The symbol u00BE read from a database by ABAP changes to u00F3

I have a table where a column contains the 3/4 mark (¾). When I list the table with SQL or MSAccess, the 3/4 mark is visible as expected.  However, when ABAP reads this same table, the 3/4 mark is changed to ó.  If I view the table in SE16, same result.
I would chalk it up to a font issue but when the ABAP writes the row to a new table, the change is permanent.  Reviewing the row ABAP inserted shows that the ¾ was changed permanently to ó.  Even MSAccess and SQL show this new character in place of the old when looking at the inserted row.
What is causing this change?  It is obviously changed during the SELECT into ABAP and stays changed from that point forward.  I need to wither figure out how to make the correct code pull into ABAP or how to convert it to the correct code on the insert into the new table.
Thanks for the help.

I would guess that you have a bad mixture of code pages.  What Lanuage are you using in SAP and what code page is the data written in this database table?.
SAP internally uses character set 1100 which is ISO Latin-1 for English.  Microsoft has a slightly different code page for Latin-1 they call 1252.  However checking the code page map in SAP, the oacute (ó) should be hex F3 whereas the threequarters (¾) is hex BE.  This matches the hex values that I have for Windows 1252.  The following is a website where you check out the hex values for many different character sets: http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/codepages.html#msftwindows. The SAP values can be viewed from SPAD. 
If you do have an odd mixture of code pages, you might have to force the translation.  The following would be the example ABAP code:
      translate wa_itab1 from code page '1404'.
You would just have to find the SAP code page that matches what your data is encoded in.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

  • How do i do the replacement by reading from a file ?

    The multibyte representation in cloumn 2 in the input file is encoded in UTf8 format.
    I have the code to get the code point value from a multibyte representation.
    But i am not sure how to do the same when reading from a file.
    A better explanation of the requirement is like this,
    I have a java program ,i have a String="test";
    I traverse the string
    on encountering the character 't' i read from the input file ,the input file has the characters m to z listed in it, and it also has the UTF8 encoded multibyte representation in it.
    I then read from the file
    I search the file to get he character 't'
    on gettin the character 't' i get the corresponding multibyte representation from the input file
    Then i get the unicode code point value for the multibyte representation that i got from the input file.
    Lastly i replace the character 't' in the string with the unicode code point value 3046
    Hope the requirement is clear
    Please do help
    Any help would be very useful
    Thanking you

  • Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long.

    Hello Friends,
    The background is I am working as conversion manager and we move the data from oracle to SQL Server using SSMA and then we will apply the conversion logic and then move the data to system test ,UAT and Production.
    Scenario:
    Moving the 80 Million records from Conversion database to System Test database (Just for one transaction table) taking too long. Both the databases are in the same server.
    Questions are…
    What is best option?
    IF we use the SSIS it’s very slow and taking 17 hours (some time it use to stuck and won’t allow us to do any process).
    I am using my own script (Stored procedure) and it’s taking only 1 hour 40 Min. I would like know is there any better process to speed up and why the SSIS is taking too long.
    When we move the data using SSIS do they commit inside after particular count? (or) is the Microsoft is committing all the records together after writing into Transaction Log
    Thanks

  • Change UUT Serial List to read from a database

    Is there a way to change to UUT Serial Entry that pops up when you run a Test UUT? I would like to change it so that the list is populated from a SQL database. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

    Yes
    You need to write the code that will make the calls to your data base and add that to the PreUUT call back seq. Under "Edit > Sequence Callbacks ..." add the PreUUT callback to your sequence file. Note the Parameters that are passed into the PreUUT sequence. One being Parameters.UUT.SerialNumber. This is where you store the UUT serial number so TestStand can add it to reports files and such.
    Parameters.ContinueTesting is the boolean you set to true if there is another UUT to test or false if testing is to stop.
    Take a look at the default PreUUT seq in <TestStand #.#>\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\Sequenti​alModel.seq. I fact you can copy and paste PreUUT into your seq and edit as you need.

  • Clarification on writing an object to and reading from a database

    I am trying to write an object to a relational database, sql server type nvarchar.
    Here is my code;
    /*create ObjectOutputStream
    and ByteArrayOutputStream
    ObjectOutputStream formulaOut;
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    formulaOut = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
    /* write my object to the ObjectOutputStream
    formulaOut.writeObject(formula);
    rq.parameters[0][0] = Integer.toString(formula.getFormulaID());
    rq.parameters[1][0] = Integer.toString(formula.getFormulaNumber());
    rq.parameters[2][0] = Integer.toString(formula.getInvoiceID());
    rq.parameters[3][0] = Integer.toString(formula.getLineItemID());
    * place my byteArray into a string array which is a parameter for my stored procedure
    rq.parameters[4][0] = out.toString();
    out.close();
    // the stored procedure complets successfull and I get data in the database
    //Here is the code to read the object:
    // read a string into an input Byte Array
    ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(((String)rowInstance.get(4)).getBytes());
    try{
    //I get a StreamCorrupted Exception: Caught EOF while reading the stream
    objectInput = new ObjectInputStream(in);
    singleObject = (LineItemFormula)objectInput.readObject();
    catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println(this.getClass().getName() + " Class:");
    e.printStackTrace();
    Any Ideas?

