SAP Note 837748 - RFASLDPC: Incorrect processing under Unicode

Component : Umsatzsteuer - VAT reporting (country specific)

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/837748 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
After copying files in Unicode format from SAP application servers to local PCs, issues may arise where the transferred file contains alternating blocks of 128 correct characters and 128 zero bytes. This problem, specifically on Unicode systems, results from unwanted ASCII conversion during file transfer, despite user settings via parameter DCP (set as NONE to halt conversion). To address this, the update adjusts RFASLDPC's behavior to convert data solely to code page 1100, maintaining legacy operations and ensuring proper data handling in Unicode environments by necessitating appropriate data writing by application programs, as detailed in SAP Note 825756.

Key words :
local file consists, user parameter dcp =, standard code page 1100, function module translate_codepage_except, user parameter dcp, application programs write, rfasldpc program corresponds, rfasldpc converts, program behavior, application server
