Crystal Reports 9 - Need to Display Spanish Text

Post Author: Zando
CA Forum: General
I need to display Spanish text (...accented words, upside down
question marks, tildes' over the 'N's, etc...) in Crystal reports 9.
The text is coming from an Oracle database that has been updated to an
8-bit character string to properly display the text in the database.
But when the text appears in the Crystal report, none of the Spanish
text characterists appear. It just comes out as plain text or displays
a small box where a Spanish character should appear.
How do I make the text appear 'Spanish', accents and all?
I'm a Crystal novice, so please explain your solutions as non-technically as possible.
Thanks!

Tom -Thanks for your response buddy!  Fortunately, after 2 days of Googling, I found the
answer to my own question which I'll share here.
Crystal Reports 9 (...and 10 and 11 as far as I know...) requires a
downloadable patch that allows the report to display unicode characters in
other languages.
The paper explaining this problem can be found at:
http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do;jsessionid=B460E0FF9F8305201D62DC3CA247AB2D?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2014141&sliceId=&dialogID=6000219&stateId=1%200%205998262
The downloadable patch to fix this problem can be found at:
http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--supportbusinessobjectscom-communityCS-FilesandUpdatesNoNav-cr90mainwinenzipasp&sliceId=&dialogID=6060592&stateId=1%200%206058581
This is the patch for correcting this problem for English unicode
characters.  There are also patches available for French, German and
Japanese unicode characters as well.
I hope this helps anyone else who has run into the same problem.

  • Bex report doesn't display full text information......

    Hi Experts,
    My bex report is not displaying full text information.
    I have set that particular infoobject length as 40 and also have selected long text and Long Description in Bex Tab of the InfoObject.
    In my DSO the data is available in complete lenght but in my Bex report it just displays half information
    Instead of displaying Service Order Released its displays Service Order Rel
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue please.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Setting up the BEx Property for Object, is not sufficient enough to display in the query output. You can always overwrite the object level settings in the query designing.
    Moreover, when you create a query, system always overwrite your object level settings and apply the query level settings.
    Make sure, you have selected Long Text in the query for that characteristic.

  • SQL Report--NEED to display HYPERLINK

    Hi. I need to display a hyperlink for one of the columns in a SQL Report. Here are my columns url, name, type.
    I want the name column to be hyperlinks to the corresponding entry in the url column.
    Here's the sql that I was trying to get to work based on what someone else helped me with:
    select type, ''| |name| |''web
    from interop.links
    Here is the results when I run the report:
    <#''.LABEL#>
    <#''.FIELD#>
    <#''.FIELD#>
    <#''.FIELD#>
    <#''.FIELD#>
    <#''.FIELD#> ...etc, etc.
    Does anyone have suggestions for what I am doing wrong or another solution? I really need to figure out how to do this. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Here is what I understand from your question.
    You have 3 columns
    URL
    NAME
    TYPE
    Say you have url=> www[dot]oracle[dot]com
    name=>Uncle Larry is always right
    you want name to have a href which points to
    the value in column url
    so you need
    select url as the_url,''&#0124; &#0124;name&#0124; &#0124;'' as the_name,type from the table

  • Crystal reports 11: Values displayed in crystal report not showing in VB6

    Hi!
    I updated an existing lower version of crystal report 7 to crystal report 11. Changes are the following:
    1. sql query in VB6 to add fields
    2. sql query in crystal report to manipulate values and not use formula. crx11 doesn't allow summary/total in formula fields.
    3. report orientation
    4. additional fields to view
    5. font sizes, length, can grow properties, etc.
    When I tested it directly in crx 11, all fields/values are displaying correctly. When I integrated it in VB 6 using Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11.0 and CR Viewer object, the field is blank.
    I've tried several checking like field suppressions, conditional suppressions, etc.
    By the way, I also have a report using a subrepot with conditional suppressions. Same thing is happening. The subreport data only displays the alloted space but does not show values in VB6.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thanks for your response.
    Before I read your response, I tried tweaking my reports and was able to resolve the issue.
    Steps taken to solve the issue are the following:
    a. Value not showing one field of four (4) reports.
    Solution: I created new ones and integrate it in VB 6. The values are now showing. Tweaked on the line object properties, got a problem with the extended line but solved it by adjusting the height of the detail section.
    b. Value not showing in sub-report.
    Solution: My report used a shared variable so I can pass the condition to my sub-report. I used the new reports and just pass a query during runtime. The values in the subreport is still not showing. I added a formula and called the value in it. Values in the subreport is now showing.
    I'll try to update the crystal reports version as suggested at a later time.

  • Does Crystal Reports need to be on the web server?

    Hello,
    here's my scenario. someone who left us moved a .Net web application from server 1 to server 2 and didn't leave us notes of what he did. The report came up on server 2 fine but was not getting the right data so we changed the datasource to get the data correctly.  Now we deployed the fixed version on server 2 and refreshed the web server.  Now we see the correct results BUT the Business Objects icons (e.g. BO image, print icon, forward and back icon) are all "X" meaning that they could not be found.
    We took a look at server 1 and it had the full version of Crystal Reports installed on it.  On server 2 it looked like the DLLs were dumped into the GAC and that's all. 
    We're a bit perplexed by why it was working on server 2 with all the Business Objects icons even though Crystal Reports was not installed on it until we restarted the server with the fixed code.  We were thinking maybe it's some sort of caching??  I've never seen this before so I'm a bit perplexed.
    Any ideas on why this happened?
    Thanks for taking a look.

