[CLOSED] converting UTF8 to UTF16
Hello All,

I have a fixed flat file which has some accented as well as special characters.

the size of it is A50B .Im using code page 65001 (UTF8) in the master so that webfocus picks up and displays accented characters.

The problem is since some accented characters occupies 2 bytes instead of 1 and since the total length is A50B (50 Bytes), some of the values are getting appended to the next field.

Unfortunately reporting server does not support UTF-16. Im using 7.7.02.



Appreciate your help.

The size of a particular field is A50B which has these special and accented characters. I managed to show it in the report. but because UTF8 treats accented characters as 2 bytes and the total length of field is A50B, im having issues as the end valuesof the field are moving to the next field.

I've never had success with FIX format files and UTF-8. For me the resolution has been to use pipe delimited files and a DFIX mfd. Not sure if that is possible for you.
