Code Page and System Local settings v regional settings

Hello All
Can someone please clarify exactly what the system local settings are. I thought they are a total of the keyboard settings, plus the decimal formats and the currency signs. However this looks to be part of the regional settings when you check in control
panel.
Also what is the significance of the code page settings. Again I cannot get a clear answer I thought these were language settings defined on the operating system. That are defined at the system level.
Many thanks

If you are looking for the difference then here you go:
Regional options settings
The Regional
Options tab contains the following settings:
Standards and formats
These are user-specific settings and are stored as part of the user profile.
Location
This is a user-specific setting and is stored as part of the user profile.
Language settings
The Languages tab
contains the following settings:
Default input language
This is a user-specific setting and is stored as part of the user profile.
Installed services
This is a computer-wide setting.

Problems with iCal, Adress Book, Pages and System Preferences

Hi,
No less. Two days ago, I noticed that iCal crashed immediately after I open it, but as I was in an hurry, didn't take attention to that. After that, I forgot completely the issue. Till today, when I discovered that Pages opens a file but immediately after that it don't respond to any command and "Force Quit" report the program as "Not Responding". The same happens with Text Edit. I investigated a little and discovered that Adress Book and System Preferences also crashes immdiately when opens. In the last case, it only happens with certain options: for instance, iCloud, Mails, Contacts & Calendars. A little more research showed me that this only happens within my administrator account (my wife and kid accounts don't have from this problem). This is also the account that I use to synchronize with my Ipad and Iphone. On the other hand, my MacBook with the same OS and almost the same programs works fine.
Any ideas about what can be the cause of this issue?
Thanks!

I can't get my printer to print to the edge of the page and can't find the right settings.

I am trying to create an A5 booklet from A4 spreads in InDesign which I have now done but for some reason when I print it is not printing to the edges of the paper. It's about 6mm short on the short edge and 3mm short along the long edge. I don't think the printer we have is full bleed but I would have expected to get a little closer than that to the edges. I have looked at document settings and zeroed all the bleed and slug options and I can't see anything else to change in the printers own settings. Does anyone please have any other idea what I might be able to change?
Many thanks

Unless a printer's feature list expressly touts "edge-to-edge" printing, it almost certainly cannot print to any of the 4 edges. It's a mechanical limitation, and 3 - 6 mm is pretty typical.

Why?
It's likely there is nothing else to try. If you fed the printer something that would or should print to the edges, if the printer was capable of that, and got the 3 and 6 mm printable area margins, that's quite certainly the best it will do.

DIAdem Connectivity Library and Windows Regional Settings

Hi,
I'm having a bit of a problem with a CVI program that uses the DIAdem connectivity library when deployed to PCs that have their "Language for non-Unicode programs" set to some non-English language (Japanese is one, but I suspect this will happen with others). The problem comes up with file properties in TDM files that use the µ or 'mu' symbol in their Property name. When I call the DDC_GetFilePropertyNames(...) function, I get different strings from the same .tdm file depending on whether I have Windows set to English (US) or Japanese. As far as functions like DDC_GetFileProperty(...) are concerned the Property name string I get when my Windows is set to English is correct and I get an error using the string from when Windows is set to Japanese (-6213 DDC_PropertyDoesNotExist). The end result is that my program functions just fine so long as the PC is set to English, and fails on PCs where it is set to Japanese.
I've attached a small sample console program. It will ask whether or not you want to create a .tdm file when run. If yes, the program will create a test.tdm file with a property named "Test_With_µ_Symbol". In either case, it will attempt to read the file, calling DDC_GetFilePropertyNames(..) to read the property names, then DDC_GetFilePropertyType(...) and DDC_GetFileProperty(..) using the property name it gets back. In order to see the problem I'm having, compile and run the program on a PC set to English. It will have no problems reading the file property back. Then take the file program to PC set to Japanese and run it, telling it to not create a new file (i.e. just read the existing file), and when the program attempts to read back the file property back it will fail. Curiously enough if the program is compiled on the Japanese system it will have no problems running, which suggests that CVI will compile a different program depending on your Windows language setting (!?).
As configuring a computer to use Japanese may be a bit of a pain, here are the bytes in the strings I get back from DDC_GetFilePropertyNames (...) on the English system (top) and the Japanese system (bottom) which is really the heart of the problem I'm having. The difference is the -75 on the top string and the -125 and -54 on the bottom string, corresponding to the 'mu' character:
84 101 115 116 95 87 105 116 104 95 -75 95 83 121 109 98 111 108
84 101 115 116 95 87 105 116 104 95 -125 -54 95 83 121 109 98 111 108
(I didn't post the actual strings as the forum may end up mangling the characters)
Thoughts? I guessing I might be doing something I shouldn't by trying to use the 'mu' character in property strings, but on the other hand I don't think that DDC_GetFilePropertyNames (...) should be giving different results based upon Windows language. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm running Windows XP and CVI 2010SP1.

