The system code page to use when converting SAP Unicode byte arrays to strings.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"UTF-8"

Remarks

SAP returns data in byte arrays, which the server converts to a string.

This property specifies the code page the server uses to do the conversion. For example, 'UTF-8'.

This property can be useful to fix Unicode-to-multibyte encoding problems. For instance, if you are on a U.S. machine and reading from a Japanese SAP server with Japanese characters, you may need to set Charset to 'shift_jis' to display the characters properly.