    Hello Jeff
    Mysterious for sure. When you say;
    no virtual directory to crystalreportviewers115 and Crystal reports is not installed on the server (except for seeing only a few CR Dll's)...so how the heck did he get it working
    You're essentially saying something like;
    The car has no wheels, no engine, yet somehow it managed to get from point A to point B.
    Sorry to say, but it ain't happening...
    The only way to get a project that includes CR to work is to deploy the CR runtime. Either via MSI file where a simple double click will install the runtime and configure the viewer directory under the default app pool, or via a setup project you build using the CR MSM files. Again the files will be installed and the viewer directory configured under the default app pool. If your app is under a custom app pool, you need to configure the viewer folder under that pool as the install has no idea about non default app pools.

  • Need to display Subtotal text and total text in ALV

    HI,
    I need help.
    I am displaying subtotal and total for cost column which is group by Project type column
    My problem is i am able to display the subtotal and total values but not able to display the 'Subtotal' and 'Total' text on that respective row.
    I have updated lvc_s_sort table as follow.
    ls_sort-spos = 1.
      ls_sort-subtot = 'X'.
      ls_sort-fieldname = 'SUBTOT'.
      ls_sort-up = 'X'.
      ls_sort-SELTEXT = 'Subtotal'.
      ls_sort-spos = 2.
      ls_sort-subtot = 'X'.
      ls_sort-fieldname = 'PRART'.
      ls_sort-GROUP = 'UL'.
      ls_sort-up = 'X'.
    Please suggest what should be done to display the text.
    Regards,
    Rachna

    You have to use the event SUBTOTAL_TEXT for the ALV.
    the field CRITERIA can be used for checking the field.
    and field CRIT_TEXT for the sub total text.
    I hope you are aware about how to implement the events in ALV using OOP.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Crystal Report add on displays all modules

    Is there a possible way where i can retain the modules visibility setting once i run the crystal report add on?
    By default, once the add on is started, it displays all the modules in SBO even if I uncheck some modules to display.
    Thanks!

    I would want to restrict each user on the modules I wanted to display in their menu but once i run the crystal report, all modules are displayed even if the crystal report is the only option in each module.

    Windows 10 is not currently supported. We plan to add it to the supported platform in SP 14 which is planned for sometime end May.

  • Crystal report - need some help

    Hi
    I'll try to explain my problem simply. Basically we have a support line in our company and i am putting report on a screen that will show missed calls ( that part is done) and was the call returned(here is the problem).
    We have 3 inbond phone queues and 1 outbound. I am connecting to orderlystats database which is supplying me with the missed calls and the queue id. It is supplying as well, was the missed call called back or not, but marking that only if missed caller call back again, if we call back him the orderlystats is not marking that missed call as called back.
    Now what i want to do is check in the outbound queue, was there a call with the same callerid that have been missed and if there was a call like that, mark the missed call as returned.
    Here is some info about the database:
    acdqueueid (Number)      (1 = outbound queue, 7 = inbound queue, 8 = inbound queue, 10 = inbound queue)
    callerid (String)
    calledback (Number) (0 = no, 1 = yes)
    At the moment the report is not displaying the outbound queue at all as we want just the inbound missed calls. The question is how i can compare the callerid from 3 inbound queues and check was there the same callerid in the outbound queue and mark that in called back variable?
    Current SQL Query:
    SELECT `orderlystats_call1`.`calledback`, `orderlystats_call1`.`entry`, `orderlystats_call1`.`agentid`, `orderlystats_call1`.`acdqueueid`, `orderlystats_call1`.`holdtime`, `orderlystats_call1`.`callerid`
    FROM   `orderlystats`.`orderlystats_call` `orderlystats_call1`
    WHERE  (`orderlystats_call1`.`acdqueueid`=7 OR `orderlystats_call1`.`acdqueueid`=8 OR `orderlystats_call1`.`acdqueueid`=10)
    I hope all this make sense.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Karol

    I honestly got lost in translation, but, I would think you could leave the main report as is.
    Add a sub report, add a link to the sub-report,  link by the call id.
    In the subreport, make your db connection the Callback database.
    you could then pull info from the Callback DB, based on the value of the Call ID from the main report.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • Can xcelsius use crystal report instance to display data?

    HI experts,
    Here we use live office with crystal reports to feed data to xcelsius flash. We schedule the crystal reports every day, and want to use data of the crystal report instance when user open a xcelsius flash.
    Can this be realized ?
    thanks a lot !

    Hi Sam,
    You can do this. Go to Live office and goto to the "Properties for all objects" and select the refresh tab.
    Select the option as "Latest Instance" for refresh option and then save the Excel sheet and re-import into Xcelsius.
    This would refresh the data from the latest instance of Crystal report.
    Thanks,
    Amit.
