Handle special characters in the attribute name

Hi,
I am generating different view element in WD application dynamically. How to handle special characters other than '-/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_0123456789' for the attribute name dynamically?
Thank you, in advance.
Trupti

Going with the obvious response - don't use them?
if you're using dynamic code, there is no reason (other than debug support) to give your created elements any meaningful name.
Just generate a GUID for each new element and use that.
If you need to be able to later search for and update the element a simple lookup table of GUID to reference string should work reasonably well.
Cheers,
Chris

Special Characters in the file name in Data Driven Subscription via File Share

Hi,
I am trying to create a Data Driven Subscription with option to delivery as windows file share in SQL server 2005. I need to save the report as a pdf with the following file name '[City] City_Name', but it errors out and it is because of the
Square Brackets. Is there any way i can save the file using the Square brackets as i mentioned above.
I am using a query to get the filename and filepath. It works fine as long as i do not have [], but i need to save the file as i mentioned along with the Square Brackets.
Please help.

Hello,
I can reproduce the issue on my test environment: When I create a Data Driven Subscription and specify the report name by get from a subscription delivery table, and the value of the "report name" column contains square brackets. The subscription failed
with following error in the error log:
ERROR: Error occurred processing subscription ab9523a6-0256-4607-b818-a7666204d018:
The file name is not valid. Avoid using special characters such as /\?*:<>|+,[]"& in the file name.

file name., DeliveryExtension: Report Server FileShare, Report: Report6, Attempt 0
It seems that the behavior is by design. please avoid using square brackets as file name. Maybe you can try to use parentheses () instead.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/815207]</blockquote> 
if i try to download a file with any special characters in file name (e.g. File_Name.pdf), it doesn't reconvert them from the "sanitize url" process and download the file an incorrect name (e.g. File%5FName.pdf).
This is really annoying.

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in hadling special characters while writing data to a flat file.
The data fetched in toad query is *44CAÑADO* (with some specail character over N), but when this same data is written in textpad using UTL_FILE.put_line, the data written is converted to *44CAÃ‘ADO*.
Can anyone please help me how to handle these special charatcers so that the same data is written in text file as well.
Regards,
Shruti

To find the database characterset, please see (Character Sets & Conversion - Frequently Asked Questions [ID 227330.1] -- 2. What is the database character set used for and how is it set?)

Query to Handle special characters in the conditions

Hi all,
We have a table for colour codes and there related information but the colour codes have special characters in them like
AL&.MPD
CH(SB00
ECA&BC1
TD..0023
0O'DON4
i need to check if these exist in the table or not but when i query like
select * from art.tb_color_code where color_code in ('AL&.MPD','CH(SB00','ECA&BC1','TD..0023','0O'DON4');
i get prompts for entering the variable values there are 2500 such codes
how do i negate the special meanings of these characters
Regards
Maverick

Hi,
If a string literal contains an apostrophe, use two consecutive apostrophes.
For example:
'0O''DON4'is a seven-character string. The third character is an apostrophe.
As others have said,
SET DEFINE OFFwill disable the special meaning of & in SQL*Plus.

How do I remove spaces and special characters from the file name during rendering?

I understand that I can set LR_renamingTokensOn to true, but I would like to replace all spaces in the file name with an underscore and remove characters not in the range A-Z and 0-9. What's the easiest way to achieve this?

local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
local sesn = LrExportSession {
    photosToExport = { photo },
    exportSettings = {
        -- ... (determine from export preset) - whatev you want, just be sure you set export directory: LR_export_destinationPathPrefix
        LR_tokens = "{{custom_token}}",
        LR_tokenCustomString = LrPathUtils.removeExtension( photo:getFormattedMetadata( 'fileName' ) ):gsub( "[ %c]", "" ) -- remove spaces and control characters
sesn:doExportOnNewTask()

Hi Friends,
In the Infotype 0002 I am able to observe the Special characters in the First Name & Last Name.

One attribute dimension member contains special character and its getting rejected everytime since planning will not accept special characters in member names/Alias names. Is anything that we can do from planning side to avoid the rejection?. Thanks in advance.Is the application been created in unicode mode?

Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

Hi,
I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
1. The data source for 0VENDOR does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
3. The text for 0VENDOR provides time-dependent, but how to map the valid from and valid to fields?
Handling Special Characters:
We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
Thanks in advance.

LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE WHERE NOT /BIC/ZI_DESC IS INITIAL .
 DO.
 IF DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC CN ALLOWED_CHAR.
 REPLACE SECTION OFFSET SY-FDPOS LENGTH LEN OF
 DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC WITH C_CHAR.
 FLAG = SPACE.
 ELSE.
 FLAG = 'X'.
 ENDIF.
 IF FLAG = 'X'.
 EXIT.
 ENDIF.
 ENDDO.
 MODIFY DATA_PACKAGE.
ENDLOOP.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.

How to handle special characters in Apex

Hi ,
In my application I have two regions - one is Report Region (Interactive Report) and other one is HTML region with two text items - Empno and name
My Report has two columns Empno(varchar2) and Ename(varchar2).
When I click the edit link in the report column, the empno should have a read only EMPNO value and ename is a text field with ENAME value.
When I run my application I have encountered the following problems :
1. if my empno has special characters like ' # ', the characters after that is not getting displayed
2. if my empno has special characters like ',' - the characters after comma is treated as a next texitem value

Edited by: Anoo on Aug 13, 2010 3:05 AM

Don't pass data values in URLs. Whilst it is possible to escape values to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Create a surrogate primary key on the table that is an immutable discrete numeric identifier and only use this as a URL parameter. In target pages/regions, use this PK value to retrieve the required data from the table.

Handling special characters in XML

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10g 'XMLType' datatype to store XML files. Before storing I parse the XML document using Java Xerces Parser. If it parses successfuly, then I perform some business rule execution based on XML file which was parsed. So till this stage there is no problems. But when XML file contains some special characters like copy-paste of some description from MS-Word document into XML tags, then Xerces parser will parse such characters with out any exceptions, but while inserting XML document, Oracle database just throws exception saying unable to handle special characters.. So how to avoid such exceptions or silent such exceptions with any specific settings respect to XMLType datatype in 10g DB.
Please advice!

Monica--
In XI 2.0, we've noticed a number of issues processing special characters, primarily caused by the version of JCO that we're running. It sounds like SAP has spent some time in the past few months focusing on these errors, so make sure you're on the most recent patchlevels of all your middleware components, including any of the middleware libraries that BC uses. In XI, we had to update the 3 files that make up the RFC library and JCO library. SDM couldn't update the libraries for us -- we had to manually move the files to the right place.
Escaped XML characters like "&" """ """ were fixed as of JCO 2.0.10 (the current patchlevel on AIX/UNIX), the special character "'" is fixed in the next release, JCO 2.0.11, due out in a few weeks (hotfixes are available). I don't know the equivalent versions on other platforms. By default, XI 2.0 appears to have shipped with JCO 2.0.5. I would expect many XI 3.0 users to also be affected.
This may or may not apply to BC, because I don't know what BC uses to talk to SAP under the covers.
