Hello Madan,
Does your Adobe Reader where you open the PDF file have the Chonese language pack installed? This is necessary.

Sapscript and Standard Text - Polish Characters not printing

Hi,
I have created an English Sapscript and translated it to Polish via transaction SE76.
Changing my PC Region and Language settings to Polish allowed me to enter Polish Characters into Hardcoded text in the Sapscript and Standard Text via s010.
I have two problems:
1) With my PC Region and Language settings set to Polish, when I create my sapscript output some of the polish characters that I have entered via SE76 and SO10 do not appear and are replaced by others e.g.
ę is dispalyed as ê
ć is displayed as æ
ń is displazed as #
2) I have a business requirement to be in England Logged with PC Region and Language set to English but to print a sapscript output in Polish. Is this possible.
We are currently on non unicode SAP system.
Please can anyone advise.
Regards

Hello,
SAP discourages mixed code page or MDMP systems and with good reason. If there is any possibility of you upgrading to a Unicode system in the near future you should try to wait for it. Supporting multiple languages in Unicode is easy, in MDMP it can be quite tricky. And MDMP makes the move to Unicode more difficult.
That said, your BASIS team can enable Polish and you can print in Polish while your PC is set for English. The SAPScript/Form must be in Polish or using an INCLUDE that is LANGUAGE 'PL' to let SAP know which code page to use when printing.
Seriously, look at moving to Unicode, you need to do it eventually anyways.

In Pages for iPad, I couldn't wrap text(Chinese characters) around the image

Hi, a question about Pages for iPad. I wrote some words with Chinese characters and then inserted a image from the Camera Roll. The problem is that I couldn't wrap words around the photo. I tried again wrote some words in English and it's ok for wrapping. Why did this happen?

From the help section in the Pages app ....
Anchor or free an object to or from its surrounding text:
Select the object, tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
To make an object move with the flow of text, slide “Move with Text” to ON.To make an object remain stationary, unaffected by changes in the surrounding text flow, slide “Move with Text” to OFF.
Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
Wrap text around an object:
Select the object and tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
Tap a wrap option to select it.Automatic optimizes text wrap for you, depending on the size and position of the object, and the width of the text column. Text wraps around an object, unless there’s very little space around the sides, in which case the text flows only above and below the object. Around lets you customize the text wrap around the sides, without automatic optimization. Above and Below allows text lines only above and below the object.
Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
This works for me. Restart your iPad if this does not work for you.

Not all chinese characters display correctly with non-embedded text

Hi all,
I've updated to the last beta 2 of Flash Player 10.1 (10,1,51,66) and compiled this simple Flex application to illustrate the fact that not all chinese characters can be displayed correctly with non-embedded text (device font).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN'];"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝">
    </s:Label>
    <mx:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Notice that characters from the Unicode range 0x4F1E .. 0x4А2D are not displayed within <s:Label> component that uses Flash Text Engine (FTE) by default to display the text, but at the same time those characters display just fine within older <mx:Label> component that relies on flash.text.TextField instance to render the text.

    OK, did not know that "Arial Unicode MS" font is only distributed with Microsoft Office, was looking into relying on this font in case if "simsun.ttc" font is not available at the user's system, by using the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN']"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
        s|Label {
            fontFamily: "Arial Unicode MS, SimSun, Arial";
    </fx:Style>
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label id="sparkLabel" text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Tough decision ahead, but accordingly to the survey at codestyle.org (2000 participants from 2007 year and onwards), Arial Unicode MS is present at 62.53%% system surveyed.

   My current install of Windows XP already includes the install of Microsoft Office 2007 and I've also enabled/disabled the support of East Asian languages, thus the content of my "fonts" folder differs now significantly from "clean" Windows XP install version.
Nevertheless I found the page with comprehensive lists of standard fonts installed with different releases of Windows that looks viable here: http://www.kayskreations.net/fonts/fonttb.html

How can I force text in a table to wrap at the margin? Chinese characters result in wide tables.

