Greek character problem

Hi, I've this problem using BW 7.0:
When I try to load some data from a table, the system find a greek character (µ) and it stop the data loading.
The error's message is this:
"Record 982 :0UNIT : Data record 982 ('0CSQA0787 '): Version 'µM ' is not valid"
I've try to use the rskc transation and add the character inside the "Pemitted extra characters", but when I saved the character, it will become a normal M.
Where is the issue?
Thank a lot to everybody would help me, bye

Hi
Try to update the same character(µM) in DTP Error Stack once again &
Try to load the Error DTP Run.

Greek character rendering problem in InDesign CS2

Hi Experts,
I'm using InDesign CS2 for journal publication.
I have experienced a strange problem in Greek character rendering. We have used "Math_PI" font for greek characters and it display correctly in the story mode and not in the page mode in some places (in page mode it shows alphabet character instead of Greek). This problem identified in the particular place and not for entire article.
Please find the below screen shot for your quick reference. The highlighted character "f" should be greek "gamma" which rendered correctly in story mode but not in page view.

Are you sure the Character panel isn't hidden behind another panel (Window>Type&Tables>Character)? When you choose Type>Size>Other a dialog doesn't open, the size field in the Character panel gets selected:

Client-side greek character set problem

hi everyone,
i am a .net developer and absolutelly new to oracle, its my first project that i have make oracle and .net co-operate and it's proving to be a nightmare!
i ll try and provide as much info as possible to you
we have a unix sap server with oracle 10.something on it (i can check exactly what version if that's of importance) and i am writting a .net app which accesses the oracle db and retrieve some data we need
the locale settings of the db are american_america.we8dec and i cannot temper with that machine, it is out of the question
i have made the connection to the db using just connection string info, not tns and stuff, and i have set my dev machine's nls_lang to we8dec everywhere i could find it with a 'find' in the registry
however my app displays the data (which is in greek) showing random symbols that obviously make to sense
furthermore when i connect to the db via sql developer or navicat i still get the same symbols
i understand it is something to do with my client system's settings but i cant work it out
i would really appreciate your help i am sorry if it is something very simple but i just cant find it
thanks

It's a brand new universe, but if you take it step by step I'm sure you'll do fine. Get someone near with Oracle dev and dba background to guide you, so you don't get stuck or go down broken roads.
we have a unix sap server with oracle 10.something on it (i can check exactly what version if that's of importance)It is of importance most of the time. Down to at least 4 positions (for example, "10g" is just a marketing label and mostly useless in a techincal context - 10.2.0.5 is more like it).
Also mention platform (unix OS) details.
and i am writting a .net app which accesses the oracle db and retrieve some data we needHow is the to-be retrieved data loaded or entered to begin?
>

SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET';
and i have set my dev machine's nls_lang to we8dec everywhere i could find it with a 'find' in the registryDoes your dev (client) machine use a "we8dec" character set? Likely, as you seem to be on Windows, you should have set nls_lang client char set part to match win-1252 or whatever client char set (code page) is in use.
however my app displays the data (which is in greek) showing random symbols that obviously make to senseNo surprise since DEC character set does not have a greek character in its repertoire. If I'm not all mistaken DEC MCS (or similar) is the charcter set to which WE8DEC corresponds. You could check against mapping table in Locale builder, but available characters should be per following link or close enough.
http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html#ISO-8859-1 (second chart is DEC-MCS)
Please provide a sample of those "random symbols".
furthermore when i connect to the db via sql developer or navicat i still get the same symbolsIf that's Oracle SQL Developer it should give a true picture of what's actually stored - which, unfortuantely, seem to be invalid character data.
i understand it is something to do with my client system's settings but i cant work it out See above. But even if you correctly setup client environment, the db won't be able to store the data if databas character set is in fact WE8DEC.
>
i would really appreciate your help i am sorry if it is something very simple but i just cant find it I'm not sure, but it would seem as you have been given unfeasible conditions to work from. So maybe it's not up to you, until a character set migration has been taken place.
In general, the Database character set should be a suitable superset (repertoire) that covers all current (and hopefully future) language alphabets requirements.
You might want to search forum for 'we8dec' to find previous related discussions.
Edit:
- Added url with DEC MCS.
- platform info

BI JDBC character problem

I tried to write multiple data to database by using BI JDBC connection.I wrote "insert" statement in the SQL_STATEMENT on the line(event) from table to BI query.It works.I select multiple records in the table and write these records to database.But there is a problem about some Turkish Characters such as ü,ş,ğ...There is no character problem when using stored procedures(JDBC connection) instead of BI JDBC.But I cannot write multiple records by using stored procedures.I select multiple records in the table, it onlys writes the first record when using stored procedures.Can I write a stored procedures which takes multiple records from VC? Or, how can I solve Turkish character problem when using BI JDBC connection?
Thanks,
Nihat

