UTF 16 BE with BOM

[rainer_hbenthal]

Hi,

i need to write a file in UTF16 BE format to a NFS share. But i could not manage to force XI to write BOM (Byte order mark) Fe FF at the beginning of the file. Its always without BOM.

How can i force XI to write the BOM? Which entry in the file processing parameters/encoding box should i enter?

UTF-16BE does not use a BOM, as the BE states the byte order already.

What happens if you just mention the file encoding as UTF-16?

The BOM determines if you have a BE or LE represantation (FE FF versus FF FE). UTF-16 creates a BOMless file. I now have a receiver who needs the BOM.
