Arabic Text in Crystal Report

I am having issues in displaying Arabic in crystal report. I am pretty sure that the data stored in Oracle (10g) is okay because when I query the same data using SQL Developer or TOAD, it is fetching and displaying Arabic contents as well. However, when the same query is used in the Crystal report, it is converting Arabic text into some weird Characters like ãÎÊáÝ etc. However, when I type Arabic in Crystal report, it is fine. The only issue is when I retrieve Arabic data from the database in Crystal report and try to show it, it converts it into some weird characters.
I am using Crystal Report 2008 version 12.0.0.x and I used the font of the field to be "Arial Unicode" but still of no use. I even tried changing the font setting from "right to left"; still no use. I have also tried using various fonts like 'Arabic Typesetting", "Arial Unicode", "Arial Narrow" etc but problem is still there.
Any suggestions?

Sorry Fahran - not sure I understand. Are you saying that all connections cause the same issue in CR 2011 with SP 9?

JRC Export to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export

We need to Export report to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export using JRC. Is this possible? I see export ReportExportFormat CSV, PDF and RTF only. These exports are working, But I need plain text that looks like Text export of Crystal Reports Designer. I see this working in RAS 2008. What I can do to get this with JRC. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to design reports.
Thanks for any help.

Raveendra
Clarification

Thank you Jitin.
What could be solution to this problem?
If still I want to go with JRC, Can I write some Java code to perform this export?
I see TextExportFormatOptions and its not working.
If I want to export automatically to text format, what other choices are there?
Basically I need to execute report and generate text file automatically. Text file should look like Crystal Report Designer Exported Text file.
Thank you for your time.

Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

Hi,
I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
Problem: Vertical text header is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
Please help on this.
Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
I think that I resolved this.

Long Text in Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0

Hello,
I am creating a report using SAP Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0 (Version 14.0.2) and the source of data is BEx query via OLAP connection created using IDT. I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4.0.
The Characteristic (which is hierarchy) in the Rows section of the BEx Query is set to display long text and as such, it displays long text when the query is executed in the BEx Analyzer. However, when it comes to Crystal Report, the short text is displayed in the report.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to SAP BW > RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
Can I display long text in the Crystal Report? How?
Thanks,

Hi Jothi,
Short Text and Long Text are associated objects of a Characteristic from a BEx query.
The 'Short Text' will not turn to 'Long Text' by setting the 'Can Grow' option.
In Fact, both are completely different objects.

Overlapping text in Crystal Report

I am working with Crystal Report 2012. I am suppose to create a Crystal Report which may be exported to pdf . It has certain fields with "Can Grow" property. As a result of all this I am facing overlapping text issues due increase in the text length , I don't want to limit the length of text fields. I require an urgent help to deal with this issues.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Dell,
Is this the thing you wanted me to do :
If yes then I did this but I lost the contents of the Group Footer #6b.
Before applying , in-circled are the overlapping text which are possibly lost after the application
Before:
After applying these fields are missing
After:
According to me this might occur due to " Group by " which is removed afterwards.
Waiting for your reply.

CR8.5 help, displaying included or not included i
have a win app that calls the report, during rendering of report, the
win app will first create a temp table that holds all the fields for
the report, then the report is accessing that temptable. i want my report to display [not] included text for a field that contains the right value..here is the tricky part, the field is not in the temp table..is there a way for the crystal report to read the value of that certain field that is not in the temptable..so far.. i have a parameter 3 parameters, the value can be B/P/U ?B / ?P /?U each parameter have its own formula: @havefieldvalue if {?B} = "T" then "" else "Not" same for the rest..if the report generated have B then the report should display B - includedsame for the rest..

you can always use an array if there's no pattern to your positions:
var positionA:Array=[ [100,20], [2,222], [55,2], [201,111], [78,23] ];
import flash.net.URLLoader;

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
 processData(e.target.data);
function processData(data:String):void {
 var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){

tf.multiline=true;
tf.width=300;
tf.text = tweets[i].text;
tf.autoSize="left";

Modifying the lengh of a long text field- Crystal Report version 2011

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the long text field in my crystal report.
I'll desribe the problem:
We work with BW version 7.4 sp 5.
I created a BEX Report with an infobject of type Long Text (Long Text is XL).
I know the length of this field is 1,333 char.
When I run the Bex Report the field is displayed correctly (long text).
I then created a Crystal Report 2011 version 14.0.6.1036 RTM based on my BEX Query.
The problem is that the Crystal report brought this database long text field as a
String[70]. Thus I get only the first 70 characters of the field.
Can we modify the settings of the field to enlarge it to be 1,333 characters in
length?
Thank you,
Ayelet

Ingo,
Let me explain you again, I have crystal report, where I have 4 tables linked. I have one table called SKAT table and I I have SPRAS field in that table which is language key, It will show you all the langauges available in that table.
SAP side, when I enter SPRAS as EN and excute, I see only english records for all G/L description. When I enter German in SPRAS fiels, it will show German G/L Account Description.
But In Crystal Report, I have created parameter for this SPRAS field, User will select which language they want to select.
Now the problem is when I create the Paramter on SPRAS field and I run the report, In the Parameter selection, I see D, C and 1 but I don't see EN.
If user want to see EN , how they can see?
I hope it is clear this time.

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

Crystal Report for Enterprise not displaying Long Text from BEx

Venkat,
Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Has Failed

Post Author: MWheeler
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
I get a setup error as soon as I hit "install" on the English upgrade to 2008 on my Windows Xp Sp2 machine. I am running XI developer edition on this machine. The Window title for the error message is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Error" and the text is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup has failed. If this continues contact http:
support.businessobjects.com". I tried to open a Support case on this, but the Create a Case screen didn't have anyplace to enter any data at all and ended up just timing out.

I have got the same error message.
I was unable to uninstall the program from the control panel.
Try to install Windows Installer CleanUp software, and uninstall with this program the previous version on Crystal Reports.
