Showing junk characters at SQL Prompt.

Hi All,
I m a beginner in Oracle DBA. I have one problem, i m trying to make my database such that it will store HINDI characters. Got that i changed NLs parameters in PFILE,Session as per document given by the Oracle. I also installed HINDI unicode font on my machine. But at SQL prompt its showing junk character when i fired a command
select sysdater from dual.
But if i change language to french then its working perfectly. i.e, its showing correct information.
I also went throught the locale builder utility but there too i m getting square boxes. Can anybody help me out how to solve this problem.
Regards
Mahesh Agarwal

Please review the FAQ and Unicode whitepaper at
the Globalization home page:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/globalization/content.html
If you need further help you need to specify the database
version, the database character set, your client OS, the
client OS language, are you using SQL*Plus etc.

to give u some idea, here are the screen shots of my problem;

This is a classical case of not reading any documentation and going ahead.
When things go wrong, again don't read the documentation, but jump to OTN specifying as little as possible
Arabic Windows doesn't tell anything and Oracle 10g is a marketing label.
Then a series of screenshots on a server no one can reach.
But I know what happened:
When you installed Oracle and created a database, it took defaults from Windows, so you get a database in an Arabic characterset. Then all of a sudden you decided to change the characterset of the O/S by changing the locale settings.
As in Oracle the characterset of the database needs to match the characterset of the O/S, this is not going to work ever. Even if you change NLS_LANG in the registry it still needs to convert between English/US and Arabic. If the characterset of the database is not UTF8, this is doomed to go wrong.
Either recreate the database in UTF8, or revert the O/S change.
And BTW: Export is NOT a backup.

TRIP send email which contains junk characters

In TRIP transaction after entering TRIP and Saving it I select OVERVIEW then select Mail/Fax button and send Trip details as e-mail to any address. The email body shows Junk characters. What is the Problem. We are on ECC 6 Pack 4

Sandy Raine

You have a few problems with your script, you are giving values for the width and height for the new document and they will default the ruler unit setting you have in Photoshop, this may not be pixels.
The font name should be the postScript name and they do not contain spaces.
It is best to pass an encoded string to the script and then decode it in Photoshop IE:-
var text = encodeURI('abcd\'abd\'ed\"afa');
var bt = new BridgeTalk();
bt.target = "photoshop";
bt.body = bt.body = "var main = " + script.toSource() + "; main(" + text.toSource() + ");";
bt.send(4);
function script(text){
var docWidth = 1650;
var docHeight = 1650;
var docName ='Front';
var docRef = app.documents.add(new UnitValue(docWidth,'px'),new UnitValue(docHeight,'px'), 300,docName);
var myLayer1 = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayer1.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayer1.textItem.kind = TextType.POINTTEXT;
myLayer1.textItem.font='Georgia';
myLayer1.textItem.size=13;
var textColor1 = new SolidColor;
textColor1.rgb.hexValue = 'F8F3E9';
myLayer1.textItem.color = textColor1;
myLayer1.textItem.contents =decodeURI(text);

Junk Characters in the Output of Reports2.5

I have created Report in Reports2.5 which is giving good output display
But when I Register the Report in Oracle Apps & see output
it shows Junk Characters in the place of Labels
e.g. Revenue Report
will come like sg0Revenue o7Report
Can any-one give me the solution for this
Regards / Shailesh ( [email protected] )

This is probably due to the prt file that's being used to format the output. I'm willing to bet that the headings are in bold, and the prt file being used has includes some control characters to tell the printer to switch on and off bold - when you view the output file those are the characters you're seeing.
To switch this off simply remove the control characters from the prt file being used.
Hope this helps,
Danny
