Invalid character

Post by srimitta »

Hi,

While extracting data from SAP using ABAP stage, job is aboting with below errors.

I Couldn't find similar issues on this forum, anybody have any idea on how to deal with this kind of errors.
  • ABAP,0: Invalid character(s) ([xDE00]) found converting Unicode string (code point(s): [x0013][x6CFC][x2C00][x0001][xDE00]) to codepage UTF-8, substituting.
    ABAP,0: Invalid character(s) ([xDC00]) found converting Unicode string (code point(s): [x0013][x6D01][xDC00][x0003][x0800]) to codepage UTF-8, substituting.

While I can't use the SAP stage here, how about just making your job's character set unicode and avoiding the conversion altogether. I did a quick check, and it seems that 0xDE00 is not mapped in Unicode and thus cannot be converted to UTF-8 in any case. What character is it supposed to represent?

The CJK characters in UniCode are in the range 0x4E00 through 0x9FFF, your 0xD00 character is outside of that and is probably not a valid character, which is why it cannot be converted.
