    Codepage Conversion Error (CONVT - CODEPAGE) While Executing OPEN DATASET Statement

    Uploaded by

    Arif Somuncu
    This document describes a codepage conversion error that can occur when executing an OPEN DATASET statement in ABAP. The error happens when the file being opened has a different encoding than what is expected. There are two resolutions: 1) Provide a file with the expected Unicode encoding, or 2) Change the OPEN DATASET statement to specify the actual encoding of the file being opened. Specifying the correct encoding avoids the conversion error.

    1731360 - Codepage conversion error (CONVT_CODEPAGE) while executing OPEN


    DATASET statement
    Component: BC-I18 (Internationalization (I18N)), Version: 3, Released On: 02.08.2017

    Symptom
    At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4103'
    At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102'
    ABAP statement OPEN DATASET processed wrong encoding
    Conversion error
    A character set conversion is not possible
    A character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two codepages
    It was detected that this conversion is not supported

    Environment
    All Unicode SAP releases

    Cause
    The OPEN DATASET statement expects a file converted in Unicode, but the processed data are converted with another
    codepage.
    Example: "open dataset <full_name> for input in text mode encoding default"
    If you choose ENCODING DEFAULT then the file is processed with codepage 4110 (UTF-8) in a Unicode system. In many
    cases the provided file is non-Unicode encoded.

    Resolution
    There are two ways to avoid this conversion error.
    1. Provide a file with Unicode encoding (UTF-8, codepage 4110)
    There are two ways to convert the file:
    a. Report RSCP_CONVERT_FILE

    This report asks for a source and a target codepage. Some more information are given in SAP Note 747615 - "Tool for
    converting files from one code page to another".

    b. Command SAPICONV

    This command is used from operating system level. Please find a more detailed description in SAP Note 752859 -
    "sapiconv - a tool for converting the encoding of files".

    2. Change the coding to the format of the provided file


    The second option to avoid this conversion error is to change the statement to a valid one. There are three ways to proceed.
    a. "in text mode encoding non-unicode"

    This option requires a file with a non-unicode encoding as defined as SY-LANGU.

    b. "in text mode encoding unicode"

    This option requires a file in UTF-8.

    c. "in legacy text mode code page xxxx"

    This option requires a file with specific encoding. "xxxx" is a placeholder for the necessary codepage.

    More information about encoding is given in SAP Note 27 - "Recommendations for the ABAP file interface".
