Handle "0X0B" Hex Characters

Hi, how to deal with hexadecimal values in XI. There are some values in file like "0X0B"
regards
reema

Hi,
This can be avoided by using proper encoding scheme in ur communication channel.try using encoding scheme UTF-8 which will not convert the character into any special characters.
in case of ur file adapter it can performed by giving the basic type as text and encoding scheme as UTF-8.try implementing the encoding scheme.
Thanks

Handling Invalid(Hex) Characters Code for Unicode BI 7.0

Hi All,
I went through the beautiful weblog given by Eugene.. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4059. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] In the comments section of the weblog there is a code given by Dirk. I tried to use the code in my transformation logic and here how it looks.. I am using BI 7.0 and it is unicode system..
============================================================
DATA: l_d_length like sy-index,
l_d_char type c,
l_d_index type sy-index.
l_d_length = strlen( result ).
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-POO_TAG.
DO l_d_length times.
l_d_index = sy-index - 1.
l_d_char = result+l_d_index(1).
CALL FUNCTION 'RSKC_CHAVL_OF_IOBJ_CHECK'
IMPORTING
I_CHAVL = l_d_char
I_IOBJNM = 'ZPOTSTFL'
*" I_S_COB_PRO =
*" I_T_COB_PRO_CMP =
EXCEPTIONS
CHAVL_NOT_ALLOWED = 1.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
result+l_d_index(1) = ' '.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
===========================================================
I am using this to load from PSA to DSO, the info-object name is ZPOTSTFL(Length 3, No master, No text) and source field name is POO_TAG, since in the source the field is a free form text field and it has some hex characters ...we need to keep the free form (like $, lowercase letters, ###. etc..) but we need to eliminate the hex characters with space as it is affecting our load.
I tried this code and it gives me syntax error. In the blog Pedro has suggested to declare some 30 char string and assign that string to info-object name... I don't know that much ABAP can somebody help me with the code??

Nikhil

Hello Dilip
Out of three two of them are definitley possible. i.e
1) CU&UC
2) Upgrade first and then do Unicode Conversion ( 2 different downtimes)
third option is possible with R3 but with BW you need to consult the master guide. ( i am not sure).
you need to decide one of them based on your hardware sizing, database size, Downtime possible.
I would suggest Make a copy of production server. and perform the upgrade and then perform unicode conversion. this whole activity will give you exact timing you need. and possible errors you will face during upgrade and unicode conversion.
i hope this helps.
Thanks

Hex Characters in Comments Field

Hey there,
I was wondering if I could get an opinion/confirmation about something weird that I'm seeing after installing 5.0 on my Windows XP Home Operating System.
I get pretty elaborate in my Comments field, filling in Mood or "Feel" for each individual song, so I can pull up smart playlists of the exact soundtrack that I want to hear at any given time.
too much information here
So I download iTunes 5.0 and all of the sudden I notice that many of my comments have been overwritten with Hex characters.
Again, too much info here and here.
Do you think this may be related to iTunes' "SoundCheck" functionality? There is some talk on the innerweb about that, but not really confirmed anywhere.
Thoughts?
Would this make any sense?
The links I gave illustrate the issue with screenshots, pie charts and everything except blood samples, so it may help describe what I'm talking about.
Anyhoo, I'd be interested in any opinion/thoughts.
Thanks,
Zac

Is it possible that version 5 is "calling up" the wrong portion of the comment?
Possible? Obviously so. You're seeing it, after all.
Weird as ****? Definitely. It doesn't do that to me.
I don't know what to tell you other than to retag the comments on these files. I don't understand how an MP3 tag could break in that particular way. It's possible that Windows Media Player changed the tag in such a way that it damaged that bit (WMP likes to retag files that it finds without any sort of notification or anything), but it's very odd nevertheless.
There is a script available for "The Godfather" tagging program that will remove these hexadecimal comments. These comments are not actually needed by iTunes anyway, so removing them won't break anything. I don't know much about the godfather and scripting though.

:) yeah it's a super useful search box especially with projects with lots of files nested down in some deep packages ;p
The interesting thing is I'm not searching for .j.
The same error message comes up regardless of what I search for.
For example:
MyFile.txt
or
FuBar
both return the same error and both report errors list .j and Illegal hex characters.... it must be some weird config thing under the hood that got munted during the install.

I want to take a series of hex characters in a string control and produce an HDLC string indicator for example if the data string control is 3F27 then the HDLC string indicator is 7E003F2700B57E

"thanks for your help "
Does that mean you figured it out already?
If not, see this thread for some HDLC related code.

Regd: Handling of special characters in XML

Hi ALL,
i am using java mapping to conevrt IDOC XML to Flat file using SAX parse and then reading the whole content into a single Filed,the output of the java mapping is the input for graphical mapping .
My problem is there may be some special characters in the input IDOC. when ever these special characters come my java mapping is not able to Parse the IDOC.
Please let me know how can handle this special characters.
Thanks,
hemanth.

