Form data with Greek language

[Former Member]

Hi!

I try to insert data into an html template using Greek language with ITS 6.20, with Greek language keyboard.

On html form I see that the symbol of language are correct but when I manage this into abap module-pool the data (the caracters) are converted into another language.

Can you help me to undestand the problem?

Thanks,

GLuca

Hi,

Does that also happen with SAP GUI for Windows or the Java SAP GUI? Do you use a unicode backend?

Best regards,

Henning.

Yes, I use unicode backend (was 6.20) and the webgui standard generate the same result.

In the trace files I see that a function scandard do not convert the code-page.

Thanks

Hi Simeone,

Since you're using a Unicode WAS, the ITS should be configured respectively. It's easy to check whether your ITS is configured properly: on the HTML page with your form, just look which encoding is selected by a browser. If it is UTF-8, we're OK. If it is anything else, the ITS in installed incorrectly. In the ITS registry (config/ItsDefault.xml file) there's an NLS key, with all supported languages and codepages used for them listed. Be sure that NLS/El/SapCP is set to 4110.

Registry changes take place after you restart the ITS service.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Alex

Alexander,

how I can check on the html if the encoding UTF-8 is selected? I use charset windows-1253.

I have try to modify SapCP on xml (with stop and start of service) but the system work in the same mode.

Thank you very much,

GLuca

Hi Simeone,

1) In the sourcecode view of a HTML page you can see for which charset the page was designed if there is a meta-tag "content-type". Further information: http://www.w3.org/International/O-charset

2) In your browser you can see which charset was selected (automatically by the browser according to 1) - or manually by you).

a) Internet Explorer: View --> Encoding.

b) Mozilla: View --> Character Coding.

Regards,

Henning.

Unfortunately the system doesn't work.

I have try with UTF-8; with a new value into xml on the server, etc but the result is the same.

If I try to execute fm 'SYSTEM_CODEPAGE' on the R/3 system (with Greek language) the result is CODEPAGE and CURRENT_DYNAMIC_CODEPAGE equals to 6500.

Can it help to solve the problem?

Thank you very mutch,

Gianluca
