Documentation

Definition

This switch changes the byte order when the file is imported from the application server or network.

This can be necessary if the system contains servers that use different byte orders due to varying processor architectures or operating systems. This indicator is active in Unicode systems only. Also refer to SAP Note 552464.

Use

This switch is typically required if the file is created in one batch run on a special batch server and is now to be copied from a dialog server to the local PC.

If this switch is set incorrectly, it can lead to the following errors:

  • A character set conversion performed during copying returns an incorrect result.
  • For the EC sales lists of certain countries, the file format can be checked. This check is not carried out correctly.

The program tries to determine the byte order of the file. A byte order mark (BOM) that may exist is used or the first characters of the file content are analyzed. A warning message may be output.

Dependencies

This switch is shown in UNICODE systems only.
