Re: Open dataset ignoring Byte order Marker

Hi Thomas,

Check if file contains BOM depending on the type.

cl_abap_file_utilities=>check_for_bom( l_file ) = cl_abap_file_utilities=>bom_utf16_le.

or

cl_abap_file_utilities=>check_for_bom( l_file ) = cl_abap_file_utilities=>bom_utf8.

if required then you can skip byte-order mark wiht:

OPEN DATASET l_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE AT POSITION 2.

So it will leave 2 two bytes...

Best Regards,

Ferenc
