Hi guys,

 

using PB2017 R3.

 

I need to create an XML document from my app.

When i do the fileopen i code the EncodingAnsi parameter , but nonetheless the file being created is unicode ( i can see this when i do a save as in notepad).

 

The receiving party of my xml file insists this should be an ANSI file.

 

What can be the reason that the file ends being unicode even when i specifally coded the EncodingAnsi parameter please ?

 

One more thing : when i open my xml file in notepad , do a save as ANSI file , the file is accepted by the receiving party. When it's unicode its not.

 

What am i missing here ?

 

 

TIA

John

Hi John;

   Can you post a snippet of your App's working code?

Also ...

  1. Do you use "Stream" mode in the file open?
  2. Do you convert the XML data into a Blob for writing?
  3. Do you use the "extended" methods (ie: FileriteEx)?

Regards ... Chris

I only removed the blob(ls_a) and used FileWriteEx of the string instead of the blob(string).

Ahhh .. Blob method processing probably should have been coded as ...



Blob (ls_a, EncodingANSI! )
