Escape sequence in BEx URL supported ?

Hi,
BW version 3.5 support pack SAPKW35013.
I need to put a BEx URL in a workflow workitem description, which means that I cannot use the
& character in the URL. However, the URL has
several variables being passed across to it...
Is it possible to use escape sequences for the &
character ? According to HTML standards,
%26var_name_1=Field%26var_value_ext_1=Value
should be identical to
&var_name_1=Field&var_value_ext_1=Value
Unfortunately when I try using %26, the parameters are not
being passed across to the report... [ which works fine
when using &]. Is there anything special which needs to
be configured, or does the BEx service simply not interpret URLs as per HTML standards ?
Thanks
Ian

ISO-2022-JP support and ISO-2022-JP-2 escape sequences

I have a mail generated by Outook with some Japanese text in. Outlook has set the charset as ISO-2022-JP. The ISO-2022-JP encoded text of the mail can be found here.
Java 1.5 and 1.6 fail to load this text properly when using the ISO-2022-JP charset. The description of this charset is JIS X 0201, 0208, in ISO 2022 form, Japanese. I'm guessing that the problem is due to the use of an escape sequence that is defined in [ISO-2022-JP-2|http://www.mhonarc.jp/RFC/rfc1554.txt]. The escape sequence is hex 1B 24 42, which means that the charset is JIS X 0208-1983.
There's no ISO-2022-JP-2 charset support in Java 1.5, not sure about 1.6.
I'm thinking about writing a filter reader as a hack to add support for ISO-2022-JP-2. I guess that if I remove the escape sequence, the text should load properly using one of Shift-JIS, EUC-JP or ISO 2022 JP. Any suggestions?
Edited by: bobajobrob on Mar 25, 2008 12:19 PM

1B 24 42 (ESC $ B) is valid in ISO-2022-JP. However, the text file includes invalid characters in the JIS X 0208 standard. The ISO-2022-JP converter in Java strictly follows the standards.
There are some ISO-2022-JP "variants" that are supported under different encoding names with compatibility workarounds. Please refer to Sun's bug ID 6173388 for details.

Leopard Terminal.app no longer supports ANSI print escape sequences?!!

I print my email using pine's "attached-to-ansi" option, which used to work great in Tiger with Terminal.app. It no longer works in Leopard. It also breaks things like the "ansiprt" Unix command.
This is a start/stop escape sequence that diverts text between the start/stop sequences to the printer. See http://www.termsys.demon.co.uk/vtansi.htm as a reference.
Is there some Terminal.app setting I need to use to enable this? Some specific terminal type perhaps?
Suggesting that I use enscript or other techniques don't work, as I use the Terminal to ssh into my mail server, then run pine on the mail server.
Anyway, any idea how to get this very desirable feature back?
Thanks,
-John

HI,
I tried to set "Escape non-ASCII input" without any change. I didn't see an option to change "Escape non-ASCII output". I tried a few other things without success either using a different terminal type and so forth. I looked in the .term file and didn't see anything text related to ANSI or ASCII or escape.
If I change a Terminal preference do I need to quit and restart Terminal to test the change, or does the change take place as soon as I change it in the menu? I tried quitting and restarting after checking "Escape non-ASCII input" and when I restart the box was unchecked. I couldn't find a "save preferences option either.
In Tiger, my terminal type was xterm-color- same in Leopard. I had checked off "Escape non-ASCII characters" under Tiger.
Here's exactly what I do, *which used to work in Leopard*.
I run Terminal.app on my MacBook, and ssh to a mail server. On the mail server, I run the pine command to read my mail. Pine has an option to print email using ASCII escape sequences. Terminal.app sees these escape sequences and diverts the text to the default printer on my MacBook.
Under Leopard, the Terminal doesn't catch the ANSI escape code, and just spews the text to the terminal window. Nothing has changed on the mail server side. I;m using the sane ssh command.
Enscript won't work, as the printer connected to the mail server is often as not in a different state than my MacBook.
Not all terminal emulators support the ANSI print escape sequences. Terminal didn't before Tiger, if I remember correctly. I used to use a very nice terminal emulator called Data Comet which did it.
ANSI printing used to be a fairly common way to print to a local printer connected to via a parallel cable. Besides pine, the Unix command ansiprt http://kb.iu.edu/data/abye.html could be used to print remote files on the local printer. Some terminal emulator programs used the idea to hook the ANSI escape sequence to the printing system, extending the functionality to use any printer accessible by the local system.
Thanks again for all your help. I hope I've clarified what I'm trying to do.

Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++, Bug in OLEDB ?

Command.text with ODBC escape sequence is not working in VC++. The Code, which written in VB is working perfectly. Is there any different syntax in VC++ or bug in
OLE DB provider ?. I am using OraOLEDB 8.1.7 version.
Thanks
Mani
VB Code
' Enable PLSQLRSet property
Cmd.Properties("PLSQLRSet") = True
' Stored Procedures returning resultsets must be called using the
' ODBC escape sequence for calling stored procedures.
Cmd.CommandText = "{CALL corpuser.GetCorpUserRec(?, ?)}"
Set Rst1 = Cmd.Execute
VC++ Code (while execute it is giving error )
pCommand->CommandText = "{CALL corpuser.GetCorpUserRec(?, ?)}";
pRs1 = pCommand->Execute(NULL,NULL,adCmdStoredProc);

Hi
The odbc escape sequence for calling stored procedures works fine with VC++ also.

Captivate 5/Saba Double Escape Sequence

I am trying to import a Captivate 5 module created from an imported PowerPoint from a SME to Saba's LMS system. My publish settings are:
SCORM 1.2,
Complete/Incomplete,
Percent,
Quiz Results Only,
Report Score
Customization Settiings:
Never Send checked,
Escape Version unchecked
Every time I post it to Saba, the import process shows no errors.
When I go to open it with the Preview option, I receive the following:
Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE"
HTTP Error 404.11 - Not Found;
"The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that contains a double escape sequence."
The course looks fine when I open the module after it is published locally, so the error occurs somewhere in Saba reading the imported package. Are there any ideas as to how can I fix this? As of now, I cannot publish anything I make in Captivate to our LMS making the software somewhat obsolete for me.

Never seen that one before.
Saba support of no help? Since it's their system's error message, you'd think they'd be able to tell you what that means...
'double escape' implies to me an issue with text formatting.
In your Captivate lesson, check the lesson and course names and identifiers.
Be sure there are no 'odd' characters in there, like apostrophes or ampersands. Try making all of those items just a simple word (i.e. test1 ) and republish and see if that helps.
FORCE a new republish, to a new .zip file...don't reuse anything from the previous file...

How to find the ISO-2022-JP escape sequence

Any suggestions(a tool or a Java Program) for finding the escape sequence of any given character in IS-2022-JP.
For example I am trying to find the escape sequence for "�" charater.

Luis Cabral wrote:
However, one single sequence would have exactly the same practical result and would be 200x easier to create and maintain.But keep serialisation in mind. A sequence is a single object that needs to service multiple callers, providing each caller with a unique number. So this object needs to support parallel calls (i.e. it needs to be threaded in plain programming terms).
At the same time, each of these "threads" need to ensure that they do not hand out duplicate numbers - so they need to serialise between themselves to decide who gets what unique range of numbers to hand out.
So the more intensely a sequence is used, the bigger the likelihood of potential serialisation. So there are performance considerations.
There's also data management considerations. Do you want a table to rely on an object such as a sequence that is shared by a number of other tables? Or do you want that table to basically "own" that sequence and not have shared dependencies?
The only reason you might need a separate sequence would be when the generated number is displayed and is somehow meaningful to the user (e.g. an order ID.) But if the number is only used internally to join FKs to PKs, I don't see the need to have a separate sequence for each table.I would not call a sequence number itself, "meaningful" in anyway. It's only purpose when used as a surrogate key is uniqueness - not identification/interpretation is some way that provides some kind of (abstract) meaning.

