File Handling and Text Encoding is the process of transforming bytes of data into readable characters for users of a system or program. There are several industry File Handling and Text Encoding formats and different systems support different formats. Internally, Dynamics 365 Business Central uses Unicode encoding. For exporting and importing data with an XMLport, Dynamics 365 Business Central supports MS-DOS, UTF-8, UTF-16, and Windows encoding formats.

The Text data type in AL uses the in AL uses UTF-16 encoding, the same encoding as .NET strings. For more information, see String class (.NET).

You should set the TextEncoding property to the encoding format that is compatible with the system or program that you will be exporting to or importing from. The following sections describe the available File Handling and Text Encoding formats.

Tip

You can also set the TextEncoding property in AL code using the TextEncoding Method . For example, if your XMLport can import or export different formats based on certain conditions, you can change the encoding on the fly depending on the conditions. For example, you can write code such as one of the following:

currXMLport.TextEncoding := TextEncoding::Windows;
currXMLport.TextEncoding(TextEncoding::Windows);

Example

The following code example illustrates how you can set the encoding during run time.

...  
      case MyDefinitionTable."File Encoding" of  
        MyDefinitionTable."File Encoding"::"MS-DOS":  
          currXMLport.TextEncoding(TextEncoding::MSDos);  
        MyDefinitionTable."File Encoding"::"UTF-8":  
          currXMLport.TextEncoding(TextEncoding::UTF8);  
        MyDefinitionTable."File Encoding"::"UTF-16":  
          currXMLport.TextEncoding(TextEncoding::UTF16);  
        MyDefinitionTable."File Encoding"::WINDOWS:  
          currXMLport.TextEncoding(TextEncoding::Windows);  
...  

The code example is based on XMLport 1220 in the CRONUS International Ltd. demonstration database. The table, MyDefinitionTable, has a field, File Encoding, that specifies the encoding for this part of an import.
