Hi,

we are currently using Powerbuilder 2017/R3 Build 1858. We have an issue regarding UTF8 character encoding. We have to send a string UTF8 encoded to an external software (function is called directly in Powerbuilder).

Problem with eg. special german letters (ü,ä, …)

If there is such a letter in this string (surname, firstname, …) this string isn’t encoded with correctly with UTF8, irrespective if what I do (because of Powerbuilder uses UFT16LE internally?)

This is my test:

// Test

String ls_in = "ü"

String ls_out

Blob lbl_hex

coderobject lnvo_coderobject

lnvo_coderobject = Create coderobject

 

lbl_hex = Blob(ls_in)

ls_out = lnvo_coderobject.HexEncode(lbl_hex)

MessageBox("UTF16 - FC00", ls_out) // correct hexvalue

 

lbl_hex = Blob(ls_in, EncodingUTF8!)

ls_out = lnvo_coderobject.HexEncode(lbl_hex)

MessageBox("UTF8 - C3B3", ls_out) // correct hexvalue

 

ls_out = String(lbl_hex, EncodingUTF8!)

// Hex: FC00 – wrong hex values (checked it with an external editor)

 Destroy lnvo_coderobject

 

Is there a possibility to convert/create this string with an UTF8 encoding (means HEX: C3B3)?

Thanks,

Andreas
