SAP Note 1719798 - RFASLDPC: Systems with different byte orders

Summary :
Files transferred from the SAP application server to a PC using RFASLDPC are unreadable due to byte order inconsistencies across differing system architectures (big endian, little endian) in SAP ERP environments. This issue arises particularly when files generated on a background server are moved via a dialog server to a PC. SAP Note 552464 provides additional insights into byte orders. To correct this, a new selectable option is added to RFASLDPC, allowing users to adjust byte order during file imports, ensuring compatibility and readability on local PCs.
