Chinese Characters in output file

Hi All,
We have recently made our SAP Unicode compliant. Now user started entering customer name in Chinese language. We have program to extract customer name.
If I use following, then output file contains hash (#)
OPEN DATASET file_name FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE MESSAGE l_message IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
If I use following, then output file shows Chinese character but record alignment gets disturbed.
OPEN DATASET file_name FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT
MESSAGE l_message IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
Thanks
We are flexible to open file in both mode

English and Chinese characters in a FIle

Hi,
I need to read a file from application server and create a idoc with that data. But, the File may sometime contain a mix of English and Chinese Characters as below.
File at application server is as below format:
#####û´##û³##úÊ##þÎñÓ#######MR###õ###########ø°####ò²#####7588##7590##200000
The file has six fix fields separated by ''. But when I move these fields in six variables, in 4th variable the value comes as '#õ###########ø°####ò²#####7588##7590##' instead of only '#õ' (it takes value of 5th variable also) and then the rest of fields get misplaced.
Any idea about this problem?
Please note that My system in SAP 4.6.
Thanks.

Chinese character in PDF output file ?

I have trouble to display Chinese characters (traditional Chinese) on PDF output file. Is there anyone can help ?

Reports supports PDF 1.1.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader cannot read .PDF report files generated by Report Builder if the report contains certain types of non- English character set languages (typically multi-byte) or Unicode character set.
Same with reports 6.
Install Acrobat Reader 4.X. Print to Acrobat Distiller printer. Works for Baltics.

Chinese characters in filename

After uploading a file in CV01N with Chinese characters in the filename, it cannot be subsequently opened in CV02N/3N. We get system message 26136 - File C:\xxxxx could not be accessed.
I can copy the file to my PC and open from there. When I do this the Chinese characters in the file name are converted to '#'.
Does anyone what I can do to open the file directly from CV02N/3N?
We are on ECC6, EHP6, SP12 and are Unicode compliant.

Hello Dean,
To be able to use Chinese characters in a file name system locale (i.e. the character set which matches the language of the system locale) must be set to Chinese as well.
Otherwise the characters cannot be processed properly (EN system locale does not know Chinese characters). Hope this helps. The best solution would certainly be to avoid non-ASCII
characters in file names on EN operating systems.
Best regards,
Yuki

Writing chinese character into a file

Hi,
I need to write chinese characters into a file,I used FileOutputStream, using the method write(byte[] b)...
whereby I will convert the chinese word into bytes....
but it couldn't work...
Please Help!!

you can write the unicode hex string (e.g. 606D559C53D18D22 for Gong Xi Fa Chai) into a text file by using the following code
          PrintWriter out2 = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("chinese_out.txt", false), "UTF-8")));
               int countChineseChar = chineseHex.length()/4;
               int index = 0;
               String c = "";
               int b;
               for(int i=0; i<countChineseChar-1; i++)
                    c = new String(chineseHex.substring(index, index+4));
                    b = Integer.parseInt(c, 16);
                    out2.write(b);
                    index+=4;
Note that the OutputStreamWriter uses the UTF-8 to encode the unicode hex. I'm assuming that the hex is fixed at 4 digits each character

Unable to read chinese characters in a flat file to external table

Hi All,
We have a flat file containing data in chinese. We are using external table to read data in files. When i do select <coulmn-name> from <table> it displays box for the chinese characters. The column is of type varchar2.
The NLS_LANGUAGE is AMERICAN and NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
The character set is mentioed as UTF8 in external table defnition.
Is the external table not reading these charcters properly? Should any patch be installed or some settings should be changed for sql developer to to display chinese character?

The NLS_LANG environment variable/registry string variable (You are just one of the 1000s of 'anonymous' users refusing to post platform and version), so NOT NLS_LANGUAGE, on the server hosting the file, should be set to anything ending in .AL32UTF8

Fax output - Chinese characters are garbled

Hello,
We are using fax output for two forms ( One smartform and the othe sap script). Both the form outputs are thorugh the same fax device. For the smartform output there are no issues and the output is as expected but for the sap script output the chinese characters are garbled. Instead of the chinese characters i get output like _____ _______>,<%,,<< etc.
Interestingly, if i have a look at the print preview or take print out there is no issue and the characters are as expected. The issue arises only during fax.
Can someone help pls?
Thanks,
Venkat

Exporting InDesign files to PDF containing Chinese characters

When I export a file from Adobe InDesign to PDF that contains Chinese characters, some of the Chineset text in the resultant PDF appears heavy and blotchy, like it has had a very heavy stroke applied to it, even though the text is perfectly OK in the source InDesign file and when printed out from the PDF.
As a lot of Chinese reader will view and read this document online, I need to find a solution, can anyone help me?

Below is a screenshot of one of the effected pages
As you can see, some of the Chinese characters appear all heavy and blotch, whilst others are OK.
There is no leading on any of the text and it is perfectly OK when viewed in the Adobe InDesign file.

Export to flat file with unicode (chinese) characters??

I have an SSIS (2013) package that needs to send an email notification with query results (via attachment). I have a data flow task with a source sql query that gathers 2 columns - ID and NAME. ID is varchar, NAME is nvarchar (some records have Chinese symbols).
The destination is a .txt file. When I copy/paste a field w/ Chinese symbols to a .txt file, it shows up fine, so i know Notepad can handle the characters. I also have the .txt file set to Unicode encoding (I also tried ANSI originally). When I run the package,
it says that it successfully moves 50 fields to the flat file. However, when I open the flat file, I see that it shows 10 records. It stops when it gets to the record with a Chinese symbol in it...but doesn't produce an error. My plan was to then take the
attachment and use it in a Send Mail task. (i have the smtp/mail notification working fine...just need to figure out how to get the data to all export to the flat file correctly)
Does anyone know how I can get the ID and NAME fields from a query into an email notification (either as an attachment, or even formatted nicely (with tabs) in an email would work).

Hi,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the similar issue in my environment. When we create the Flat File Connection Manager with the default settings, the data in flat file stops when goes to the Chinese characters.
To fix the issue that makes the Chinese characters to actually get written into the flat file, we should check the Unicode checkbox on the right hand side of Locale property in Flat File Connection Manager. In this way, the flat file can display Chinese
characters.
The following screenshot is for your reference:

Please help.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can view upto 512 character in the output.
Check out the PROGRAM statement of Program PROGRAM rswatch0 (Transaction AL11).
PROGRAM rswatch0 MESSAGE-ID s1 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-SIZE 512.
Thats the reason why u can see more that 512 characters.
You can download the data to ur internal table and check that data is still there.
