Deleting file with special character in name gets error -43

In my Trash folder there is a .html file with a name containing special characters (oriental) left over from when I uninstalled Adobe CS2. When I try to change the file name to delete the special characters so I can trash the file, I get error -43, and the name won't change. Therefore I can't get the file deleted from the computer because I can't get rid of the special characters.
Is there another way to accomplish the same thing?

I presume you are referring to the notorious Vietnamese file. Others have had success getting rid of it wuth these instructions .

can not delete it. Tried e*.txt, did not work.
removed everything from the directory , renamed the directory to badDirectory , tried rm badDirectory /s /q
and that didn't work.
dir /X did not report an 8.3 file name.
can not delete file or directory from FileManager either.
went to a Linux box and did an smbfs mount. Still can not delete file.
So, how does one delete a file with a openface curly bracket in the name?

Upload file with special character in ECC 6.0?

Dear All,
Does anyone know that in ECC6.0 unicode environment, can we upload special character like
eg ¢, ©, É. It's ok in 4.6c version but not in ECC 6.0. Any idea ?
Thanks

HI,
Try using
open dataset <DSN> for output in legacy text mode.
and also in transfer statement pass the actual structure rather than a flat structure, while executing transfer statement for legacy mode the field lengths are taken into consideration and there is no spill over of spaces to the next field
say if you have a structure:
data: begin of wa_output,
name(20),
email(30),
end of wa_output.
and a flat structure
data: w_out(50).
then in transfer statement use wa_output rather then w_out.

Uploading file with special character like ( # , $ or any other special ch)

Hi All,
This perform statements then uploads the file from UNIX. Because of the special character in the file this program fails.
Please let me resulation as soon as possible .

Greetz Richard

Hi Greetz Richard
Problably character contains same binary code as line feed + carriage return.
You can use statement below as workaround.
OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UNICODE
In this case your system must support Unicode encoding
Kind regards

Can't save file with special character

I'm trying to download a file using this
do shell script "curl -L " & DLLink & " -o " & destFile
destFile is defined with this
set destFile to POSIX path of ((choose folder) as text) & file_name as text
file_name contains "(" and ")"
AppleScript gives me this error
error "sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

You could try using Applescripts 'quoted form of' and let Applescript figure it out.
ie:
do shell script "curl -L " & DLLink & " -o " & quoted form of destFile
see Technical Note TN2065, do shell script in AppleScript.

Read Document in FileUtilities cannot search a file with french character in the file name

Hi,
I am trying to search a file with french character in the file name like 'captures écran.doc' in my unix server directory, and Write the file somewhere, say in a list of documents or, write on file system to another directory.
I am using to Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation, but it cannot read the file due to french character in its name. Although it can find any other file name without these french characters.
Tried renaming but that also cannot find the file with french character name.
Please provide any idea to solve it using LC operation.
Regards,
Rohan Raj.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the post, but I have already found a solution to it a month ago. Sorry for not posting the solution.
You just have to set the '-Djava.property.file.encoding=ISO8859-1' into JVM argument of your server startup, and bounce the server back to pick the new JVM arg set. And now the service Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation will read all french characters.
ISO8859-1refers to "Latin alphabet no. 1," consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout The Americas,Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is also commonly used in most standard romanizations of East-Asian languages.

Rohan Raj.

Saving webi document from BOXI 3.0 in excel with special character

Issue :Saving webi document from BOXI 3.0 in excel with special character as report name then file name in excel is not correct.
This happens only with Mozilla, get correct file name in IE.
Steps to Reproduce:
1)Create a simple XI3.0 webi report through mozilla browser
2)Save the webi report with special character name for e.g øäåýþ.
3)Open the webi report and save it as excel or pdf file.
4)Report name øäåýþ saved, displays with other junk characters instead of actual reporta name( øäåýþ)
5)When saving the save report through IE browser in excel or PDF display correct report name øäåýþ in excel and PDf file.
Even after making changes in character encoding to UTF in the Firefox options (Content tab-> font & colors : advanced button -> Character encoding does not make any difference.
Has anyone came across such type of issue?
Whether this is limitation of Firefox or bug.

File Adapter - special character in Filename

Hi,
i have a question concerning file adapter.
Scenario: we are polling files via file sender adapter (FTP).
Problem: if the filename contains a special character, an error is thrown with 'The System cannot find the file specified'
Scope: Special character in filename (not in payload)
Installed: XI 3.0 SP 19 on Linux
Questions:
- what FTP implementation does XI use?
- What do i have to check/upgrade to unicode?
- is it an OS problem or an Java problem or a XI problem?
- or is it not possible copiing files with special characters in filename?
Thank you very much in advance.
Michael

Hi Michael,
The file/FTP adapter supports both passive and active FTP data connection. You can select the data connection while configuring the adapter.
The file/FTP adapter follows specification RFC 959. The specification can be found on the Internet under www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt.
For FAQs about the file/FTP adapter, see SAP Note 821267. Please note that you'll need an account to log in on service.sap.com.
Question: How are you specifiying the file name? i.e. Are you using placeholders, like ?, *, *.txt, etc ?
If there's a problem with the filenames, then it should be a problem in the JAVA implementation of the adapter I assume. So you could for instance build your own adapter extension to by-pass that problem.
Just for your information; I haven't encounter a problem with filenames in other projects.
Good luck!

Error: Invalid dimension member with special character / in BPC NW 7.5 SP7

Hi experts,
We are encountering the following problem in our Financial Planning application.
We are migrating our existing BPC solution from one server to another through backup and restore. The existing solution was on BPC NW 7.5 SP 5. The profit_centre dimension in the existing solutions has several member ids with special character '/' (forward slash). The dimension never threw an error when processed in the existing solution and there is planning transactional data against these member ids.
While the entire configration , appset , files were successfully restored through UJBR on the new system (BPC 7.5 SP7) through UJBR (backup and restore), the masterdata could not be restored only for this Profit_centre (masterdata for other dimensions were processed successfullu). All the member ids with / are rejected for this dimension. The same error is thrown if processed through the admin client from the member sheet.
Error: Dimension member PC_FF/WS/NT is an invalid member ID
Error in Admin module
Is there any setting which need to be made to allow / character in member ids? Any suggestion to get around this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Abhiman

Hi Abhiman,
Yes, you need to maintain the transformation file to correct all dimension member IDs. Can you please refer to the following link with a similar issue:

Hope this helps.

DIS PDF with special Character like cyrillic or chinese

Hello,
does anybody know how I can solve my Problem with PDF-Documents with Special Character which are Checked In (Tcode CV02N)
If I want to open the file again, it will be downloaded to
C:\Users\....\AppData\Local\SAP\SAPGUI\tmp\####
and not with the Special characters.... so SAP says
File
C:\.......
could not be accessed
So is there any flag to set in the customizing that the downloaded file will be with the correct Name or any note?
(Our System is a Unicode System)
(my Laptop has all the Windows updates including the language packages for Russia and China)
Thanks in advance
Stephan

Hello,
the SAPhttp.exe is in the Folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\Unicode
on my laptop
therefore I think it should be the Unicode Version?
