KB Article #175840

German umlauts are not recognized in end of transfer procedures, they are changed to UTF-8 caracters

Problem

--When german umlauts or other chars like ä ö ü or Ä Ö Ü are passed to an EOT (from within a &PARM and/or &NFNAME) they are changed to UTF-8 characters (i:e. ä to \xC3\xB5)

Resolution


--The encoding of the parameters passed to the script is actually changed by the command line itself and not by CFT.
--Changing the characters code page in the script before using the variables can sort out the issue
--for the described issue, good results were obtained using chcp 1252
