Please see search hints for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

Please see send to sap for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

Internal error code of the character set converter: <runtime parameter> SAP CHARCODE of the replacement character for conversion: <runtime parameter> A character set conversion is not possible. Please see abap error for more details about the possible cause of this runtime error and how it could be avoided.

If the application prompted you to enter a code page, you could restart the application and try entering a different code page to see if this prevents the system from terminating.

If characters could not be converted: Use transaction SCP to analyze the code pages you used. Search for characters you wanted to convert and that are not entered in the table. (If you have modified a code page, you have to invalidate the character set cache (CCC) using transaction SP12).

Other utilities for code pages can be found in transactions I18N and SNLS. Characters are always displayed in a specific code page. Many code pages only define a restricted set of characters. If you want to convert text from one code page to another, and this text contains characters that which are not defined in one of these code pages, a conversion error occurs.

A conversion error like this can also occur if one of the code pages required ('<runtime parameter>' or '<runtime parameter>') is not known in the system.

If the conversion error occurred while reading or writing a file, the file name was '<runtime parameter>'. (For more information on this file: <runtime parameter>) During conversion of a text from code page '<runtime parameter>' to code page '<runtime parameter>', one of the following occurred:
- characters were discovered that cannot be dislpayed in one of the code pages, or
- the conversion could not be performed for some other reason (see below for more details)

Excerpt from the source buffer from the first character that could not be converted, displayed in hexadecimal form (with the ASCII characters in brackets):
<runtime parameter>

The current ABAP program <runtime parameter> had to be terminated, as this conversion would have resulted in incorrect data.

The number of non-convertible characters is <runtime parameter>. If this number is 0, the second reason stated above applies.
