Hi,

I am trying to convert UTF-8 BOM to UTF-8 format in Business Central using XMLport object in AL but am unable to do so. I have already used the TextEncoding property in XMLport, but it takes the UTF-8 BOM format by default. Any suggestions for getting from UTF-8 BOM to UTF-8 format?

I am running my XMLport in the code below.

local procedure Export_File()

var

TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";

CustomBalance: XmlPort Balance;

OutStreamStr: OutStream;

begin

TempBlob.CreateOutStream(OutStreamStr);

CustomBalance.SetDestination(OutStreamStr);

CustomBalance.InitializeRequest(0D, EndDate);

if CustomBalance.Export() then begin

ExportBlobList.Add(TempBlob);

ExportFileNames.Add(CustomBalance.Filename());

end;

Hi,

Try adding the TextEncoding in CreateOutStream.

TempBlob.CreateOutStream(OutStreamStr, TextEncoding::UTF8);

Hi Ramiz,

I also tried using CreateOutStream(), but still the same output.

TempBlob.CreateOutStream(OutStreamStr, TextEncoding::UTF8);

Hi,

I am confused are you saying BLOB instead of BOM?

Hi Saurav.Dhyani ,

It is UTF-8-BOM, the encoding of the file is UTF-8 BOM although the TextEncoding property is set to UTF-8. I also tried

CurrXMLport.TextEncoding(TextEncoding::UTF-8) and this also failed to get UTF-8.
