STREX003
- Error during conversion of text from UTF-8 to the current codepage ?The SAP error message STREX003 indicates that there is an issue with converting text from UTF-8 encoding to the current code page of the SAP system. This typically occurs when the system encounters characters in the UTF-8 encoded text that cannot be represented in the current code page.
Causes:
- Incompatible Characters: The text being processed contains characters that are not supported by the current code page. For example, if the current code page is set to a single-byte character set (like ISO-8859-1), it may not support certain multi-byte characters found in UTF-8.
- Incorrect Code Page Settings: The SAP system may not be configured to handle the required character set properly.
- Data Corruption: The data being processed may be corrupted or improperly encoded, leading to conversion errors.
- External Data Sources: If the text is coming from an external source (like a file or database), the encoding of that source may not match the expected encoding in SAP.
Solutions:
- Check Code Page Settings: Ensure that the SAP system's code page is set correctly to support the characters you are trying to process. You can check the code page settings in transaction

.- Use a Compatible Encoding: If possible, convert the text to a compatible encoding before processing it in SAP. This may involve changing the source data or using a different method to import the data.
- Data Validation: Validate the data being processed to ensure it does not contain unsupported characters. You can use tools or scripts to clean the data before importing it into SAP.
- Error Handling: Implement error handling in your ABAP code to catch and manage conversion errors gracefully. This can help prevent the application from crashing and allow for logging of problematic data.
- SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue. SAP frequently releases updates and patches that may resolve specific encoding issues.
