Double-Byte (East Asian Languages)
GLSU supports the use of double-byte character sets. If you intend to use GLSU with one or more double-byte characters sets you will need to make a couple of changes detailed below.
You will need the Unicode RFC Libraries on the desktop in the SAP GUI. This can be found in the Development Tools section during the SAP GUI installation procedure for 6.40 and earlier. For SAP GUI 7.10 or later this is automatic. If you are unsure what you have installed, please contact the department responsible for SAP GUI deployment.
First, open your SAP GUI settings and open the Code Page settings. Under Upload/Download Encoding, you will need to select Unicode (UTF-16LE) and select OK. Repeat this step for each double-byte SAP system you will use with GLSU.
Note: If you cannot change these settings, you may need to speak with your desktop administrator group or the group who handles the deployment and maintenance of the SAP GUI.
Second, if GLSU is already installed, open Excel and perform the following steps:
From the GLSU menu,
- Select Options.
- Select the General tab.
- Turn Unicode File Handling to On.
- Select OK.
After you have performed the steps necessary to enable support for double-byte character sets, you can ensure GLSU is able to display these sets by performing a Pick Values on any supported field. Pick a company code which you know contains double-byte character sets. You will see a display similar to below. In this example, both Korean and English texts are displayed simultaneously.
