Entering a special character like a colon (:) in textarea field

Hi,
I am getting an error like the one below when entering a colon (:) in my textarea field. The error shows when the page submits but it does not branch to the next page where I wanted to go, but the database gets updated fine it's only the branching to another page. I know that I have to include the items between \item\ backslashes to include all charcter when I branch to another page on the application. Can someone tell me why I am getting this error. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
This is the error I get when I try to branch to another page on the application.

What charset are you using ?? (Judging frome you question its not utf-8)
If your pages charset/encoding not i utf-8 you have to use alpha codes to make special careters
If it is utf-8 you can simply write the special carecters.
To set the pages to utf-8 charset/encoding go to file>document encoding (You can also set the charset/encoding when crating new pages)
to use/write special carecters in non utf-pages you have to use alpha codes When writing in the codeview
the copyrightsign alphacode is & copy; or & #169; (without space)
When writing in layoutview GL shud translate the carecters to alphacode, if not go to codeview and rewrite them to alphacodes
You find the alpha dodes here

I'm not sure.
Perhaps UNISTR() or TO_NCHAR() will be helpful.

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?

How to show Special Characters like (∠) in an Embedded text field

I want to show some special characters like (∠). It is working fine if we don't embed the text field. But I want to use superscript and subscript font, so I have to embed that dynamic text field. When I embedd the texfield it does not show me the (∠) symbol. Instead it shows me a square symbol. Please let me know how can I solve this problem. My project is nearly finish except for this part.
Thanks in advance
Salim

Yes, I know we need to include the symbols. But I am unable to include it. Whenever I click on embed option and paste the symbol (∠) in the include these characters box, it appears as a square symbol. This is driving me nuts.
I even tried to embed All (54665 glyphs). But this is not working either.
Has anyone faced this problem before?

I have Lion on my Mac ProBook. Using Pages "09 4.1 I can't get special character like "Emoji" to work! Punctuation, arrows, etc work fine.

Why does Pages '09 Version 4.1 offer "special characters" when many are NOT SUPPORTED (according to the user guide) when I try to insert one into my text? My son-in-law is a zombie freak. A picture of a skull looks like it should be available in the "Emoji" section; but it will not, nor will any other emticon, consent to showing up in my text! < And this is all I can get on this site! The angry face wouldn't budge! I can get all the arrows, monetary symbols, upsidedown ? and tilde n's to last a lifetime.
For now I all I want from Santa is a skull, a puppy and maybe a dinosaur ..... the last 2 are for grandkids!

Jan
These are two entirely different things. The "Special Characters" are Unicode characters in fonts.
Emoticons and Emoji are substituted icons for certain typed combinations like : ) , : ( . This is a software trick.
If you want the actual little pictures just go to the various websites where they are available and copy paste or drag them into Pages like any other graphic.

Recently emoji have been added to the Unicode set:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji
But you need to find a font that actually includes them as glyphs. This is the only one I can find and don't know if it meets your needs:
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/EMOJI001.TTF
Emoticons and Emoji are common for browsers and email where such indicators of otherwise hard to tell facial expresions are useful. Such usage in a Word Processor or DTP application is very much a minority usage and perfectly met by simple imported graphics.

PS How do you not get these emoticons:

How to insert special character like trademark and registered mark.

I have tried using prepared statment, but characters like � (registered mark) are not inserted properly, in fact i tried using some debug statements before inserting. the data that is coming from html form fields it self shows that � - such characters are converted to ? . So on consol instead of � i see ?. How do I make sure that data passing from html form will pass � in a right manner and not ?. Also how do i insert these symbols in database

What database are you using, and what is the character set use for storage in that database?
What character set is your HTML page using?
You may have a character set mismatch somewhere. The registered symbol � is character 174 in Unicode and LATIN-1, so it cannot be displayed using just the ASCII character set.
If you have the character in a java String, it should be passed to the database properly with a PreparedStatement. Strings are Unicode in java.