Hi ,
Java has some characters reserved which is normally used to declare the Entity Name. To handle such kind of situations, you can replace these characters with these special characters, which get substituted automatically while parsing the XML file.
Refer:

I hope it helps.

Sender IDOC with HEX characters

Hi Chaps,
I have a situation i.e. my sender IDOC is sending some HEX characters in the text fields, XI should interpret them and convert it into text fields to the target system.
Could some one guide me on the best approach for this?
Your inputs are highly appreciable.
Regards,
Vijaya

Hi,
You will need to loop at the string array and read it character by character. You can convert from HEX to unicode using the following line of code in your UDF -
char c = (char) Integer.parseInt("str", 16);
where str is the four digit HEX character at i'th position.
Hope this helps.

Riyaz

Eliminating Hex Characters in Data

Is there a way to search for specific hex characters in the database?
I have a phone number field of type varchar2, which has some hex characters I need to remove.
When I do query I see the following record.
     PHONE     DUMP(PHONE)
1     +001(718)380 4160     Typ=1 Len=18: 43,48,48,49,40,55,49,56,41,51,56,48,32,52,49,54,48,14
2     +001(225)292 2812     Typ=1 Len=18: 43,48,48,49,40,50,50,53,41,50,57,50,32,50,56,49,50,14
The hex character isn't visible in this post, but it is very much there. What's the mechanism to find this specific character? I want to find characters like '0x0E' and '0x01'
I hope I am being clear in my request. The objective is to ensure that none of these affect the XML transformation mechanism.

you can display the non-printable characters using ASCIISTR() function

How to accept only 4 or less hex characters in string control

Hi,
I want to accept only up to 4 hex characters in a string control. I dont want to use "hex display" property.
How is it possible? I have String control key down? event in event case, I tried it with regular expressions [0-9a-fA-F]{4} but then I have to accept left, right, delete, backspace, home keys as well.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree with Dennis that you seem to be making life difficult for yourself. However, you did ask the equivalent (as I understand it) "How can I allow the user to type "1", "2", "Ctrl-A", "B", "Ctrl-C", "D" and get this recognized as the string "12BD". If you really want to do this, here is one way (I was lazy and left the answer as an array of 4 1-character strings). I use PlatMods to exclude having any "modification" key other than Shift down, convert the numeric Char into a string, then count acceptable Hex letters and conditionally add them to the output array, stopping when I have 4 characters.

URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern

hi ,
i am getting "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern - For input string: \"\u000F\u0016\"
can any one help how to fix this issue?
Thanks and regards
Kavitha

U+000F and U+0016 are non-printing control characters that are explicitly forbidden in an URL and if I remember correctly even spell trouble when they are encoded.
If you want to transfer random byte data, then your best bet is to use some ASCII-safe encoding such as Base64 (note that you need to use a [modified Base64|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#URL_applications] in URLs to avoid having to double-encode "+" and "/").

Handling Non-English characters in the payload

Hi Gurus,
We are currently facing an issue in XI with Non-English characters. When we are trying to process Non-English characters in the payload , they are getting converted in to Junk characters at the receiver end. This scenario inbound to SAP ( File to Idoc scenario ) .

How to handle scadic letters & characters in sap PI?

HI experts,
i am working on file to idoc scenario using XSLT mapping in pi. My concern is to handle scadic letters and & character, messages will going with & character without any fail, if file encoding mode is ISO-8859-1 but if the file contains scadic letters file is failing in PI. If the file ecoding mode id binary then scadic letters will popules in idoc with out any fail but if the file has & character messages is failing in PI.
Please provide your inputs about how to handle this case?

Uday.

Uday,
Please try UTF-8 encoding.
Please attach input file, XSLT and screenshots of error, it will help in better understand the issue.

Handling of asian characters in CRM ICWC / WebUI?

hi
we would like to allow people entering asian text (e.g. chinese) in Interaction Center WebClient / WebUI. they'll be using English as logon language.
will now everyone (also european users etc.) looking at this text see the correct characters? or will only asian users be able to see it properly?
thanks for helping out on this.
regards
nicola

The related systems need to be upgraded to unicode (CRM, ECC) and the chinese language loaded.
The ICWC should then support the asain characters.
We'll find out for ourselves in the next 3 - 6 months as we are just about to do the unicode upgrade.

Handling HTML-reserved characters in passed item values

I've got a pair of pages in an application where one gets an item value from an inline value of a report on the other page. Since the link I created is conditional, I used the concatenate html string method to create the link. However, some of the values that are getting passed contain "+" as part of the value. How can I get this value to pass via the concated HTML string?
Here's the SQL I'm using:
SELECT x.*
,decode(x.source,'S','<a href ="f?p=&APP_ID.:403:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:RP:P403_PAGE_LOAD,P403_LOT_NO,P403_ATTRIBUTE:1,'||x.lot_no||',\'||to_char(x.attribute)||'\">S</a>','P') as icon
FROM x
where x.attribute sometimes contains the "+" character.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you both for replies ....
Since these urls are generated through code, what is the best way to go about it ?
Could you please explain a little about using of hash map in this case?