Hello all ye RoboHelpers out there.
Background:
We're using RH 9 (latest patch) on Windows 7 machine.
We document in English and then the RH project gets localized into many diff languages and we use that to generate CHM, and Printed outputs.
The Problem:
In the Chinese language, in printed output, the right border of most tables exeeds well beyond the margin.
Here's what the localized table looks like in the RH editor:
By comparison, here's the equivalent English topic prior to localization:
Our CHM output is fine. In fact, here's what the Chinese looks like in when output to a browser or previewed and I drag the right side to
a narrower width. Notice that the table text appropriately wraps to remain within the window's size:
But here's what it looks like when I generate it in Word's printed output:
Notice the location of the margin at 6.5 inches. It should be wrapping at the margin. And something is weird with the left cell how it's getting pushed so far to the right.
The actual table width ends up around 11 inches! I had some tables last time I did this that were as far out as 18 inches but looked perfectly fine in English!
We use Across Systems for our localization tool, and I've verified that our translators are not messing with the table properties at all; only the text is exposed. One interesting difference I've noticed from other languages, is that Chinese characters do not contain a true space or period characters when we get them back from localization. This makes sentences essentially a really long string of unbroken characters, and I suspect this somehow pushes the generated tables to wide extremes in printed output.
What I've Tried:
I've tried to change the table properties in Word to auto fit the size of the window.
I've tried setting the width in RH to a specific size and regenerating. Still doesn't help.
I've added in space character and doing that does cause lines to wrap in some cases, but not in all. But I shouldn't have to do this.
I've tried to create a VBA macro in Word to size the tables, but couldn't get it to work.
What I need:
I need to somehow globally force all the tables' text strings to wrap once they reaches the right margin no mater what, even if the line does not contain space characters. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere, either on the RH side or the Word side that can do this for these long strings of characters?
I really hope someone else has figured out how to deal with this because last time I did this, I had to go through approximately 500 tables and manually do a very convoluted workaround dragging the table handle in Print layout mode back to the right margin to get the table to wrap appropriately. It was a major pain in neck!
Many thanks in a advance for any ideas you might have.

I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/word/word_macros.htm
If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

Standard text must change its value in run time in english or in chinese

Hi all,
i have created the standard text in SO10. name is YTEST and inside i have declared &vbdpl-idnkd& since i need to get the value of this variable.
In script i have written
IL    ,,&VBDPL-POSNR+03(03)&,,&ZPRN_MTRL&,,
/:     INCLUDE YTEST OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'EN'
=     ,,&VBDPL-BSTNK&,,&VBDPL-LFIMG(I10.0)&
but the output is coming as &vbdpl-idnkd& only and not the value inside it.
1) how to retrieve it.
2) Also the value inside &vbdpl-idnkd& may come in English or sometimes in Chinese
3) the standard text when printing is getting printed in the next line and not on the same line with posnr, mtrl .....
Plz guide me how to process this.
thanks
Sakthi.

Hi,
Save the text in different languages in different SO10 objects .(Maybe with same name but dufferent LANGU Key).
Now while calling the text, give in the appropriate langu key...for eg:
/:     INCLUDE YTEST OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'EN'    -
> for English
/:     INCLUDE YTEST OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'ZH'   -
> For chinese
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,

Japanese characters in SMARTFORMS using S010 (Standard Texts)

Hi gurus,
Im trying to print a standard texts maintained in S010 using SMARTFORMS. When i preview these texts in S010 it looks fine but when i use it in SMARTFORMS (Using include text) it gets overlapped.
Is there a length requirement/limitation for the standard texts that can be used in SMARTFORMS? Because i noticed that there is a certain length in which the Japanese characters overlapped.
Thanks in advance
Andre

Hi Chenna,
My window is wide enough to accomodate the texts. I tried adding non Japanese characters on the same row. The Japanese characters are still overlapping but the non Japan texts were displayed correctly and long.

Andre

Special Characters not being imported from standard text(SO10) to form

Hello Experts,
I have created a standard text in SO10 and tried importing it to the adobe form, i created. I have maintained some sentences as highlighted and underlined. Text got imported perfectly on to the form, but the formatting is not being exported. Could you please help me in this issue.
Thanks,
Rakesh.

