Hello,

We are running LN version 10.5.

we have a problem with exporting special karakters out of LN. Exporting characters like üÜéÉ€ß with the function seq.puts() give us all kinds of unreadable characters in output .txt file.

I've assigned this problem to Infor. Their reaction was that we have to use a function "mb.export$" for every field we export which contains these specials characters.

Is their anyone who has had these problems before? Is their a better solution (like a parameter configuration) that makes the export of special characters more easier? Thanks in advance for your reaction.

Best regards,

Frank

Hello Frank,

using function mb.export as mentioned by Infor is the solution we also use to solve that character output problem. I'm not aware of any other trick to overcome that issue.

We had a similar issue in our environment where Multi Byte characters in Text were not read by an ETL tool from LN DB although in LN UI etc, those texts were perfectly readable. The Solution was to read the Multi byte text into multibyte strings and then they were stored into DB.

String multibyte.text mb

This solved the problem.
