If you set the text encoding to Windows, you can import and export text files that are based on the Windows codepage on the user’s computer. Windows encoding is also referred to as ANSI encoding. UTF-16 is incompatible with ASCII so that it will not understand files written in ASCII format. When importing, the file is read using the UTF-16, UTF-16LE, or UTF-16BE, depending on encoding scheme of the file itself.Ī UTF-16 encoded file will typically be larger than the same file encoded with UTF-8, except for Eastern language character sets, which will typically be smaller. When exporting, the file is written using UTF-16LE encoding. Dynamics NAV supports these schemes according to the following: UTF-16 includes two encoding schemes which mandate the byte order: UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE. UTF-16 is also based on the Unicode character set, so you do not have to consider the language setting of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server or the external system or program that reads or writes the data. UTF-16 encoding resembles UTF-8 except that UTF-16 uses 2 bytes (16 bits) to encode each character. UTF-8 is the most common encoding format and the recommended setting if you are not sure of the format that is supported by the system that you are integrating with.
UTF-8 is compatible with ASCII so that it will understand files written in ASCII format. Unlike MS-DOS, when you use UTF-8, you do not have to consider the language settings of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server or the external system or program that will read or write the data. UTF-8 is based on the Unicode character set, which includes most characters of all languages in a single character set. UTF-8 encoding is a Unicode Transformation Format that uses one byte (8 bits) to encode each character. You should choose MS-DOS with XMLports that were created in earlier versions of Dynamics NAV. For example, if an XMLport includes text in Danish, then you should set the system locale language of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server to Danish before the XMLport is run. So if you use MS-DOS encoding, you should set the system locale language of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server to match the language of the data that is being imported or exported. When the property is set to MS-DOS, text is encoded by using the system locale language of the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. MS-DOS encoding requires a different character set for each language. MS-DOS encoding was the only format that was supported by earlier versions of Dynamics NAV. MS-DOS encoding, which is also referred to as OEM encoding, is an older format than UTF-8 and UTF-16, but it is still widely supported. The following sections describe the available text encoding formats. You should set the text encoding to the encoding format that is compatible with the system or program that you will be exporting to or importing from. When data is exported to an external file, it is converted from Unicode in Dynamics NAV, and then written to the file in the format that is specified by the TextEncoding property or parameter. When data is imported from an external file, it is read using the format that is specified by the TextEncoding property or parameter, and then converted to Unicode in Dynamics NAV. Data is imported and exported as follows:
For exporting and importing data with an XMLport, Dynamics NAV supports MS-DOS, UTF-8, UTF-16, and Windows encoding formats. Internally, Dynamics NAV uses Unicode encoding. There are several industry text encoding formats and different systems support different formats. Object or data typeĬREATEINSTREAM Function (BLOB) CREATEOUTSTREAM Function (BLOB) You can specify text encoding for the following objects. When you export a file as text or as a stream, the text encoding format ensures that all the language-specific characters are represented correctly in the system or program that will read the exported file. When you import a file as text or as a stream, the text encoding format ensures that all the language-specific characters are represented correctly in Dynamics NAV. Text encoding is the process of transforming bytes of data into readable characters for users of a system or program.
