dynamicsusers: Navision and Unicode

[Blog bot]

There is a day when every Navision consultant whished Navision supported Unicode. During an implementation I tough if it is so difficult by Microsoft to implement Unicode in Navision?
The concept of dataports it’s a simple an easy way to integrate Navision with external applications. Now try to incorporate text files with a custom made Korean ERP, isn’t an easy task. How I wished for Unicode.


In a way to solve 5% the missing of Unicode in Navision, I created two tiny utilities.
Download can be made from http://dynamicsuser.net/files/folders/nav_...entry84404.aspx


The first is a GUI application to convert text files between two code pages. This application it’s far from a master piece, but solved some issues to me. Most of the used of this utility can be replaced by Notepad.


The second utility is a COM object with the same purpose. It is normally executed before running a dataport. This object accepts 4 parameters:


- Code page of source file
- Source file
- Code page of destination file
- Destination file



None of these utilities solves the problem of having and displaying in same company chartsets from 2 different code pages. I hope that in a near future that problem it’s solved. Probably Unicode is implemented in 6.0