Escape Sequences for HP Color LaserJet 3600n

I want to be able to print a file to my 3600n printer with certain text printed in color. I print from a Fedora14 box. For output to the screen, I can use the well-known VT100 terminal escape sequences to achieve colored display, in, say, red. I want to achieve the same effect with printed files.
Does the 3600n respond to escape sequences? If so, where can I find a list of these escape sequences?
TIA,
Jon

Print in text mode to detect escape sequences

Hello,
We have got an issu, on our .NET print program using Crystal 12 SP3. The issue has concequences on :
- Barcode print on matrix printer
- Barcode print on thermal printer
- Other commands send to a FAX printer driver
Using the SDK, the print driver receives print data in graphical print mode, but it has to be text mode for the printer driver to detect the correct escape sequences. The escapes sequences are used by the driver to switch the font or receive a command.
Is there a way to force the print in text mode ?
The same report printed from Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 "works", but not from the .NET sdk.
Here is a little example. We made a simple Report, containing 2 simple Text Objects :
Code Barres $ [ /
+$$;111;6;1;1;0;2 z +
$$?0h0123456789$$?0/
We redirected the print driver spool in a file. Here are the outputs :

As you can see above, the characters contained in the report are sent "as this" in the print driver from Crystal Reports 2008. But the pixels represention of the characters are sent from the .Net SDK.

Hello,
thank you for your answer.
I forgot to add the 2008 com+ API output, that is exactly the same as Crystal Report 2008.
- From Crystal Reports 2008 : WORKS
- From a program using the 2008 com+ Runtime API : WORKS
- From a program using the 2008 .Net Runtime API : DON'T WORK
You wrote that all the runtime print engine sends to the printer is essentially a picture. But It do send text using the com+ API.
Should I understand : The .Net runtime print engine can't send text ?

Sending escape sequences to control command line printing

Hello Java Community,
I am interested in printing PDF files programatically by using a thread that used the runtime environment and the sending a command to print the file.
I hava managed to print files directly to the printer using "cmd /c acrord32.exe /h /p filename.pdf" thanks to iText FAQ.
The problem is that when I try sending the job to an Epson LX 300 printer, the job prints in letter quality while my intention is to print in draft mode.
I imagine that this problem could be resolved by passing escape sequences to set draft mode printing programatically so as to speed up my printing.
Anyone who can help me on how to achieve this.
Will appreciate your help.
Charles

Escape sequence on sender file adapter

Hello XI experts,
My scenario is,

I'm thinking of using Sender File Adapter with File Content Conversion
and setting "," as FieldSeparator.
If there is "," in a text field and I don't want the Adapter to recognize it
as separator, how can I difine escape sequence?
For example,
#default#
aaa,bbb,ccc,SAP,Oracle....
->
aaa
bbb
ccc
SAP
Oracle
#My requirement - define & as escape sequence#
aaa,bbb,ccc,SAP&,Oracle....
->
aaa
bbb
ccc
SAP,Oracle
Any infomaton is appreciated.

Dou you have a question ?
The character and string escape sequences allow for the representation of some nongraphic characters as well as the single quote, double quote, and backslash characters in character literals and string literals:'\b'     /* \u0008: backspace       */
'\t'     /* \u0009: horizontal tab */
'\n'     /* \u000a: linefeed        */
'\f'     /* \u000c: form feed       */
'\r'     /* \u000d: carriage return */
'\"'     /* \u0022: double quote    */
'\''     /* \u0027: single quote    */
'\\'     /* \u005c: backslash       */In case you are using Java 1.5, you might be interested in System.out.printf(), which usesformat string.