Hi tstanely,
Another possible solution is to try and perform the solution that was mentioned in the Unicode forum in LabVIEW. At the end of the forum, Mark Moss mentions "One of our interns recently went through this adapting a program to display Chinese in the user interface. His solution ended up being surprisingly simple: Just read the strings from a text file stored using the target encoding. In our case, there were really only two encodings of interest: Windows code-page 1252 (used on our company's computers located in North America) and UTF-8 (used on our company's computers in China)."
Because it seems that the CVI is encoding strings in the application based on the code page used at the time, it might be possible to have multiple text files saved in the different code pages and to load the strings at run-time. You may still have to use the Multibyte Character Set functionality to determine the platform that is being used, etc.

Lost al .pages and .numbers docs , iphoto and office programs won't open after changing: auto startup in: startup with password. all personal settings are also gone

After i changed this setting: autologin. into login with password i restarted the computer.
it started up with a blank personal surrounding. also my .pages and .numbers documents were gone, personal settings gone, iphoto won't open and office programs wo'nt open.
in finder i can find several .doc documents and i can see that all my pictures are still on the system, But i can't open them.
i was so stupid not to use time machine. But is there way to recover the system with my documents or something??
please help.
System Imac i5 intel 21.5 inch
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)

Nope, without any backup they're probably gone for good. If you want you can purchase some data recovery software such as Data Rescue. I hope this may be a lesson why it's critical to backup your system, Time Machine is a good place to start.
BTW when posting please use proper grammar, it's difficult to read a post when no caps are used.
Good luck!

SMB Code Page settings cannot be changed

We have a OSX standalone server 10.5.4 that's running SMB service.
Otherwise it runs ok, but I just cant change the Code Page -setting on advanced -tab of SMB settings. I can choose the desired code page from the list, but when I click "Save", the selection changes back to "Latin US (437)".
That's really annoying because it makes some folders unaccessible for win clients. So is it a bug or am I just doing something wrong?

Check the files /etc/smb.conf and /var/db/smb.conf (which is included by the /etc one) -- I found that when I used Server Admin to change the Code Page setting, it changed the "dos charset" setting in /var/db, but not the one in /etc, and I'm not sure how smbd interprets the conflict. If you have a similar conflict, you could try hand-editing /etc/smb.conf to either remove or "fix" the "dos charset" value.
No promises, but that's what comes to mind...

Incorrect russian code page in messages in iAS 9i and Oracle8i R3

The Oracle iAS 9i and Oracle 8i Release 3 for Windows NT has strange code page for this platform: ISO-8859-5 (UNIX Russian), but must be CP-1251 (Windows Russian). I can't install iAS on Windows platform, because messages in installer not correspond platform code page and unreadable :(
May be you know any patches for correct this problem?

