The logon data record must always be sent to an SAP System in EBCDIC format.
In ABAP/4, you can use the TRANSLATE statement for data conversion. The include program
RSEBCASC contains conversion tables for a conversion to IBM’s EBCDIC character set, but you can
also specify certain code pages explicitly.
In C, you can make use of the relevant functionality via the SAP libraries.
