ANSI or UTF 8

[former_member283645]

Hi Experts,

what are the settings that we need to set in MDM when we have a file with ANSI or UTF 8.

Which one is preferable and what is the major difference while importing those in to MDM!!

Can anyone share your experiences

Kind Regards

Eva

Hi Eva,

These are different character coding schemes. You can read about these character sets in details on wikipedia.

With Reference to MDM, I found below content about the text format in Console reference guide(page no 250)..

"MDIS supports the following text formats: ASCII, UTF8, UTF16.

In delimited text files, all records must terminate with either a line-feed (LF) or carriage-return/line feed (CR/LF), depending on which platform MDIS is running. On Windows platforms, records must terminate with CR/LF; on Unix, records must terminate with LF."

link for console reference guide is below:

Hope this will help.

Best Regards,

Shiv
