an custom table (ZTABLE). I am not understanding what datatype to be used , say if i am using char type then it is storing as ##########.

Rgds.,

Try to create a TEXT table for your ZTABLE, as TEXT table can hold descriptions in multiple language.

Just search SDN for TEXT table you will get many threads on that.

Hi,

Other idea is have spras field as one of the key of ur table. Based on the language update the data into ur field along with the language.

Check table MAKT. You will get an idea.

This # is coming because of that particular language might not be installed in ur system. Check with your BASIS team for this. They can help u out.

Data type for the text field, u can use character.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Is this a Unicode SAP system and is Arabic an installed language (trans RZ11, parameter: zcsa/installed_languages)?
