JDE Technical - Flat File Encoding Issue

Problem Statement

Sometimes We came across the situation where flat file from third party is in different file format. It becomes difficult for JD Edward to read the file.

I face a situation where I created a JDE program to read the flat file although the code were correct but still my program was not working. The problem was the file format from third party was in Unicode format whereas while testing we use ANSI format.

Solution

 Although Flat file is coming from third party. It is not recommended to change file format. For such scenarios . Go to application P93081.

Add the required report , version and define the Encoding. In my case it was Unicode (UTF16)