Inserting special character like apostrophes with PHP/Mysql

Hi friends,
I have a problem with php/mysql. I have created a form inton a php page with dreamweaver and when i try to fill the form with a string containing apostrophe ( ' ), i have a error. It seems that the insertion is not possible. Could you have any idea for that. I give you the php dreamweaver code and thank you for your help.
<?php require_once('Connections/Mainconnect.php'); ?>
<?php require_once('Zend/Date.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";

    $theValue="NULL";
else
    $zendDate=new Zend_Date($theValue,"dd/MM/yyyy");
    $theValue="'".$zendDate->toString("yyyy-MM-dd")."'";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE pers_soc_reg SET field1=%s, field2=%s,
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['field1'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['field2'], "double"));

"Normally, you canot use mysql_real_escape_string without connection to database"
That is not true at all. Try running the following script.
<?php
if ($_POST['submit']){
$x1=$_POST['test1'];
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
if (!is_array($value)){
$_POST[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
extract($_POST);
echo "The text after 'becomes' should be escaped (\')<br/>";
echo "$x1 becomes $test1<br/>";
?>
<hr/>
<form action="#" method="post" />
Enter some text, including an apostrophe: <input name="test1" type="text"><br/>
    <p><input name="submit" value="submit" type="submit"/>
</form>

How to enter the special character ALT225 - the double S in Germany

Hi,
I use the double S of the German keyboard in my wifi password.
Any idea how to enter it ?
This is this one : ß
Thanks,

touch and hold the "S"...you will get different options for the letter...it must be a lowercase "s" and not and uppercase "S" otherwise you won't get what you are looking for. So, make sure the arrow isn't highlighted

Problem with special character like u00E5,u00E4 u00F6 in Sender JMS Adapter

Hi,
Problem:
Sender JMS Adapter has transformation error when the file includes western european characters such as å,ä ö. And because of this reason the data is not picked up by adapter.
The scenrio is JMS --- > XI ---> Proxy.
If the file does not include the western European characters then it is working fine, but when the file include the western european characters such as å, ä, ö so got the error.
Our Efforts:
We have tried ISO8859-1 in JMS Module Tab as shown below.
1. Transfer.ContentType text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1
AND with this also
2. Transfer.ContentType application/coctet-stream;charset=ISO-8859-1
None of them working.
Error In CC:
In Sender CC monitoring we are getting the below error.
Error while processing message 'aa157082-b064-4421-0fc3-c286d2732093'; detailed error description: com.sap.aii.adapter.jms.api.channel.filter.MessageFilterException: Error converting Message: sun.io.MalformedInputException: TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException' at com.sap.aii.adapter.jms.core.channel.filter.SendToModuleProcessorFilter.filter(SendToModuleProcessorFilter.java(Compiled Code)) ...
Any suggestion in this regard will be a great help.

Sarvesh

> I think you have to figure out first, which codepage you really have, not just try. Maybe you ask someone or you check with a hex editor.
Hi Stefan,
Finally we solved the problem.
As you said above to figure the the codepage, we asked to our MQ team for the same and found that they are using ISO-8859-1. In XI we were also trying with multiple conbinations (ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and many more), but didn't get any success.
Finally MQ team changed their encoding to UTF-8 and in XI we used ISO-8859-1 and we get the success in picking the data with spl char. Even though in XI the spl char comes in destorted order but at the receiver end they are in proper shape.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Sarvesh

Error while releasing transport request - Special character "_" in generic

Hi all,
we're receiving the error Special character "_" in generic key when releasing a best practice transport.
Note 1304725 describes my error, but the solution cannot be implemented. The reason for this is that we do not have an individual entry for eacht yb_PS,..,
but we have only one entry where field BWERT has a wildcard '*' as entry.
Does anyone has some idea how to solve this ?
kind regards !

Hello Bjorn,
How did you get this solved?
I'm having nearly the same issue:
A custom-table with a total key lenght of about 365 characters. As soon as I enter a special character (_) in the key field just before the position 120, the message tk287 rejects the entry. Entering the special character in a key field at about key position
60, there's no message rejecting the entry.
Regards

Problem with special Character & in Proxy

Hi,
We have a File --> XI --> R/3 Scenario. In this scenario, from XI we are passing the data to R/3 by calling the Proxy. When the data in the file has special character like & (for example <Companyname>Dave&Busters</Companyname>), it is failing in R/3. But if I replace "&" with "&" in the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this problem without writting custom code in XI to replace & with &.
Thanks
Sudheer

>But if I replace "&" with "&" in
> the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this
> problem without writting custom code in XI to replace
> & with &.
No. If the sender of the message provides an XML format with an unescaped &, then the XML is not valid and therefore cannot be processed.
All adapters (IDOC, RFC, File with content conversion) perform the escaping and deescaping.

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.
