Save as TXT, ANSI

Hi all,

We have migrated to XI 3 from 6.5, on Win2k3 an Oracle. We have some documents that we used to save as txt for exporting data to another application, and in XI 3 the encoding used when saving as txt with DesktopIntelligence is UTF-8. In 6.5 version was ANSI. Is any place where we can configure it to ANSI?

Thanks in advance

Hi Smike,

1. From BOXIR2 onwards that is BOXIR3 also it is a Unicode supported application and the data in the report will be Unicode data therefore we canu2019t change the codepage of BOXIR3 to ANSI.

1.. Open the text file and apply the following workflow.

2. File > Save As > Save as Type > Plain Text > Other Encoding > UTF8 The resulting

file will not have any problems.

3. Would request you to visit the following link

Hi Sarbhjeet Kaur,

Firstly thanks for your time,

As a temporaly solution we open txt files with notepad and save with ansi encoding. But we want to schedule monthly generation of those txt files for exporting data to another application, as we had in the 6.5 version. We have tried creating enviroment variable like mentioned in that message but is a workaround for documents without special caracters, and is not our case, all data is in Spanish(ñ,á...).

We have opened a incident to SAP and they already have people working on it.

Thanks,

Smike
