Hi Suhas,
Yes I did already have a look, and it looks promising. have not tried it yet. The only thing which was puzzling me is what exactly was meant by:
"In a Unicode system, the characters of the file are treated in accordance with the non-Unicode code page that would be assigned at the time of read/write in a non-Unicode system (in accordance with the entry specified in the database table TCP0C of the current text environment)."
You can find it on the explanation of the parameter CODEPAGE on the link: "http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_740/en/abapopen_dataset_code_page.htm"
If I ignore this statement it seems quite straightforward... Have not tried it yet, but will let you know!
Thanks once again!
