Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Importing Unicode text file with the Import command does not work
Import of Unicode (not UTF-8) text file fails to import any data.
CAUSE:
The text file is encoded in Unicode format not UTF-8. Progress only supports UTF-8 encoding of Unicode characters, so the imput file must be in this format for the import to work as expected.
FIX:
Encode the file in UTF-8 format when it is created or open it in Notepad and save under another file name but specifying UTF-8 encoding. The file can then be imported in a Progress session (e.g. 9.1D) started with, e.g.:
prowin32.exe -cpinternal 1250 -cpstream UTF-8 -cpcoll Hungarian.
Then, provided the font is correct any extended characters will display as expected.
