file in ANSI format

[former_member745782]

hello everybody,

In my XI 3.0 i have a IDOC to FTP interface.

My customer asked me to have file in ANSI format. At the moment i use UTF-16 encoding, so it's Unicode.

I tried to use a script for change format after save the file, but this don't work.

Does someone have a idea for solve this problem?

thanks id advance

Hi Alessandro,

try using UTF-8 encoding in the FTP Receiver Adapter. If the file doesn't have a BOM (which I assume it won't as it originated as an IDoc) then the Receiver file system will identify it as an ANSI file.

Hi,

please select appropriate encoding type in receiver file channel.

I think  you will need to use ISO-8859-1 as encoding type.

Supported encoding types can be found in link below:

hi!

I tried to use this encoding but with this solution i lost most part of special characters like this:

I would recommend you to handle through script at the file system level after ftp process.

Hi Alex,

It seems to me like the characters you are in need of is located in ISO-8859-2 (Central European) encoding. It should be possible for you to use this encoding in the file channel instead of ISO-8859-1 (Western European). Also see full reference to ISO-8859-x.

Good I hate text encoding!

You can use CP1257 Encoding in your receiver CC as per the below link
