Hi All,
I am on IIB v10.0.0.9 - Windows
Problem :
I have a webservice, which writes fixed length record data to text file with encoding as ANSI. (A file opened in notepad and save as shows me ANSI encoding)
Consuming systems make a service call with UTF-8.
Nordic characters [Latin-6] in requests cause failures to write to file.
I have tried using Windows-1270 / ISO-8859-10
Could you help to achieve writing these characters to file but still to maintain same encoding ANSI
It works perfect with UTF-8
Many Thanks, |

How have you confirmed that these Nordic characters are available and printable in the character encoding you're trying to use?

The web service can only output characters supported by 'ANSI'. I don't know what you mean by 'ANSI' but it's definitely a character set with a restricted number of code points, else you would not be getting that error.
In general, your mission is hopeless. Read this article to see why: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minimum-every-software-developer-absolutely-positively-must-know-about-unicode-and-character-sets-no-excuses/
The best you can do is to scan for characters that are not supported by the target encoding and replace them with something that is supported. A better solution would be to modify the web service to use a UTF-8 instead of 'ANSI'.
Again, read that article. It really is very good, and will probably open your eyes to a few important facts about Unicode, character sets and encodings. |
