Hi All,
I am using SAP RFC SDK classic library to connect to a Sap R/3 4.7 (non-unicode) server from a Windows app. I use Windows-1250 encoding to construct the string from byte values received and I am getting some wrong characters.
My app does:
1.Invoke a Custom RFC using the SAP RFCSDK Unicode library(classic).
2. What the custom RFC does: It extracts data from some specified table and populates it in a table type parameter (CHAR data type).
3. I get the return param, convert it to string using the Windows encoding corresponding to the partner encoding (in this case I use Windows-1250 corresponding to 1401).
What I observe is:
Some characters are not converted properly. The reason is Windows-1250 directly maps to the 1404(Front end codepage), whereas the value that I am getting is encoded in 1401(backend codepage)
For eg. Z caron character, the value I am expecting is 0x8e, whereas I am getting 0xAE. And I can see in the SAP table (TCP02), zcaron is represented as 0x8e in 1404 and 0xAE in 1401.
Question:
To get the correct characters in my windows app, do I have to convert the data fetched from the backend codepage to the frontend codepage and then use the Windows encoding to get the characters? If so, How can I achieve it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeevitha
