Component : Internationalization (I18N) -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/195490 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Note clarifies issues around message 00 196 and CPJ Syslog entries due to incompatible GUI code page settings from SAPLogon or SAP_CODEPAGE environment variable, mainly from releases prior to R/3 4.6C. It elucidates how GUI code page is automatically selected post-4.6C leveraging the TCP0F database table which details system and frontend code pages along with languages. Enhancements or modifications in the TCP0F table must consider frontend type, system code page, language, and the corresponding frontend code page. This setup supports valid SAPGUI logon, handling special characters, and system to frontend communications across various platforms including Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac, and OS/2.