Hello again Jan,
I think this might help...
From Note 187898.1 (http://meatlink.oracle.com) ->
"When you specify the preference PARSER=YES to enable
PL/SQL definitions to be parsed during server generation,
missing BEGIN and END statements will be added at the beginning and the end of a PL/SQL block, missing DECLARE statements added for triggers, etc.
When the preference PARSER is set to Yes, generation of the larger packages takes a lot of time - this might use up your CPU and virtual memory (Bug 1569508 fixed in 6.5.84 ) and ALSO will be unable to add begin/end
correctly if there are any syntax errors in the <declarations> or <statements>.
Hence you might see the CDS-11321, CDS-11307 warnings
and finally PLS-103 compilation error when generating
to the database. All these packages have somewhere in
it PL/SQL code having 'begin' or 'end' words within the
code (as strings).
This was recorded as a bug and fixed from 6i Release 4.3
or 9.0.2.1.0 onwards. You could use PARSER=NO instead
(especially if you're using a previous version that
included the bug).
Hope this helps.

Dominic

[Forum FAQ]Solution for Windows PowerShell console font issue when changing system locale

Issue description
After changing Windows System Locale to another country, users cannot modify Windows PowerShell console font to Lucida after modifying the font settings. There is also a potential bug report in Microsoft connect:
https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/806286/powershell-4-console-font-issue
Reason
In most situations, this problem is caused by system locale is changed to other countries from United States, such as Chinese, French, etc. Because of this change, the code page and font of Windows PowerShell console might be changed with system locale.
For Example, if change system locale to Chinese (Simplified China), Windows PowerShell console
(%systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools) properties would be changed like this:
Solution
To resolve this problem, please follow the steps below:
Access to the path below to find the shortcut of Windows PowerShell:
%systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools.
Right click Windows PowerShell and choose Properties.
Switch to Options, check if Current code page list there, if that it is, choose
437 (OEM-United States) and click Apply. Maybe you will encounter an
Access Deniedpop-up as the following picture. Then you need take ownership of current PowerShell File, switch to
Security Tab and obtain full control permission for current User Account.
Note: if Current code page was not list there, just leave alone
Options settings and switch to Font Tab.
Switch to Font Tab, choose the font you wished to use, click
Apply.
After the above settings, current Windows PowerShell console font should works as you wished.
Applies to
Windows PowerShell 3.0
Windows PowerShell 4.0

Cause
This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.
This is on a BIOS system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVO5aeaKeeE
This is on a UEFI system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-K6Fyobz0
The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu. By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot. Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

How to change a Code Page in SAP SCRIPT ?

I have a specific requirement, would need your help :
There is a CODE PAGE which is getting assigned to the SAP SCRIPT FORM. For E.g : 1100 is generally used for SAP SCRIPTS.
I would like to know if there is a possibility to change the Code Page based on certain conditions ??
Also i would like to know how and where is a CODE PAGE and SAP SCRIPT FORM linked.
I have analysed that a default code page can be set in the SAP LOG ON PAD but not able to find the issues mentioned above.
Kindly help me out with your valuable suggestions and solutions.
Thankyou
Brijesh.

Hi,
MDMP means Multi Display Multi Processing. See the note system for details. The problem of MDMP is that the different languages use different codepages and not all characteres can be displayed in every codepage.
A solution would be a unicode conversion of the system. In unicode there is only one internal codepage, which contains all special characters of the individual languages. However the migration needs several hours of down time and unicode systems need more memory and disk space. I can't tell you a percentage for that. You need at least R/3 4.7 for unicode.
In non-unicode system I believe you can't change the codepage inside a SAPscript document directly. I would have to end form processing an start a new form. To change the language you can try the ABAP-command SET LOCALE. Also see the language parameter in START_FORM.
If that doesn't work I would try using RFC-Connections. Make RFC-Connections in your system which contain the system it self as target system, but with the desired language filled in. You do not need to provide a user or password, that would be taken form the logged on user.
Inside your printing program you put the real printing into a function module. Your report then can call the function via RFC using a connection in the correct logon language.