Hi Nihat,
I think it depends on your JDBC Driver, which character set it supports. Your database supports turkish characters, when it works with a stored procedure. Maybe you can try to use a conversion for using JDBC. Did you check the manual of the jdbc driver? Did you contact the the jdbc driver vendor?
Best Regards,

URGENT Problem with Greek Character from an Oracle database

Hello, I am having a serious and urgent problem with the character settings of an oracle database (8.1.7). The database is sitting in a solaris unix server and when we run the env command we have the following in the NLS_LANG parameter: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (I do not know if this is helpful). When I retrieve data from oracle database (through a VB.NET 2005 program)to a dataset I use a special font in order to see the greek characters (HELLASARIAL). But when I am trying to save these data to a TXT file the greek characters are like Chinese to us. I tried several encodings (System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(869)) but without success. Can someone tell me how to convert the oracle greek characters during the selection or during the saving to the TXT file?
Please respond as fast as you can.
Thanks in advance

Here is the answer of the microsoft:
I have the information that you have a VB.Net 2005 application connected to an Oracle database 8.1.7.4 hosted on a UNIX server.
This database has the CharacterSet WE8ISO8859P1.
When retrieving Greek characters from this database in the application, you cannot see them.
Could you please send me a screenshot of these characters in the .Net application?
Are they displayed as gibberish, or as inverted questions marks (?)?
I already had similar cases with Hebrew characters hosted on an Oracle database.
These characters were displayed as questions marks on the client side.
This is due to the fact that System.Data.OracleClient is using the Server CharacterSet to display the characters.
If your Greek characters are not stored in the WE8ISO8859P1 characterset, then they won’t display correctly on the client-side.
This is different from OLEDB where you could interact on client side by modifying the NLS_LANG parameter in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0.
The client NLS_LANG and the server CharacterSet had to match in order to correctly display the data, and avoid SQL*NET conversion.
So there are two solutions to your case:
- The first one is to create a new database using the P8 characterset. The Oracle .Net managed provider will so be able to use it and display the characters correctly.
- The second one is to use the OLEDB.Net managed provider, and then use OLEDB for Oracle provider. OLEDB will take care of the client NLS_LANG registry parameter.
Would it be possible to test your application against an Oracle database with WE8ISO8859P8 characterset?
Would it be possible to test it with the OLEDB .Net managed provider, and after checking the NLS_LANG client registry parameter?

Greek Character Set Problem

Dear All,
We are currently working on Oracle 8i to 9i migration and unicode implementation of an application SampleDB. We encountered an issue (described below) while the data migration.
Issue:
We have a database in oracle8i with
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
The character set WE8ISO8859P1 does not support GREEK language. The user inserts/modifies records in this database from the front-end. The front end installed in the client machine has the following setting:
Control Panel->Regional settings ->Advanced ->Language for non-unicode programs = Greek
Oracle client installed in English
Greek characters have been inserted/ updated into this database and retrieved and displayed correctly by the GUI.
Note: Greek data has been inserted into WE8ISO8859P1 database which does not support Greek characters.
Hence the actual data that is stored in the database are not Greek. Only while displaying, they are getting converted into Greek characters due to the settings in the client machine.
Requirement: Migrate the database to Oracle 9i - Unicode.
While migration, we need to eliminate any data discrepancy and make sure the data in the Unicode database is in Greek.
Can any one suggest us a method to do the migration to avoid the above mentioned problem?
Further, can any one tell us a way to verify what characters get stored in the database and help us identify if they are real Greek characters

The character set WE8ISO8859P1 does not support GREEK language.If you want to support Greek characters (or 'math' symbols), look at the EL8... char sets.
Control Panel->Regional settings ->Advanced
->Language for non-unicode programs = Greek
Oracle client installed in EnglishThis is dependent on the app and Windows. What is the NLS_LANG value in this Oracle home? NLS_LANG should be adjusted to fit the application.
Note: Greek data has been inserted into WE8ISO8859P1
database which does not support Greek characters.
Hence the actual data that is stored in the database
are not Greek. Only while displaying, they are
getting converted into Greek characters due to the
settings in the client machine.Maybe character data does not get converted, but still shown as greek.
Further, can any one tell us a way to verify what
characters get stored in the database and help us
identify if they are real Greek charactersIn the case of character data, what you really store depends on the db and the character values. You can use dump or some other PL function to look at the values.
There's a Database Globalization Support Guide for 9.2 that might be useful.

