SAP Note 13876 - SAPGUI: Abnormal Termination, SAP_CODEPAGE <> 1100

Component : RFC - Frontend Services - use subcomponents (see note 1322184)

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/13876 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The frontend cannot communicate with the application server if the SAP_CODEPAGE environment variable is set to a character set different from the application server's. This often occurs in R/3 systems using ISO8859-x code pages. When R/3 is regenerated, SAPGUI terminates with an "Abnormal Termination" error, even requiring a Windows restart. The issue arises because the necessary conversion file is absent in the frontend, crucial for SAPGUI during data transmission via RFC. The solution involves generating the conversion file using transaction SM59 and transferring it to the frontend SAPGUI directory, setting the PATH_TO_CODEPAGE variable appropriately.

Key words :
call sm59 menu option rfc -> generate conv, file <source-code-page><target-code-page>, cp 1504 = ms windows cp 1251, additional key words error, platform specific path identifier, set path_to_codepage=<sapgui working_directory>, source code page, target code page, set sap_codepage=1504                   set path_to_codepage=, frontend environment variable sap_codepage
