Euro symbol appearing as ? on oracle forms

i am using application server 10gR2 forms and report services standalone which is connected to oracle db 10gR2 , all on one box running solaris 5.10
the db characterset is WE8ISO8859P15 which i think support EURO symbol. So when i store euro symbol in a varchar2 column, I am very well able to retrieve the euro symbol in pl/sql developer. However the issue is with forms as the forms screen display the euro symbol as question mark (?)
I have set NLS_CURRENCY to alt+0128 and NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15 in .env file.
Any suggestions on how to go about displaying EURO symbol on forms screen would be appreciated.

I obtain the symbol euro in my sapscript  form,
I only add the next code in the editor of sapscript:
<156>
The table TCP01 contains all code that SAP provide,
the field CPCHARNO is the corresponding for 156.
The "problem" is that you see the symbol only when you print in your printer (no preview).
believe me! 
Cordial greetings.

    Hello,
    When I view the output preview of the <u>Purchase Order (SmartForms) layout</u> ... the symbol for the <b>Euro currency</b> is <u>not</u> displayed correctly and appears rather as the character "<b>#</b>".
    How can I fix this??

  • Smart Forms Euro € symbol?

    Hello Experts!
    I want to add € in my Smart Forms Text.
    There is an OSS hint 616683 to this question but all releases mentioned are lower than our used release and the solution with entering the Number 156 for € doesn't work.
    Please help
    Best Regards
    Annette

    Hi Annette,
    Using SAP Script: 
    To print Euro Symbol in SAP Script, do the following: 
    Put the sequence <156> at the desired location in the text editor of the corresponding page window as shown below: 
    During the print preview, the output would be as shown below: 
    Using Smart Forms: 
    For printing Euro symbol in Smart Form, do the following: 
    In the Microsoft Word document, click on Insert -> Symbols 
    Select the Euro symbol from the list. The symbol would appear on the document. Copy the symbol and paste in the text editor of the Smart form as shown below: 
    Save and activate the Smart Form and do the test run. The print preview would be as shown below: 
    Printing of Euro symbol might not be possible on all Printers. By default, SAP R/3 supports the euro symbol only when using the SAPWIN device type and printing over SAPLPD (mainly used for individual document printing).
    To print this on Kyocera printers, do the following: 
    “When using PRESCRIBE device types (like kyofs150, kyofs170, zkm10pre) the euro sign will not be printed very beautiful. To print the real Euro sign instead of the combined ( and = character on top of each other) please set the character 156 of the SAP code page 1114 to 80 hex. In this case the Euro sign will be printed correctly. Alternatively please copy the code page 1114 to e.g. 9114 and make the modification there. Then you just have to switch the used code page of your device type (kyofs150, 170 or zkm10pre) to 9114 as well.”   
    Also check the SAP Note 0129581 for more information on this.

  • Euro Symbol and Oracle

    How can I display Euro Symbol in Oracle - if shows now as a opposite ?. I read that I ned to change the character set to WE8MSWIN1252. How can I figure out what set we are currently using?
    Thanks,
    MJ

    The "right answer" here is that the third party application does not support the Euro character (or any other character not in ASCII 1-127).
    My hunch is that the third party vendor has built an application that relies on unsupported Oracle behavior-- if your client NLS_LANG and database character set are identical, Oracle does not do character set translation when you send an retrieve data. This can allow a single application to appear to "get around" the limitations of the database character set. Basically, if every application that stores and retrieves data agrees to lie to Oracle in exactly the same way (i.e. I have Chinese data encoded in Big5, but I tell Oracle it is US7ASCII when I store and retrieve it, then treat it as Big5 after I've retrieved it) an application can appear to store Chinese data in an ASCII database. If any application that does not know how to "properly" lie to Oracle tries to query the data, however, the non-ASCII data will not be retrieved correctly. Since Oracle utilities (import, export, database links) and various layers like JDBC don't know how to "properly" lie to Oracle, this is generally not a long term solution.

  • Not getting Euro Symbol in PDF Report using XML Publisher

    Hi,
    We have developed an Oracle Report from Report Builder 6i and also a Template in RTF Format.
    We are using XML Publisher to display our XML Output in PDF Format to Users..
    There is a Field called Comments on Customer Transaction Form, where user can enter any characters and that we are querying in Report and displaying on the PDF Output.
    Currently, the user entered a Euro Character on the comments section and that was not visible to user on PDF Report and replaced by a Question Mark as below:
    "3% price reduction ?89.91, 20% marine"
    When i am Querying to the Database, i am able to see the Euro Symbol, but when i checked the XML generated on the Unix Box for the Report. I found as below:
    "3% price reduction \342\202\25489.91, 20% marine"
    So, the Euro Symbol on the database is replaced by " \342\202\254" in the XML Output and ? in the PDF Outbut.
    Please help ASAP.

  • Problem Inserting Euro Symbol and few others

    We are using java application with oracle 8.1.6 as the db with the charset as WE8ISO8859P15. ALl the forms are using multipart request. We cannot do away without that. When trying to insert euro symbol and few other western european characters, they get converted to something else before getting stored in the db and so we are not able to display them properly on retrieval.
    Can anyone please help in this direction?

    Just set the nls_charset.zip in classpath and then try to insert into db.I think it might not be a problem with database.(note. if u insert euro character it will be reside in db, as some format but u retrive it and stream it thru servlet it will be displayed in the browser properly, if u write using printwriter then it might give "?" / "O" in browser. refer http://www.inter-locale.com/faq/blacksquares.jsp).

  • Put euro symbol in ISO-8859-1 database

    is it possible to use jdbc to store a euro symbol in oracle with character set ISO-8859-1 then retrieve the information with jdbc and write it to a ISO-8859-15 textfile and display the euro symbol properly. i'm trying to do this and it doesn't work. as output i use a OutputStreamWriter object in Java using ISO-8859-15 to create an XML file and then i open it in Internet Explorer. it doen't recognize the euro symbols. strange thing is that when i view the source in notepad it does display the euro symbols properly. just using the OutputStreamWriter to write euro symbols also works well.
    i'm trying to find out what is causing this problem but i'm not quite sure. i never before had problems with character sets so it's all a bit new to me.
    thank you in advance.

    The ISO-8859-1 character set does not contain the Euro character, so the database cannot hold it properly. If you want the Euro character to appear in your database, you would have to change the database character set to something that can store the euro character (or make use of your national character set, if that will store the euro character).

  • Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

    Hi,
    I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
    Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
    Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
    rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
    1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
    2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

    I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle  App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle  App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release.  I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
    Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
    Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
    Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

    In addition to Craig's feedback consider the following:
    If you did not read the system requirements and installation guide, you likely will have problems.
    http://docs.oracle.com/html/E25460_01/r2_fr_requirements.htm
    <blockquote>1. Does your machine have a static IP address and/or the Windows Loopback adapter installed and configured?
    2. You indicated that you have 2gig of RAM. This is the minimum requirement just to install the product. It is very unlikely that you will be able to comfortably use the product with 2gig of RAM. Likely the performance will be so slow that processes will timeout before they can successfully start. You can actually see this occurring already - look carefully at the log info you posted.
    Further, if you are also attempting to run an 11g database on the same machine, this will never happen. Having only 2gig of RAM will never support running the DB and the components of FMw, and the Operating System.</blockquote>