Escape sequences

im new to Java and i am trying to experiment with escape sequences and unicode characters: I have tried this one but I am having trouble
public class XmasTree
     public static void main(String[]args)
// to print " mark
          System.out.println("\0022");
when I compile this error comes up::Tool completed with exit code 3
when I run it this error messge comes up:: cannot locate client JVM in..."it gives the path of where I have installed JSDK"

// to print " mark
          System.out.println("\0022");That won't work; unicode escapes are processed before the code is passed to the compiler. What the compiler will see is    System.out.println(""");and that's not proper syntax -- not even code prettyprinter in these forums can handle it properly.
when I compile this error comes up::Tool completed

ANSI escape sequence for "Command" key?

I know there are escape sequences for ctrl (^), alt (~), shift ($), etc that can be used from the command-line, but I'm wondering if there's an equivalent way to invoke the command key (or the apple key or whatever you wish to call it) from a terminal?
I'd appreciate any advice, thanks!

Hi Evan,
   This is more than a failure of terminology. The use of certain key sequences cause the terminal to produce certain characters that are just like letters except that many processes take special action when these characters are encountered. These characters are called "control characters."
   For instance, type <Control>-v to "tell the shell" to not take special action on the next character produced. Then, if you type <Control>-c, the terminal will produce an End-of-Text character, ANSII character 3, and the shell will accept it as a literal character. However, it has no symbol for that character so it displays a pair of characters, "^C", in its place. Internally though, there is no carat and no 'C'; there is only the number three, which is the ANSII code for the End-of-Text character.
   The bash shell will substitute control characters for certain escape sequences in expanding words of the form $'string'. For instance, consider the following command:
echo $'\003' | cat -v
^C
Above, the first line is a command that you can cut-and-paste into your terminal. The second line is the output you would see if you execute the command. Bash replaces the $'\003' word with the literal control character and then "cat" converts that character to the pair of characters, "^C", to show you what had been there.
   Of course there are still terminology problems; you are not using the word "emulate" correctly. However, if there was such a meaning, I think that one would say that the character sequences "emulate" the control character, not the other way around.
   On the other hand, when you modify a key with the "Command" key, Macintosh programs treat that as an attempt to invoke a function of that program. No character is produced. In fact technically, the program never even sees the keystrokes. The system intercepts the key event and converts it to an AppleEvent.
   One tool on Macs specializes in producing AppleEvents and that is AppleScript. Fortunately, Apple wrote a utility to grant the shell access to AppleScript and that is the "osascript" command. That allows you to sort of imbed AppleScript in a shell script and that would allow you to send any program any event that the system would generate in response to a command key sequence.

How to parse the TelnetClient inputStream and remove the escape sequences ?

Hi all,
After inoking a telnet command (using the
'org.apache.commons.net.telnet' library) the returned output is wrapped
with escape sequence. For example, when sending "echo hello world" I
get this result:
echo
*[4;46Hhello*
*[4;52Hworld*
*[5;1Hhello world*
*[7;1HC:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>*
It looks like a chars and line counter, so I was wondering whether
there is an easier way to get it parsed in a more readable method.
Thanks,
Uri

Not fully qualified BEx URLs

Hi,
how can I use a portal wich is not in a domain? The BI Postinstallation will have a domain but we didn't have one for this server. I can not execute without give a domain. When I set a domain name which is not right, the Postinstallation is execute right. But if I then execute a template from BEx, the browser is empty. Thats right I think. If I then manually correct the url in the browser the error occurs which is descriped in Note 1126545: Not fully qualified BEx URL.
What can I do, to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Peter

The more i read the more i think CPPO is the right tool to use to move your EP to the domain via a portal copy.
If you can't do any changes to the portal you'll find difficult to work around a lot of things that require FQDN.
That's my 2 cents.
regards
Juan
PS: the note was to give you a hint about changing the host name to include the domain. (It might not do the trick though)
