Preconfigured Code Pages 

 

The RFC uses a preconfigured assignment of text languages to code pages if:

●      The destination is set to non-Unicode and MDMP inactive.

●      A non-Unicode system calls a function in a Unicode system and does not publish its assignment list. This is the case in systems with kernel older than Release 6.20, Patch level 375. More recent systems pass their assignment list to the called Unicode system, in which case the preconfigured setting is not required.

 

The table below shows this assignment. The called system uses the transport code page specified by the caller to determine whether the data is EBCDIC data.

Assignment of Text Languages to Code Pages

Language (ISO, SAP ID):	Transport Code Page:
	Non EBCDIC	EBCDIC
West European languages	1100	0120
East European languages	1401	0410
Baltic languages	1900	0120
Japanese (JA, J)	8000
Chinese (ZH, 1)	8400
Korean (KO, 3)	8500
Arabic (AR, A)	8700
Taiwanese (ZF, M)	8300
Thai (TH, 2)	8600	0860
Ukrainian (UK, 8)	1500	0500
Hebrew (HE, B)	1800	0800
Greek (EL, G)	1700	0700
Russian (RU, R)	1500	0500
Turkish (TR, T)	1610	0610
Bulgarian (BG, W)	1500	0500

 

This table is valid for standard transport code pages that are based on ISO standards (such as 1100, ISO8859-1) or country-specific standards (such as 8000, SJIS). If SAP code pages are used as transport code pages, the following assignment applies:

Assignment of SAP Code Pages

Transport Code Page	Examples	Assigned Code Page:
SAP blended ambiguous	6100 SAP Unification 6200 Asian Unification 6500 Diocletian	Standard code page depending on text language. Data is therefore reinterpreted uniquely, language-dependently.
SAP blended  unambiguous	6300 Euro Japan	The same code page Data is already coded uniquely.
Transliteration	1180 1180	Data is already coded uniquely.