Use Text modules instead of standard text

Chinese Characters not displaying properly

I pasted Chinese text into a Rolling title but not all of the characters display. Some (not many) of them display as an x inside of a square. All I can think is that some of the characters are not being recognized. If it matters, the text is simplified Chinese copied from a website, pasted into Notepad, then copied again and pasted into the title.
Help is greatly appreciated.

John,
I see that now, but the font I selected (simsun) seems to have resolved my issue. I believe it is a bug if I can display the characters correctly on other app, especially Microsoft. On Microsoft apps, I can select many standard fonts and the Chinese Characters display correctly.
Thank you for the link to submit a bug report. When I get time I will submit it, and hopefully they will correct the issue.
God Bless,
Mark

Chinese Characters Printing as Boxes in SAPscript

Issue...why would a Chinese standard text print fine using the "INCLUDE" method, but output as boxes when that same Chinese standard text is retrieved successfully using the "PERFORM" method?
Summary...I am currently experiencing problems printing Chinese characters on a custom SAP Script form. This does not appear to be an issue with printer setup or font selection, as I am able to get the Chinese characters to appear depending on the method I use. The problem occurs when I execute a "PERFORM" within the SAP script to retrieve the Chinese standard text, the results are displayed as boxes. If I "INCLUDE" the standard text directly within the SAP script, the Chinese standard text prints without issue. I have executed the SAP script in debug mode and the Chinese text is being retrieved from the "PERFORM" statement as expected, but just does not display correctly as it does by using the "INCLUDE" approach. I'm trying to understand why the two approaches would not both work in the same manner. We are on a UNICODE system.
Though we may be able to use the "INCLUDE" method in a majority of places, we are interested in using the function "ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM" for printing addresses. This would require passing values back to the SAP script line by line.
Below is a simplified version of the two methods...
(PRINTS CHINESE CHARACTERS AS EXPECTED)
INCLUDE 'ZADDRESS_LINE1' OBJECT 'TEXT' ID 'ST' LANGUAGE &NAST-SPRAS& PARAGRAPH IG
(RESULTS IN BOXES BEING PRINTED)
PERFROM GET_TEXT IN PROGRAM ZGET_CHINESE_TEXT
USING &NAST-SPRAS&
CHANGING &ADDRESS_LINE1&
ENDPERFORM.
&ADDRESS_LINE1&
(&ADDRESS_LINE1& contains Chinese characters as expected when debugging SAP script)
FORM GET_TEXT TABLE PT_IN STRUCTURE ITCSY
PT_OUT STRUCTURE ITCSY
...USE FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT' TO RETRIEVE CHINESE TEXT FROM ZADDRESS_LINE1 STANDARD TEXT (works as expected)
read table pt_out index 1.
move ADDRESS_LINE1 to pt_out-value.
modify pt_out index 1.
(PT_OUT table is populated with chinese text as expected)
ENDFORM.

Language for form is 'ZH'.
To clarify the original post, the standard text is being retrieved correctly for both methods. By this I mean that during debugging of the SAP script I can see the Chinese text as expected for both methods. However, during print preview only the "INCLUDE" method displays correctly. I have both methods included in my current script for the same standard text and the "INCLUDE" displays fine, but not the "PERFORM" method.
Does the "CHANGING" parameter which is populated by the "PERFORM" need to be defined in a particular way? Might there an issue with the TDSYMVALUE type that is used for storing the values retrieved from the "PERFORM"?

ExternalInterface not returning chinese characters

I've got a Flex application embedded in a PDF. Also in that PDF is a field (hidden text field) called Data containing XML that happens to contain chinese characters. The encoding for the XML data is UTF-16. To retrieve the data, I make a JS call (getData) using ExternalInterface. The JS is simple:
function getData()
var data = this.getField('Data').value;
return data;
I also inserted before the return an alert to display the data. The chinese characters were present and displaying as expected:
In my flex application I make the following call:
var resultXML:XML = XML(ExternalInterface.call("getData"));
However, the resulting XML appears to not be read as UTF-16, and the characters displayed look like:
Is there something special I have to do to get the chinese characters correctly passed through from the ExternalInterface call?

