SUMMARY
To send a Japanese IDOC from a computer that is running the English version of Microsoft Windows 2000 to a SAP system, you must use the following configuration:
 * Configure the SAP system to run codepage 8000.
 * Add the system environment variable SAP_CODEPAGE on the computer that is running Windows 2000. Set this variable to 8000.
 * On the computer that is running Windows 2000, open Regional Options in Control Panel, and then set the default language setting for the computer to Japanese.



MORE INFORMATION
 This configuration (except for the codepage number) also applies to IDOCs of other multibyte character set (MBCS) languages such as Korean and Chinese. If the computer that is running Microsoft BizTalk Server is involved in parsing and serializing of the IDOC, you must also install the following hotfix:
