German Characters / Deutsche Umlaute bei Export falsch
When exporting pictures out of lightroom using Mac-OSX 10.5.6. some charcaters in the Caption are changed into strange characters. For example ä becomes %% and ü ä ö also.
What can I do?
Deutsche Umlaute (üöä und ß ) in der Bildunterschrift werden beim Export mit Mac-OSX verunstaltet. Was kann ich tun?

Hello Lutz,
the export is done with a procedure using the UTL_FILE package.
I started the procedure from a ms environment
with a tool like toad, or plsqldeveloper, or golden,
I started the procedure from ms environment from a dos box using sqlplus,
and I started the procedure from a unix environment using a shell script.
The result was always the same. And meanwhile I think the export was always done right, using characterset NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8, so I exported using an UTF8 characterset.
My editor (where I opened the exported file) just hasn't
converted 'automatically' UTF8 -->ASCII
Now another question, if I like to export using another characterset e.g. we8iso8859p15
how can I change the characterset during / just for the time of the export ?
With ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = GERMAN and
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY = GERMANY
I can change these 2 parameters during a session, but how can I change the characterset ??
Something like ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANG = 'german_germany.we8iso8859p15'
or ALTER SESSION SET NLS_CHARACTERSET = we8iso8859p15 does not work.
How can I export using a specific character set e.g. we8iso8859p15 ?

I am trying to import some data using the data load, load text data function.
This data contains german characters like umlauts. When they have been imported, they get corrupted and display as squares.
What do I need to do to correct this. I tried changing the apex language to german in the shared components, but it still corrupted.
Cheers
GusAre you using the
Home>Utilities>Data Load/Unload>Load>Load Data

Did you try to use File Character Set Western European ISO-8859-1 ?
That works.

Hello Team,
Here we are facing issues while converting SAP tables data to XML file.
the description is not converting properly for the special German characters like ü, ö, ä.
Actual output should be :Überprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
Output Displayed :Ã#berprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
Can you please look into and help me in this to get correct output .
Thank you.Hi,
Unicode or Non-Unincode System ?
Displayed where ? SAPGUI ? Print Preview ? Spool-Display ?
And how is the XML file written ? OPEN DATASET ? BAPI ?
At all of these stages it might be either that it is only a display system, like the selected display CHARSET in SAPGUI, when it is a non-unicode system, or simply not coded correctly like OPEN DATASET without specifying the cdepage when necessary.
And it might even be, that even "displaying" the XML File is simply done with the incorrect codepage while the data inside the file is correct.
If you are on Windows, you might even face funny results when saving a simple textfile from notepad with ANSI/DOS and both Unicode variants and then go to CMD.EXE ans simply "type" the content.
All 4 results will be different, allthough notepad will display the same stuff.
So first of all, makes sure which codepage is relevant at all stages from DB-table to "display"
- DB-Charset
- SAP system type (unicode/non-unicode)
- SAP codepage (1100 / 410x )
- crosscheck the test from report RSCPINST
- Codepage on Windows running SAPGUI
- Selected codpage for Sapgui
Good hunting

Problems with german characters in data migration
Hello,
I tried to migrate a Access 2002 mdb to Oracle 10g XE. In order to avoid errors I used Access 2000 exporter to generate xml and dat for table and data, imported the schema to Oracle database, generated data move scripts and imported the data with a batch-file.
I did it according to the steps explained here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/viewlets/ofdm.html
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/appdev/msamigrate/msamigrate.htm
All german characters in Table names were migrated correctly. But when I import the data, german characters are converted to weird signs like ü.
If I open the dat-files with windows editor all german characters are displayed properly. If I open the same file with wordpad the german characters are displayed with the errors described above.
Environment
Win XP SP 3 German
Ms Access 2002 sp3 german
SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 german
Access 2000 Exporter 10.2.0.2.5
What am I doing wrong? I can't get it solved since two days.Check if database characterset supports these special characters
check client's nls settings.
check client machine's language settings (converts characters in driver level) -
Hello Friends,
I am new to SDN and would like to know something. I want to print special german characters via SAP like 2 dots on alphabet A and O. How can I get those printed on the document. Currently these special characters are not printed but a blank space is printed instead. Can someone help?
Regards,
Atul Lotlikar.Hello Friends,
This is about a non-unicode system where I see that the european characters like the german umlauts ( ä, ö, ü ) are not printed. What could be the solution? Implementing a new codepage like ISO 8859-2 or can it be done with the existing codepage 1100? Can someone help me on this?

Unable to load German characters in NON Unicode Essbase Cube
Hi Guys,
This is what we want to do:
Build a Cube for Germany on our Essbase server in US. Our users will access cube using Excel Add-In from Germany. But since the Essbase server is in US, system environment variable ESSLANG is set to English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary.
The version of Essbase we are using is 7.1.3.
What we tried & failed:
To load German characters from our dimension build Text file, we added a header: //ESS_LOCALE German_Germany.Latin1@Default
at the beginning of the dim build Text file hoping the rule file will understand that the file contains German characters & load it correctly. Then using EAS I load the dimensions using its corresponding rule file.
Essbase loads the dimensions correctly, with NO Error, but when it encounters German characters it Replaces it with a Question Mark "?"
Some of the German characters are:ß Ü ü Ö ö Ä ä Å Ä Ö
Lastly, the reason we do not want to build Unicode cube is because Excel Add-In will not work with Unicode cubes.
Its urgent. Please help.
Thanks.The simple and easy way to check
non-unicode character sets are not supported on unicode system any longer. Am I right?
Transaction code i18N
Select
trouble shooting --> printing test --> smartforms --> multiple scripts, select your output device and see print preview. it will display all supported characters.
I guess, above information will be useful for closing the thread.

Special German characters not printing correctly on BI pub report
Hi
We have a BI PU Report which gets the XML from the 6i reprot, the titles on the report are dervied from a custom table where we store the label value for each language. THis is worked so for okay on NA, now we migrated this to Europe and having issues with the label value. when the XML is viewed from the unix server the value appears oaky (the value is : Abnahmeprüfzeugnis),
but when I copy the XML output and view it from the desktop, it appears as Abnahmeprüfzeugnis , bsically it replaces ü with ü.
The pdf output also prints this wrong value (as Abnahmeprüfzeugnis). Not sure what's wrong with this. Please let me know if you have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ravi
Edited by: user8944246 on Jun 10, 2010 12:30 PMSteve- I understand what you are mentioning about the ftp, the XML file looks okay on both server and the client except for the letter 'ü ' and the rest of the German characters prints okay. THe problem is that the BI reprot is printing the same wrong characters.

Transformation of german characters using xsl
Hi,
I have an xml which contains german characters .. i apply an xsl on the xml to get an html output using xalan. and the german character is converted to "?". When i try converting this using a stand alone java client class it successfully transforms it and am able to see the german character but when the same code is deployed within the application server all the german characters are converted to "?" on the browser. can anyone help me out on this ? i am using an oracle application server (OC4J)
Pointers on how to move ahead for solving the issue would be real helpful.
Thanks in advance,I'm doing this, and my XSL files include other XSLs. Here's the line of code I use:Templates t =
factory.newTemplates(new StreamSource(new File(getServletContext().getRealPath(xslFile))));where the String variable xslFile contains something like "Callers.xsl" and my Callers.xsl file is in the web application root. I don't doubt it would work just as well creating a Transformer. -

Problem in printing German characters
Hello Experts,
We have one issue regarding printing of German characters.
Issue : When an invoice is created an automatic printout is issued to printer and one is archived in Vf03 (path : invoice header data-> output -> edit -> diplay originals). In the automatic issued printout capital German characters like Ö are not getting printed in invoice. But if we see the same in VF03, the document which is archived, the German characters are appearing.
Could you please let me know what can be the reason for this ? It cannot be a printer issue because if we take a printout from VF03 the archived document it is printing absolutely fine. Problem is with automatic printout.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Ravi Teja.

German characters not displaying correctly when redaing from URLConnection
I have a java file reading the contents of a generated jsp page and writing to an html file and I have the code below doing that. However a couple of German characters like �, � and � are being changed to � in the html file. I tried to set the encoding for the reader, the OutputStreamWriter and also for the URLConnection, but it does not seem to help.
The data is fine in the database.

Thanks,
MonishaThis web page says that the correct encoding code is "UTF-8", not "UTF8".
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html#charenc
Maybe there are aliases, and it recognises both.... but worth a try.
Also, when you open the web page with a browser and view the source, do you see Utf8 mentioned in the webpage ? Maybe it's not in utf8, and you're trying to force your app to read it as such.
Ps. we won the war... tell them to start speaking English !

Sort order of german characters in SQL statements
I've a problem concerning the sort order of the german characters 'd'. 'v'. '|' in SQL statements.
Environment : Oracle Server 7.3.4
SINIX 5.43
The statement comes from an Windows application over OCI to the database.
The result of setting the NLS_SORT param to 'German' is that these characters are treated the same as 'a', 'e' and 'u', and not like 'ae', 'oe' and 'ue', as it is expected.
e.g. ascending sort order :
Bube, Bulut, B|schgens, Butza
but expected is: (| = ue)
Bube, B|schgens, Bulut, Butza
Any idea ?
Thanks for any help in advance.If two single quotes don't work, try backslash single quote, like \'
The backslash is often used as an escape character, meaning to treat the next character literally.

to a 'ý' when I press apply.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this or what could be the reason? I suspect
