is ANSI ENCODING possible using file/j2see adapter

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am doing a file to file bypass scenario .My client has demanded that the output file should be in ANSI format.I checked the <b>file.encoding</b> option in sap-help but ANSI is not available can u suggest that what encoding type i must use.

I am thinking of using ISO-8859-1.

When you use Microsoft Notepad and safe the file with encoding "ANSI", it means code page Windows-1252. This is a proprietary character set of Microsoft.

You should use ISO-8859-1 instead.

It works for me with file encoding = cp1252.

My XI is installed on a Windows server.

Hi stephen ,

first of all thanks a lot for such authentic reply.but i have still a minor doubt.whether cp1252 support PC-ANSI format or not.Actually my client has reported that in ISO-8859-1 format which is UNIX-ANSI the carriage return is "\n" but he want carriage return as"\r\n".I have not checked using cp1252 before sending the sample to client can u once confirm that cp1252 will support PC-ANSI OR i have to use others.plz stephen reply its urgent

The CR/LF question has nothing to do with encoding.

In UNIX the end of line is marked with \n, in Windows it is marked with \r\n.

How XI treates the end-of-line depends on the system where it is installed.

There is no way to influence this. You have to change the EOL with a script.

The question is: What happens with the file after the XI has written this? Is it relevant whether the end-of-line is \r\n or not?

When you have XI installed on UNIX then I assume that cp1252 is not available is this is a Windows code page.
