What Codepage is used by MDM4A?
MDM4A is always a Unicode based interface regardless of the codepage used by the ABAP system. Althought a Unicode ABAP system is UTF-16, the MDM4A interface is UTF-8. Therefore regardless of the ABAP system codepage, a codepage conversion must take place. The codepage conversion is done within the inner layers of the MDM4A. However on non-Unicode ABAP systems if you attempt to process characters from MDM that are outside your current codepage, this will produce a CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE shortdump.
In non-Unicode ABAP systems, the best way to avoid such errors is to match the logon langauge of the ABAP system to the langauge used to connect to MDM.
