Nordic Characters in variables

Hi,

I am getting an error when transforming a file where I am storing a filenam= e
in a variable. The filename sometimes contains letters that are quite com= mon
in Nordic names (æ and so on).
One solution is that I create new filenames, but I don't really want to do =
that - yet). So I am wondering: How do I work around this issue?

Kind regards,
