hi community,
a few days ago i looked for a solution to bring unicode-strings (from a external database) via ABAP (rel. 4.7, non-unicode-sap-system)
and via OLE2 to EXCEL-2003. there is no possibility to switch my GUI (windows) to 'characterset = unicode' - from my point of view
that's the crucial point (because there is no unicode-sap-system).
to realize i take the following way:
b e f o r e transfering to OLE2 i have to translate the unicode-string (from cp=4103 (utf16)) to codepage 8400 (simplified chinese,
based on GB2312; MS CP936) a n d switch the GUI-characterset to 'Simplified Chinese GB2312' - and the world is alright.
similarly it works for korean (destin.cp=8500, GUI-characterset=Korean).
