• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM036 - File &1 was not created with character set &2 ?

  The SAP error message EM036 indicates that a file was not created with the expected character set. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the character set used to create the file and the character set expected by the SAP system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Character Set Mismatch: The file was created using a different character set than what the SAP system is configured to handle. For example, if the file is created in UTF-8 but the system expects ISO-8859-1, this error can occur.
