By using the SAP SQL connector via Qlik Data Gateway, there is no language dependency. this results in the extraction of SAP tables with the actual stored values.
Despite the language set, the resulting code does not reflect the language parameter set. This continues to show German values instead of English values.
Resolution
When the conversion routine field is active, we also check that the field itself has a conversion routine linked as defined in the ABAP dictionary for this domain via SE11.
Some conversion routines rely on language to determine the output. If the conversion routine is active, then the field domain is checked, if a conversion routine is found, then it is used and we always use the OUTPUT routine since we are outputting the data.
Fix Version:
Changes have been made in the latest patch of 8.0.2 to ensure conversion routines are always checked.