    I was able to find a solution: My problem was caused from a loss of data when trying to save it to the databse. I eneded up placing a byte[] into a "|" delimited string and then saving it to the database. I could have probably used Java encoding and decoding but I was loosing time.
    Any thoughts on how to save a serialized object to a MSSQL database?
    What data type should the database use?
    What is the best way to the class to the database without loosing data?

  • How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

    Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

    Hi Harry
    You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
    After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

  • Writing the file using Write to SGL and reading the data using Read from SGL

    Hello Sir, I have a problem using the Write to SGL VI. When I am trying to write the captured data using DAQ board to a SGL file, I am unable to store the data as desired. There might be some problem with the VI which I am using to write the data to SGL file. I am not able to figure out the minor problem I am facing.  I am attaching a zip file which contains five files.
    1)      Acquire_Current_Binary_Exp.vi -> This is the VI which I used to store my data using Write to SGL file.
    2)      Retrive_BINARY_Data.vi -> This is the VI which I used to Read from SGL file and plot it
    3)      Binary_Capture -> This is the captured data using (1) which can be plotted using (2) and what I observed is the plot is different and also the time scare is not as expected.
    4)      Unexpected_Graph.png is the unexpected graph when I am using Write to SGL and Read from SGL to store and retrieve the data.
    5)      Expected_Graph.png -> This is the expected data format I supposed to get. I have obtained this plot when I have used write to LVM and read from LVM file to store and retrieve the data.
    I tried a lot modifying the sub VI’s but it doesn’t work for me. What I think is I am doing some mistake while I am writing the data to SGL and Reading the data from SGL. Also, I don’t know the reason why my graph is not like (5) rather I am getting something like its in (4). Its totally different. You can also observe the difference between the time scale of (4) and (5).

    The binary data file has no time axis information, it is pure y data. Only the LVM file contains information about t(0) and dt. Since you throw away this information before saving to the binary file, it cannot be retrieved.
    Did you try wiring a 2 as suggested?

  • Making the vi faster - read from txt or array or binary reading

    I prepared a vi that reads a table from txt file and find the desired values corresponding independent two variables by interpolation-attached. This via reads the txt file for each calculation. I wonder that is this process slow or enough for me. Becasue I add this via to a daq vi and I send measurement values from this via to the interpolation.vi. I acquired samples once in a sec. Or is this more convenient to read the txt once and after writing values to arrays and use these arrays as a constant (Right click array-->Data Operation-->Make current value default) in the vi? Which one is faster? And also, I wonder that instead of reading from txt file, is it a good way to convert my values in txt to binary data and read this binary values by vi? Last thing, how can I learn a vi program run-spend time?

    Reordering your words a bit... Are you asking how to measure how long it takes to run your VI?  You can do this with a sequence structure (one of the few reasonable uses for them): in the first frame put a "Tick Count" or "Get Date/Time in Seconds" function.  In the next frame put your code.  In the last frame, put the same function that you placed in the first frame.  Subtract the time value in the first frame from the value in the last frame; the difference is the time it took to run your VI in milliseconds or seconds (depending on which time function you used).
    Another option is the VI Profiler, under Tools -> Performance and Memory.  Open that window, click "Start," run your code, and click "Stop."  It will report how much time it took to run your VI along with other timing information.
    Thank you nathand. I am sorry for usage of wrong order. I tried your suggestion and it works great. The first vi takes 4-6 msec. And the second one takes just 0 msec because it does not calculate anything, including just constant values.

  • Constraints in shifting UME from portal database to ABAP

    Hi All,
    We want to move our UME to ABAP and checking for the problems and constraints in this process.I have read in the below link that due to ABAP engine constraints User can change his password only once in  a day.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/EN/84/10594aecd3e1408845e66c432b955e/frameset.htm
    We want to give the option for the user to change the password more than once in  a day from EP . Please suggest me that Can we overcome this constraint in any way or is it unavoidable? Please tell me if there are any other constraints in shifting the database to ABAP. Please help.

    Dear Sharath,
    Due to the security policy of the AS-ABAP system, users can change their passwords only once per day. However, if the administrator provides a new password, the user can and must change his or her password the next time he or she logs on.
    This is fixed in the system and cannot be changed.
    Another important constraint is that once you have chosen this data source configuration, you cannot change to any other data source configuration.
    For other constraints while using ABAP as data source, please refer to this link:
