Formula to show non english characters from clob in crystal report

Hi
I am using the database Oracle 11g with a field clob in one of the table that i want to show in the crystal report
But the problem is when i put the clob field in crystal report it is outputting the results perfectly for English characters but not for the Arabic ones and returning the string like (¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿)
so is there any way to show the arabic (non english) characters perfectly on crystal report with clob field

Hi Azeem,
Make sure the arabic font should install in your system.
Try this:
Create a text field in your Crystal Report (a label).
Place Arabic characters into that field (just by typing them into it on the report definition).
Run the report. If they display correctly then its probably not Crystal, but rather would point to an issue in the data retrieval and supply to Crystal via your dataset (or whatever datasource you are using).
If they don't display - then its definitely Crystal.

Removing non-English characters from data.

Ours is global system with some data with non-English characters. We want to download file by removing this non-English characters.
Any suggestions how we can remove these non-English characters from file..?

The FM u said
     Replace non-standard characters with standard characters
   Functionality
     SCP_REPLACE_STRANGE_CHARS processes a text so that it only contains
     simple characters. Special characters and national characters are
     replaced in such a way that the text remains reasonably legible.
     The character set 1146 is used by default. In this case the following
     replacements are made, for example:
      Æ ==> AE        (AE)
      Â ==> A         (Acircumflex)
      Ä ==> Ae        (Adieresis)
      £ ==> L         (sterling)
     Note that the new text can be longer than the old.
So i dont think it ll be useful for eliminating the sp. chars.
U have to check each and every alphabet with std 26 alphabets

How to retrieve non-english characters from a query

Hello,
My apologies if this post is not in its proper place, but I was a bit confused where to add it.
I'm running a query using SQL Developer on a table which contains several companies names from many different countries, and one of the checks I need to make to ensure data consistency is to search for all rows which the name of company contains special or non-english characters (like ç, ã, ä as example).
I don't know what can I use to do this. I tried to collate using NLS_SORT but it didn't work.
Is there someway to select only the rows that contain these special or non-english characters, excluding from the results the rows that only have english characters? Please have in mind that we have many languages in this table.
The field I would like to make the conditions on is VARCHAR2.
Please let me know if there is any extra information I should provide you so that you can help me.
Thank you in advance for the help.
Regards,
Luís

Parsing Non English characters from OPEN DATASET

Hi Team,
I'm try to download the .txt file using the OPEN DATASET in the windows environment from application server, system language is set up for English.
The problem is, in the .txt file some times I will be getting the non-English characters (Spanish). When I try to download the data into SAP it's not downloading properly eg: ñ when it downloaded into sap it took something like A+_.
My goal is I need to download the Spanish characters properly into sap.
Please advice how to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Selvaraj

Hi Selvaraj!
I haven't checked the situation for 4.5B, nor can I predict exact behavior, but you can give following statement a try:
SET LOCALE LANGUAGE lg.
This should even change content of sy-lange for whole role area (internal session), so change the value back afterwards.

Fonts are defined in the template you use to generate the pdf. Your application add the data and both is processed yb the FOP processor. Now there are two possible causes of the '???' :
1. the data you sent to the template contains the '???' already
2. the template can't digest the data (the special characters) and puts '???' in the pdf.
Before going on you have to find out which one is your problem. The 2nd is the problem you better ask this in a FOP forum as you have to solve it by changing the template.

Removing non english characters from my string input source

Guys,
I have problem where I need to remove all non english (Latin) characters from a string, what should be the right API to do this?
One I'm using right now is:
s.replaceAll("[^\\x00-\\x7F]", "");//s is a string having chinese characters.
I'm looking for a standard Solution for such problems, where we deal with multiple lingual characters.
TIA

What's the best way to go about it?Oh, I see!
Well, the problem here is that Strings don't have any information on the language. What you can get out of a String (provided you have the necessary data from the Unicode standard) is the script that is used.
A script can be used for multiple languages (for example English and German use mostly the same script, even if there are a few characters that are only used in German).
A language can use multiple scripts (for example Japanese uses Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana).
And if I remember correctly, then Japanese and Chinese texts share some characters on the Unicode plane (I might be wrong, 'though, since I speak/write neither of those languages).
These two facts make these kinds of detections hard to do. In some cases they are easy (separating latin-script texts from anything else) in others it may be much tougher or even impossible (Chinese/Japanese).

