CODEPAGE - USAP configuration option

Description

As documented by SAP: The CODEPAGE option is similar to the PCS option. It is needed only if you want to connect to a non-Unicode back-end using a non-ISO-Latin-1 username or password. The RFC library will then use that codepage for the initial handshake, thus preserving the characters in username/password.
