Windows Format
Windows encoding is also referred to as ANSI encoding. If you set the text encoding to Windows, you can import and export text files that are based on the Windows codepage on the user’s computer. As a result, you do not have to consider the language setting of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server or the external system or program that reads or writes the data.
For example, if an XMLport can import bank files from a foreign bank in addition to a national bank, use Windows encoding instead of MS-DOS encoding to avoid changing the language of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.
Windows encoding is compatible with ASCII so that it will understand files written in ASCII format.