ICloud is changing regional settings in C++ Runtime

Hello,
I'm developing an app in C++ that is using SQL sentences for storing data in a database and I've a weird problem. When I launch a MFC (Windows) file selection window, iCloud is launched and it's changing the regional settings (locale settings) in the C++ Runtime to English in non-English Windows systems.
After closing the window, iCloud is not restoring the locale settings to the machine original ones, so the execution of the programs that are using the C++ Runtime gets messed (in my case, all the points in SQL sentences are changed to colons, so you can imagine the mess)...
Will Apple launch a fixed iCloud soon?
Thanks!

FM TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP Code Page

Hello,
I have a problem with above function module.
I am using it for an upload from my laptops hard disc and it is working fine for Office 2003 and 2007 Excel files. From another work place it does not work. The system interprets several characters as CR and instead of the 5 records in the file we got 76 or more. That laptop is connected via Citrix and files can not be uploaded directly from the work place hard drive. But I think the main problem is the code page of the GUI or the GUI version. How can I determine the code page and will it fix the bug.
As alternative I tried method GUI_UPLOAD as well as obsolate FM WS_UPLOAD. Both of them destroy the file also on my laptop.
Is there any idea?
Thank you for your time.
Regards
Norbert

Be careful with CITRIX . Perhaps the Excel language is different from your windows language. CITRIX has a language and Windows another.
In our company we have a problem with the spanish and english languages because Excel has differents decimals separators.

MDMP UNICODE CONVERSION- Global fall back code page.

Hello ,
Im doing MDMP unicode conversion. In that SPUMG settings has Global fall backup code bage.
What is exactly Global fall back code page and its uses?.
Im using 1160 has Global fall back code page in SPUMG? will there be any effect?
Thanks and Regards
Vinay

Hello Vinay,
Please have a look at the Unicode conversion Guide:
Excerpt:
"Whenever there is no information to determine the correct code page, R3load uses the Global Fallback Code Page (GFBCP) for the conversion. Its default value is the code page which corresponds to the logon language EN, or else 1100. This is a global setting for all tables."
This basically means you should select the code page used by the majority of the users / data .
If you use 1160, then the majority of users should be based on Latin-1 (Western European code page).
Best regards,

Code page convert error in data loading

Hi expert
Our BW and R3 system is non-unicode system, both BW and R3 setting 1100 as code page.
when we loading data from data source 2LIS_02_SCL, suddenly we get ABAP short dump when the data pass update rule
the Dump description as following:
While a text was being converted from code page '4110' to '1100
the following occurred:
- an character was discovered that could not be represented in
the two code pages;
- the system established that this conversion is not supported.
I check the table TCPDB in R3, which not contain code page "4110", how come occurred in code page conversion ??
I look lots of notes and help but not helpful, anyone can help me??
thanks

Hi,
I have encountered similar error. Please send me if you have got the solution for the issue.
thanks in advance

Sol Man Code Page = 4130?

In a new installation of Solution Manger 7.0, the installer asks me:
His "code page is 4130? ..
This related AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 user Oracle admin and SAP admin?
What is the relationship that exists between the two (code page and UTF8)?
What is the code page that I choose?
Thank you.

Hi Gabriel,
UTF-8 (8-bit UCS/Unicode Transformation Format) is a variable-length character encoding for Unicode. It is able to represent any character in the Unicode standard, yet the initial encoding of byte codes and character assignments for UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII.
Code page is the traditional IBM term used for a specific character encoding table: a mapping in which a sequence of bits, usually a single octet representing integer values 0 through 255, is associated with a specific character. IBM and Microsoft often allocate a code page number to a character set even if that charset is better known by another name.
Oracle Database created with
CHARACTER SET "UTF8"
NATIONAL CHARACTER SET "WE8ISO8859P1"
NLS_LANGUAGE = AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY = AMERICA
As far as SAP code pager concerns which is related to UTF-8 is SAP-4110.
From your options if you see 4110, you can choose it. Or you can leave the default codepage as it is.
I hope this is helpful
Cheers
