Problem displaying Chinese Characters in SAP script form WESCHEINVERS1

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have an issue when printing they form WESCHEINVERS1 in ZH (Chinese) Logon Language. This is printined out using the output type WE01 (Application Type ME). Problem is that the hardcoded text in the sap script displays incorrectly (i.e. display is "#####" )

WE01 details in tcode V/83

Program SAPM07DR

Form Routine ENTRY_WE01

Form WESCHEINVERS1

From what I understand there are two ways to resolve this

1. Edit the print program to add the code page conversion syntax

2. Change the hardcoded text to text symbols.

In theory this should work problem is that the output type, print program, and sap script are all SAP standard.

I was wondering if any of you would know how to resolve this or if there is an OSS note for this?

I hope to hear from all of you soon.

Regards.

Follow the steps as listed below:

1. Is the Font available on Printer

Goto SP01 transaction -> Enter the Spool Number -> Execute

2. Does device type/Spool Server support the font

Goto Transaction SPAD and click Output Devices

3. SAP level Multibyte setting in place

Click ALT + F12

Select Options -> I18N

Tick Activate Multibyte functionality

4. Is appropriate font for the language used

For Simplified Chinese (ZH) language use font CNHEI, CNKAI, CNSONG
