Chinese characters in EXCEL

Hi Friends,
I am facing problem regarding EXCEL download with Chinese Language character. I am using following code to download internal table contains Chinese character on presentation server.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
 EXPORTING
 filename = lv_fullpath
 write_field_separator = 'X'
 filetype = 'ASC'
 CODEPAGE = '8400'
 fieldnames = lt_header
 CHANGING
 data_tab = <fs_gt_table>.
*<fs_gt_table>
But after download EXCEL shows # in place of Chinese characters. Please suggest solution on that.
Thanks

Hi Friends
I solve my problem using below code.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = p_file
filetype = 'DAT' "tried ASC and not working as well
codepage = lv_char_cpage "8404 in this case tried 8400 and same result
replacement = '#'
write_field_separator = 'X'
TABLES
data_tab = i_data_cnvr "table content
fieldnames = i_data_head "table header

Report Generation Toolkit using Chinese Characters

I am trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office under LabVIEW 8.0. I would like to use Chinese characters for the headings of the columns using a 2D array of the headings and the Excel Easy Table. When I generate the report, the text of the headings appears to be jumbled and not encoding correctly.
For example:
仪器编号 becomes êNhV÷S
采前初重（g） becomes Ç‘MRRÍ‘ÿg
Any insights here? Thanks

Hi,
what you describe reminded me of a bug fix in the Report Generation Toolkit 2012 :
339092
Using the "Append Table to Report" VI to add strings of Cyrillic font to a table in an MS Word report results in gibberish being added to the report.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/09D6DE5170B3C0BD86257A2B004CFD20
I know that Cyrillic and Chinese characters are different but they are often confronted to the same problems...

Get Directory name in Chinese and Chinese chars to Excel

Hi,
Question:1
I use "cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse"
to get the Directory name from the presentation server.
It works good for the directory names in English.
However I need to perform a similar operation when the
user has logged in "Chinese" at OS level,
say Chinese Version of Windows. In this case this FM
doesn't get properly the directory names in chinese.
This might be because the directory name is of type
string. is there any other way to achieve this?
SAP Ver: 4.7
Question:2
I need to download chinese description to an excel file from an internal table. I could able to achieve this when I use Chinese version of windows and log into SAP in 'ZH'.
I agree that to see the chinese characters properly we may need to log in the chinese version of Windows. But I don't understand the reason that why do we need to log into chinese version of SAP? i.e 'ZH'. I have decla=red the description field as character in the internal table declaration and in the FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD', I specify the file type as 'ASC'. Any clues on this to get this executed being logged in EN version of SAP?
Thanks,
Siva

Hey there KCR875015,
It sounds like like you need to change the language your iPad is set to, but you cannot understand the language it currently is. The following article should help you do that:

Unable to read Simplified Chinese in downloaded excel

Hi,
We are running an MDMP Simplified Chinese SAP system.
After extracting some data with both English and Simplified Chinese and saving it as excel file, we are not able to view the Simplified Chinese characters when it is opened in MS Excel. "Garbage" are being displayed in place of Simplified Chinese. English display is ok.
The PC already has Simplified Chinese fonts installed (Control Panel->Regional & Language Options->Language tab->Install files for East Asian languages), and Windows XP is an English version.
In addition, we are able to key in Simplified Chinese via the keyboard using Hanyu Pinyin.
I am suspecting that the issue is with MS Excel which doesn't know how to convert the Simplified Chinese.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
as far as I know you need to set the system locale (Language for Non-Unicode programs) of Windows in the control panel to Chinese.
In addition in a standard MDMP system it is mandatory to logon with language Chinese if you want to download Kanji characters.
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

How to use a select statement with chinese characters?

I am currently developing a java servlet<using tomcat 4.x> which allows me to use select statement to retrieve results from the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database. I am using a simple form to get the parameter for querying. The main problem i'm facing is that there are chinese information in the SQL database, but i can't retrieve it through the sql statement with the chinese characters input<thru the form with the help of NJ STAR>in the WHERE condition. When i execute the statement, it returns me no results even though the rows are present in the database.
Does anyone have the solution to using chinese words in the WHERE clause of the select statement to retrieve results with columns which contains chinese characters? Please help me. Thanks everyone. :)
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in the sql database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excel 2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..
please heelppp~~

Greetings,
PS: when i cut and paste those characters in thesql
database and paste onto java.. it is ??? in
questionmarks.. but when i paste them into excelThis is why the SELECT is not returning any results.
You need to set the character encoding set on your
statement and parameters for the characters to be
properly translated. Refer to the charsetName
parameter in the String class constructor in your API
docs and also to
$JDK_DOCS/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html in your JDK
documentation.
2000.. its shown as chinese chars again..Because Office programs are performing the same kind
of character translation with the appropriate MS APIs.
please heelppp~~Regards,
Tony "Vee Schade" Cookis it possible for you to show me some coding examples? i don't really understand what is to be done in order to set the char set and what does it really do.. tried reading up but still dun understand.. :(
pardon my shallow knowledge of java..
ok..
The thing is when i used an insert statement with chinese characters of GBK format hardcoded into the java servlet and then i use the insert statement to insert the chars into the database, it cannot be seen as a chinese word when i off the NJStar. and then it can be searched out with my current form of servlet.. below is my coding of the servlet..

Chinese characters in Data.

Hello, can FDM Import chinese characters from an excel file?
currently, I convert to .csv to load. Chinese becomes ????. When I do an excel import, I get this error,
Detail: No [ups] range name found in file!
I am using Excel 2007
thanks,
Tyson

Do you have a named range in your excel file that starts with ups prefix? Excel imports have to be in a specific format as well
Also when saving your file as a csv are you setting the Enconding to Unicode and not ASCII?

Hi Chirs,
I am facing the same problem but i am using c sharp and this is a windows application.
I tried to change the CodePage attribute by simply setting connection.codepage = "8040";
But i get an exception.
attempted to read or write protected memory.
I cant seem to change this. What should i do. Also do we have to set this at the point of connecting to the Sap system or when i'm calling the RFC. I tried both instances but none worked. Could you please help me out.
i am using VS 2008.
Thanks,
Yohan

Chinese characters become garbage characters after reinstall Essbase

I reinstalled Essbase but I found the Chinese characters become garbage characters in the EAS. And I set ESSLANG=SimplifiedChinese_China.MS936@Binary, but it still didn't work.
I ran the command:ESSUTF8 -a. It shows:
Failed on GCSetLocale(). Please set proper ESSLANG environment.
Is it related to Oracle characters set? My one is SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.AL32UTF8. I heard the shared service console maybe can solve it, but I didn't find the solution in it.

Hi,
NOTE: If any of the following Action Points are already done, I would recommend you to implement again.
1. On the client machine, add the following Environment Variable under System Variables and User Variables. Add ESSLANG as system variable name and User Variable name and put SimplifiedChinese_China.MS936@binary as variable value.
2. On client Machine, Verify the Regional and Language Options.
In the Control Panel, navigate to Regional and Language options. Under Regional Options tab, verify if the option "Select an Item to match its preferences, or click Customize to choose your own formats:" has been set to "English (United States)". If yes, set it to "Chinese (PRC)".
3. On Client Machine, verify if the Unicode font is installed. The font “Arial Unicode MS Font” supports Unicode characters.
4. Verify the problem in SpreadSheet Add-in(Essbase Add-in). Navigate to Tools->Add-in in Excel, do you see "Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server DLL (Unicode)”. If No, uncheck the option then close Excel. Open Excel again and then navigate to Tools->Add-ins and browse to Hyperion/Analytics/Bin and select the .xll file
Hope it helps...
