Hi,

I have a text file which is in Japanese . When I open it in the desktop it is in Japanese and I FTP it from desktop to UNIX server. When I read the file using Open Dataset , it is reading junk characters and updating the table with junk values. Anyone has any idea how to retain the file in Japanese character in the UNIX server as well?

Thanks

Papiya

Hi Papiya,

what codepage is being used on the UNIX machine? Best option is to save the text file in UTF-8 format and open it with this encoding on the remote server. Please refer to the Unicode ABAP help pages: [http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET.htm|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET.htm]

Is your system a Unicode system?
