Using streams with Russian language

#Caché #Object Data Model

Hello, guys.

I need to copy the text from one stream to another filestream and save it. I am using  

do fileStream.CopyFromAndSave(rtn.Code)

However, if "rtn" stream contains Russian characters I get something like "???". Is there any way to convert stream to Unicode?  Something like $zc(str, "O", "UTF8") for streams.

As you have not showed full example of your code, I suggest that you use wrong class for fileStream.

For any text's you should use Character's stream, such as %Stream.FileCharacter, %Stream.GlobalCharacter

For file character streams you need to specify TranslateTable property, which is internal translation table based on your locale. 

For translation to utf-8 you need to set:

 set fileStream = ##class(%FileCharacterStream).%New() set fileStream.Filename = fileLocation set fileStream.TranslateTable="UTF8" set status = fileStream.CopyFromAndSave(rtn.Code)

It should help.

fileStream is of type %FileCharacterStream and rtn.Code is of type %CharacterStream

This is the code: 

set rtn = ##class(%RoutineMgr).%OpenId(fileName)
 
  // write content to file
set fileStream = ##class(%FileCharacterStream).%New()
set fileStream.Filename = fileLocation
set status = fileStream.CopyFromAndSave(rtn.Code)
