How To Fix TL172 - Language file & conversion error

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TL - Messages for language transports

• Message number: 172

• Message text: Language file & conversion error

What causes this issue?

The language file cannot be read without conversion.
Reason:
The language file is an ASCII file, while the current database runs
under EBCDIC, or vice-versa.

System Response

Conversion of the data records failed.
There are two possible reasons:
1. There is no code page entry in table TCP0C for the language to
be imported.
2. Conversion from source to target code page was unsuccessful.

How to fix this error?

Check the entries in table TCP0C.
There must be an entry in table TCP0C for the language to be imported
and its platform.
If table TCP0D does contain an entry, you must search table TCP0C
with COUNTRY = <contents of TCP0D>, otherwise
with COUNTRY = blank
Check whether the TCP0C entry is correct.
