Enabling Unicode support
The sap2afp transform supports SAP Unicode OTF and ABAP data on AIX, Linux, and Windows operating systems. Also, SAP Unicode OTF and ABAP data is not supported with PSF-Other destinations, due to PCL Secondary not supporting the AFP Unicode Migration Fonts.
Before doing these configuration tasks on AIX, Linux, and Windows systems, you must first obtain and install the AFP Unicode Migration Fonts that are required for printing:
AIX, Linux, Windows, AS/400, AFP Unicode Font PRPQ (5799-GJJ)

Note: SAP Systems recommends using SAP Unicode systems that output SAPGOFU format, not the
SAPGOF format. Excerpt from the official SAPGOF specification: ''With the development of the Unicode variant of SAPGOF (device type SAPGOFU), the
ASCII and EBCDIC variants are considered obsolete and are provided only for the sake
of compatibility.
Developers of new SAPGOF converters should base their implementation on the Unicode
variant of SAPGOF.'' Consequently, we recommend using SAPGOFU input files in Unicode environment when
invoking the SAP2AFP transform.
