SAP Note 480671 - The Text Language Flag of LANG Fields

Component : Internationalization (I18N) - RFC

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/480671 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
RFC transactions between Unicode and non-Unicode systems, and R3trans data transport, often lead to incorrect text data display due to improper code page conversions. This is heightened by the absence or misconfiguration of the text language flag within the LANG fields, which informs the system of the text data's encoding. Effective with SAP release 6.20, structures require this flag to ensure accurate data handling, necessitating maintenance actions outlined in the note. Proper implementation helps maintain data integrity during Unicode conversions and RFC communications by linking language fields directly to their corresponding code pages.
