Parameter documentation

This parameter specifies whether the character strings are to be converted automatically in the ABAP statement IMPORT. The parameter should normally have the value 1, which means the conversion takes place automatically. (This refers to the conversion between different code pages.) Customers who work with several character sets in their system can set the parameter value to 0 if configuring their R/3 system for multi-NLS. (In this case, conversion does not take place automatically.) In more specific cases, a value of 2 is also possible with this kind of configuration. The value 2 means that conversion does not normally take place (as with the value 0), except in the case of code page combinations where the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 have different locations (for example, in ASCII<(><<)>->EBCDIC combinations).
