Displaying and Printing Character
Sets 
The spool system offers the following tools for displaying and printing character sets:
· To display a character set as it is defined in the SAP system, choose Administration ® CCMS ® Print ® Spool Administration ® Utilities ® For character sets ® Output character set. The character set is displayed in list format on the screen.
When the system displays a character set:
– Several characters cannot be displayed on the screen These are: the space, the SAP print control prefix character, and the special OCR characters "hook", "chair", and "fork".
The locations of these characters in the character set are indicated using footnotes.
– Characters not in the system character set cannot be displayed
These characters are displayed using the pound sign "#". You can determine which characters these are using the description displayed.
For example: Double-byte characters such as line-draw characters or certain language-specific characters are not included in the standard system character set. These characters are displayed using the pound sign #.
· To print out the character set defined for a particular output device, choose Administration ® CCMS ® Print ® Spool Administration ® Utilities ® For character sets ® Test data (chars).
The function displays the SAP device type of the output device and the ID of the SAP character set used by the device. The characters included in the printer character set are stored as a spool request. To print the character set, send the spool request to the printer.