Greek Character Display Problem

Hi
Server Side : We are using Oracle 8i . Database Character Set = UTF8.
Client Side: Windows XP. Modified Control Panel->Regional Settings -> Advanced->Language for non-unicode program = Greek.
Changed Alter session set NLS_Language = GREEK
When we opened the oracle connection in our VB application.
From our Visual Basic application
Now I am able to input greek chars, Retrieve it back and displayed correctly.
But When we copy a particular string and paste it in a field, one particular
character is always showing as ?. As we don't have a greek keyboard, I don't
know what combination of keys to press to key-in that particular character.
This is the Word I have copied from Editor and pasted it in the VB field.
Ονοµα επιßάτη .
Except the Character which looks like B, all other greek characters are getting displayed properly and inserted correctly in the database. Only that particular letter is displayed as ? (question mark)
Any idea what is wrong !!.
Thanks in advance.

Non-English character problem in Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hi There;
I have a table. It's name is INSTITUTION. It has a NUMBER INS_ID and NVARCHAR2(50) INS_NAME . INS_NAME can contain Turkish characters, such as "ğ,ü,ş,ç,ö". According to business logic, there can not be a repetition on the INS_NAME.
User will enter institution name from a textbox in ASP.NET , and I check this name in database from c sharp code, if there is no repetition, we will add this record.
The problem is; when user enter a instition name that contains Turkish character, there is a duplication. If there is a instition name is *"su işleri"* , the both query; SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION WHERE INS_NAME = *'su işleri'*; and SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION WHERE INS_NAME = *'su isleri'*; returns no result, even though there it is.
But if instition name is "oracle corporation" (there is no Turkish character) it query successfully. I have the same problem in Toad for Oracle 11.5.1.2. When I query database from toad SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION, the phrase *"su işleri"* has appeared. But when I query SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION WHERE INS_NAME = *'su işleri'*; , there is again no result.
When I connect oracle database directly and perform the query SELECT * FROM INSTITUTION , the phrase *"su isleri"* (not *"su işleri"* ) has appeared.
Here are the language settings of the database:
National Language Support
National Language Parameter Value
NLS_CALENDAR______________GREGORIAN
NLS_CHARACTERSET__________WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_COMP__________________BINARY
NLS_CURRENCY______________TL
NLS_DATE_FORMAT__________DD/MM/RRRR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE________TURKISH
NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY_________YTL
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY__________TURKEY
NLS_LANGUAGE______________TURKISH
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS______BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET___AL16UTF16
NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP______FALSE
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS____ ,.
NLS_SORT___________________TURKISH
NLS_TERRITORY______________TURKEY
NLS_TIME_FORMAT____________HH24:MI:SSXFF
NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT_______DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SSXFF
NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT____DD/MM/RRRR HH24:MI:SSXFF TZR

How can I resolve that problem? Thanks in advance.

New Line Character problem in mail attachment

Hi all,
my xi-box is in patch level 16. i need to send the mapped xml as a pipe delimited file(a lineitem per line) attachment to a mail id. so i use MTB to content convert the payload and attach the content as an attachment using a custom module and send the mail. Since the naming convention of the attachment (as per my requirement) says the file should be a .txt file, i 've used text/plain as the content-type.
if i open the attachment in textpad or wordpad i can see one lineitem per line; but if i open it with notepad its not the case.lineitems do not appear in separate lines but appear continuously. i 'm seeing a box character as a separator between the lineitems. i'm not able to figure it out why.
i used MTB in file adapter and content converted the payload and opened the file in notepad;it was fine.
But i'm not able to figure out why its happening with the mail attachment. If you have come across such a problem please suggest me to solve this.
Regards,
Sundararamaprasad

Is there any way you can send the file in an ASCII format instead of BINARY format. In many of my resolved cases I just change from binary to ascii and it works for eg., while doing FTP.

I habe a Problem in an HTTP to IDOC Scenario. The configuration works and when I test it, by using the Test Message Tool from the Runtime Workbench i get the following problem:
I post an IDOC XML Charset iso-8859-1 when it arrive as IDoc in business system german umlauts would be displayd very cryptic

Big5 character Problem in JSP.

Platform: Mandrake Linux 9.1
XWindows: Gnome
Browser: Galeon, Mozilla
Locale: ZH_tw
Server: Tomcat 4.1
=============================
Problem 1: the parameter receive and decode incorrectly
When I use "post" in form, to post "How are you" or Ni Hao Ma(3 characters), the JSP will decode them into 6 different chinese characters.
Probably, it breaks the Big5 code into 2 different bytes before it decode as Big5 characters
I don't know, is it browser fault or JSP fault?
Problem 2: the static chinese output incorrectly
If the chinese character directly insert into a String variable before it sent (output) to client, it works fine. But when I just put it together with static html tags, the JSP translate the Big5 characters as English (ISO) format and the browser display ???A???F
===============================
<%@ page contentType = "text/html; charset=utf-8"%>

Anybody could help me, urgent...
I would appreciate any suggestion.

one thing that looks odd is that you have specified both UTF-8 and BIG-5 as the encoding in 2 places. I'm not sure what the browser will use. However, here is my JSP page that I've used before to make sure what I'm doing for multiple language support. You should be able to use it as is, I would think.
