[Scope Change] System.InitializeReader ( with Encoding ) #27632

Open ChrisChristophers opened 1 week ago

ChrisChristophers commented 1 week ago

Describe the request

We are desperately looking for a way to import a Windows(ANSI) encoded csv-file into the csvbuffer. Tried various methods but none seem to work. LoadDataFromStream uses UTF-8 by default which is missing german umlauts ( ??,??,??,?? ). We're also open for workarounds

Additional context

The "Deutsche Post" ( german mail services ) provides lists of customers' returned mail as a Windows(ANSI) encoded csv-file and we can't rely on our users to convert these files to UTF-8 before importing them to BC. Internal work item: AB#558165
