ABAP and BAPI stage in DataStage Server Edition

Hi Guys,

We have a DS server job which is extracting data from SAP table using ABAP stage. This job was running fine with one SAP server. We are now migrating our jobs to new SAP server.

However, this job fails when the job is made to point to the new SAP server.The ABAP program runs fine and creates the text file from the SAP table, but the job aborts in the transformer stage with the error:
"Internal error: function 'utf_to_row()' failed"

We checked on DSXchange for the above error and found out that this error comes generally due to special characters in the source file. We checked the source file and it doesnt have any special characters and hence we are not sure why this error occurs!

We are planning to use BAPI stage instead of ABAP stage in this job to see if this issue can be fixed.

Can BAPI stage be used instead of ABAP stage for the same purpose?

Any sugegstions in this regard would be welcome

Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Seema