Printing Chinese Characters on Labels using ZEBRA

Dear all,
Could someone tell me how to Print Chinese characters on labels using ZEBRA Printer.
Thanks & Regards,
Joseph.

Hi Joseph,
How were u able to resolve your issue on Chinese font printing using Zebra? This is because I'm supposed to print Chinese texts & data using Zebra label printer. The problem is, inspite of using the Chinese font residing in the printer's memory card, i am not getting any output whenever i run a standard SAP report (VL74) calling a customized saprscipt report. Please help check my codes below. Also, I'm not sure of the command ^A1B, if it is still needed everytime i try to print a text, since i already used the command ^CW1,B:MSUNG.FNT.
I placed them in the Main area of Sapscript. Thanks in advance.

Smartform preview / print of chinese characters

Hello all
I am facing this issue:
After implementing SAP Note 852926, the Smartform preview / printing works fine with Chinese characters in DEV system.
The Unit test were OK and then the SAP Note has been transported to our TEST env, but the chinese characters are not previewed and printed correctly there.
I see characters as "»ÆêÍ" instead of "黄晖"
I can not find any difference in settings / fonts of the two systems. What am I missing?
Anybody can give a hint?
Thanks
Imrich

Hello Imrich,
Do you use the same device type to print in th test system?
To print Chinese characters from SAP, there are some rules:
1. The form must have Chinese language key 'ZH' or the Chinese texts must be included as standard texts with the language key 'ZH'.
2. The correct Chinese fonts(e.g. CNHEI or CNSONG) must be used for the Chinese texts in the form.
3. The form must be processed with a device type that supports the simplified Chinese language.(eg:device type CNSAPWIN).
Another possibility if you have a Unicode system is tp print via desvice type SWINCF. Here the language of the form doesn't matter.
Regards,
Aidan

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
I googled and got some tips:
1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
- I did this.
2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
- It was already set to UTF-8.
3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
- This has been done when I installed Windows.
I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

Chinese characters scrambled when loading from DS to BW

Hi, I've been pulling my hair out with this issue.
I have a flat file containing Chinese text. When I load this in BW using 'FLATFILE' as a source system, it works fine. BW shows the correct Chinese characters.
When I do the same load using BODI, I get funny characters.
When I use BODI to load from one flat file into another flat file, the Chinese characters remain correct.
What do I need to do to make sure I get the right Chinese characters in BW when loading from BODI?
BODI is installed on Unix on Oracle 10.
I run the jobs as batch processes.
The dsconfig.txt has got:
AL_Engine=<default>_<default>.<default>
There are no locale settings in al_env.sh
BW target is UTF-8 codepage.
File codepage is BIG5-HKSCS
BODI is set up as a Unicode system in SAP BW.
When loading flat file to flat file, I get a message:
DATAFLOW: The specified locale <eng_gb.iso-8859-1> has been coerced to <Unicode (UTF-16)
because the datastore <TWIN_FF_CUSTOMER_LOCAL> obtains data in <BIG5-HKSCS> codepage.
JOB: Initializing transcoder for datastore <TWIN_FF_CUSTOMER_LOCAL> to transcode between
engine codepage<Unicode (UTF-16)> and datastore codepage <BIG5-HKSCS>
When loading to BW the messages are almost the same, but now the last step in UTF-16 to UTF-8.
I read the wiki post which definitely helped me to understand the rationale behind code page, but now I ran out of ideas what else to check ( http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Multiple+Codepages )
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jan.

Hi all. Thanks for the Inputs. This is what I got when I clicked on the Details Tab of the Monitor....
Error when transferring data; communication error when analyzing
Diagnosis
Data packages or InfoPackages are missing in BI but there were no apparent processing errors in the source system. It is therefore probable that there was an error in the data transfer.
The analysis tried to read the ALE outbox of the source system. This lead to error .
It is possible that there is no connection to the source system.
Procedure
Check the TRFC overview in the source system.
Check the connection to the source system for errors and check the authorizations and profiles of the remote user in both the BI and source systems.
Check th ALE outbox of the source system for IDocs that have not been updated.

Standard text -chinese characters!
