Dear Baanboard,

It is an Unicode Environment (Database & LN).

Seems to be a problem either with japanese or german descriptions.

We found 3 japanese descriptions modified them, deleted them but the error still exist.

Somebody has an idea how to find the reason or an workaround.

Infor Support has some errors with UTF16 in other areas.

We use UTF8.

The error comes ONLY while exporting table ttgfd502 for company 000.

Maybe something comes into the system with the featurepacks or with the language packs.

Thanks for any help in advance.

It's an old message but I wonder how did you solve your problem. I'm facing the same issue now; not with table dump but with data dictionary export.
I'm moving a customized session from dev to prod environment. Labels in Data Dictionary dump (ttiex1280m000) are exported in Unicode; I can see them in uncompressed dumpd01 file. But Import DD sessions (ttiex1285m000, ttiex1288m000) seem to expect them converted, in my case to ISO88592 (Polish). Do you know how to force Export Data Dictionary to perform conversion, or how to force Import Data Dictionary to accept Unicode?
