Hi tapan,

I am trying to download the file using open dataset for output.

but i think we need to convert to unicode before downloading the file.

cuurently when i download the file it is saving in ANSI format. but i wanted it in Unicode format. this format you can check by opeing the text file and say Save as ,below you will see differnent encoding formats like ANSI, UTF_8 , UNICODE, UNICODE Big Endian. my requirement is to download in Unicode format.

please let me know if there is any class or method thoroug we can create unicode files.

Hi,

I guess UTF-16 is not supported.Even SAP help says UTF-8 should be maintained.