Non English characters conversion issue in LSMW BAPI Inbound IDOCs

method with non-English characters Conversion. LMSW steps read and
conversion are showing the non-English characters properly with out any

Non english characters in DN cannot be retrieved

We are using Netscape directory server 4, protocal V3. We have a problem related to non-english characters appearing in RDN.
We publish to Ldap entries using the values from database. For example, we have pubulished an entry to Ldap, based on DB values, the entry should have a DN like: ou=Liege BELGIUM ... LGG1a, <other components of DN>. However, when we call netscape search API (search against uid attribute which does not have non-english characters), the search return the entry, but when further call getDN() method on the returned Ldap Entry, it only returns Li, instead of the complete DN value.
It seems the entry is corrupted in Ldap. I wanted to delete the corrupted entry and re create new one to test. I tried many ways, but none of them worked, I think it is because DN is corrupted, there is no key value to identify the Ldap entry for any operation(modify, delete).
You help and insights are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Han Shen

LDAP uses the UTF8 encoding. You must store data in the directory using the UTF8 encoding. This includes DN values. This also means that if you want to be able to view the values in your native character set and font, you must use an application that can convert the UTF8 LDAP data back to the native character encoding. The directory console by default should work for LATIN-1 (ISO 8859) languages if the LOCALE is set correctly.

Encoding non english characters with utf 8 on jsp (Critical!!)

I am inserting hebrew characters from JSP into oracle db and everything is fine until this point. But when I try to retrieve the information from the database, the characters are not displayed properly (I get some garbage characters). I am sure that the data stored in the database is correct, but not sure why there is a problem in displaying the data in the JSP.
I came across a thread on TSS
http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=28944
and followed the suggestions given there like having
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">and also this
<%
//Some JDBC and sql statement query UTF-8 data and then ...
String str = rs.getString("utf8_data");
str = new String(str.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
%>
<%= str %>Now, the data getting displayed is partly correct, I mean to say, some characters are still coming as squares.
Any ideas will be of great help.

even i doubt the database charset for this issue. But what I dont understand is how only certain hebrew characters are getting stored properly and why others are corrupted?
Also, can anyone let me know how i can view the Non-English characters present in the database directly, as TOAD is not able to display them

Only VBA does not recognize non-English characters

Hello guys,
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 bought in the USA and I'm having a difficulties with Excel VBA (Office 365 University-64x bought in the Czech Republic - Central Europe). The VBA does not recognize non-English characters (particularly "ř" and
"ů") which causes me problem when running some codes that I wrote earlier on my previous laptop (Windows 7, bought in the Czech Republic with the same Office).
The problem with non-English characters has occurred only in VBA so far, otherwise I can use these characters normally in Excel cells, Word... I tried to install both English and Czech version of the Office with no change, I also installed Czech proofreading
tools and set everything to Czech in the Office. The location and language preferences in the Windows are also set up to Czech. And it is not a problem of a font. I also mentioned that when I tried to look up these characters, using Ctrl+F, it changes
original ř to r after a search and again this is only an issue of the VBA.
Thank you very much for any help.
Tom

Hi Tom,
VBA for Excel can only recognize ASCII code from 0 to 255, if you use other special characters like "ř" or "ů", it will returns 63(?) to you. To use this kind of characters, you have to utilize ChrW function to parse a decemal to the
character.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee177465.aspx
for example, the hex code and dec code for these two characters are as below:
Hex   Dec
ř 159   345
ů 016F 367
So to get these two characters in VBA, you could code as below:
ChrW(&H159) or ChrW(345)
ChrW(&H16F) or ChrW(367)
You can get the hex code of the character by searching in the system character map(in the Win8.1 start view, search "character map"), then convert the hex code to decimal code by yourself.
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(&H159) & ChrW(&H16F)
Range("A1").Value = ChrW(345) & ChrW(367)
