Japanies characters are converting to # in output file in open dataset

Hi Experts,
I am trying to transfer data from my internal table to application server. When i use
Open Dataset e_file for output in text mode encoding NON-UNICODE ignoring convertion errors.
All Japanies and chines characters(double byte characters) are converting to "#" in output file. I have used set locale language commend also.Still same problem is there.
Could you please any one help me on this.
Thanks

hi
problem exporting text in hebrew
Similar kind of problem has been solved here.. check that link first
Use the class CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE and use it to convert file from unicode to ascii.
After that you should call OPEN DATASET IN LEGACY MODE and write the file.
you have to find the Code Page format for japanese here..
Is your system Unicode enables, if not please check whether you have japanese installed on your system.
Run the program RSCINST in SE38 which throws a pop up if u work on a Unicode system and also shows what are the language packs currently installed on ur system.... if u dont have Japanese installed then u need to contact Basis People for installion of that language pack

File transfer Open dataset CSV file Problem

Hi Experts,

I have tried
open dataset c_file for output LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '4103'.
open dataset c_file for output    in TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
open dataset c_file for output    in TEXT MODE ENCODING Default.
Nothing is working.

Hi,
I would recommend to use OPEN DATASET ... ENCODING UTF-8 ...
If your excel version is unable to open this format, you can convert from 4110 to 4103 with report RSCP_CONVERT_FILE.
Please also have a look at
File upload: Special character

Problem in accessing application server file using open dataset

Hi All,
I am trying to access application server file using open dataset command, its working fine for normal path which imention. But when i am giving path of XI server file, its not working. How to access XI server file using open dataset. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
You need to verify if the location where you are trying to save the file is in the same server of SAP. In case that the location is in other server you need to map that directy into the same server of SAP.
You need to point always to a location in the same server of SAP, in order that the open dataset could work.

Download file using open dataset

Hi all,
I download a .CSV file to sap server using open dataset. I have a column which stores a number with length upto 30 char. I get the output in this format '2.34234E+25' for '23423423423423400000000000' in that particular column.
Please send your suggestions to solve this issue.
Rajesh.

Do you want to use the csv file in Excel or in another application.
If you display the CSV file created by open dataset using Notepad, you will probably see the 30 digit number. This is fine for many applications, but not Excel!
Excel cannot store a 30 digit number internally. Try entering a 30 digit number into an Excel cell and see what happens - it is converted to scientific format with only 14 decimal places.
If you need to see the number in Excel, you need to have it displayed as Text and not a number. There are a few options:
1. Put a character at the start of the field
2. Don't use CSV, but use OLE to start Excel and put the data in the cell with text format (complicated I know).
3. Save as a file with a .txt extension, open in Excel, and in the Text import wizard (step 3) specify that the column data format is Text

Unicode file formats ( open dataset)

Hi,
We are sending Unicode file with encoding as UTF-8( open dataset) containing Greek character to Legacy system. Legacy system( Sql server) is not able to understand this file format. As a workaround legacy side team coverts the file to Unicode UCS-2 using notepad ( by selecting encoding option as Unicode) and then uploading it to SQL server..
Is there anyway to convert the UTF-8 file to other Unicode file format ( say UCS-2 )within SAP or generate the desired file format.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the help!!!
I tried to convert the file format from UTF-8 to UCS-2 using the methods of the class mentioned but it didn't fulfill my requirement. I have Greek character in UTF-8 format and when I convert it to any other other format then Greek character are displayed as #.
Problem is legacy SQL server don't support UTF-8 format. I tried open data set with binary mode & also legacy text mode with all available code pages but result were not fruitful.
( Program RSCP_CONVERT_FILE to convert code page - I used target code page as all possible UTF* , UCD* & Greek code page but no luck ).
I am just wondering whether SAP can convert UTF-8 to UCS-2 or not. Other option I am thinking is to have the file converted by Unix script that is application server external command which can be executed via FTP.

Create Tab-delimited text file with OPEN DATASET

Hi everyone,
My problem goes like this: the text file that I am writing using OPEN DATASET needs to be tab-delimited. Originally the file was to be delimited using the pipe ( '|' ) character.
I read in one of the threads that to put in tab delimiters you need to use something like this:
DATA v_tab TYPE x value '09'.
CONCATENATE wa-field1 wa-field2
INTO wa_output SEPARATED BY v_tab.
I also encountered the same problem, the error that I can't concatenate the v_tab with the other fields.
What, therefore, is the correct way to declare the fields to be used?
Thanks.

Try this. It worked for me:
class cl_abap_char_utilities definition load.
constants:
tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Problem in file format OPEN DATASET

Hi all,

In one of the programs OPEN dataset statement is being used to download the file to unix server, but when i run the same program in ECC6.0 version an try to opn in notepad the same file it is coming in single line (i.e end of line delimiter is being ignored.)
Hence I tried using WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED addition
it is displayed correctlyin notepad but when i see thru

the delimiter which i have used here is

Non ASCII characters are converted to '?' or ASCII characters

Non ASCII symbols like æ ø in the xml file have been converted to ? or other ascii characters.
What could be the reason behind this.

Mayil wrote:
This file we are loading through the Flex application in the front end.
Through java class file we are making changes to this city.xml file and adding and deleting this information in the city.xml.
Now suddenly, i dont know what happen.. 'ø' in the city name has replaced with the '?'
If we try to chaange this to 'ø' also, it again changes to '?'.
I dont know how to rectify this error.I would suggest you start by finding out when it happens. Does it happen as soon as you change the XML through this mysterious "java class file"? Or does it happen when Flex reads it? And is the underlying file actually changing, or are you just seeing those question marks after Flex handles the file?
In short a much better problem description is necessary.

Junk characters are displayed in report output

Hi Gurus,
We are facing an issue while generating a report developed in Oracle 10g, while fetching the data in one column the report is displaying junk characters although while running the query on the database the value is coming correct for the same column. We are writing the report data on the AIX and with the help of WEBUTIL the reports gets transferred on the client machine which is having windows XP as operating system. Although we have many reports running on the same concepts but only in this particular report the issue is coming.
Our AS Version is 10.1.2.3.0
OS Version is AIX 5.3
Please provide some solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pradip

Hi Roberto,
Thanks for your reply.
As per your suggestion , I had checked with both DB & AS both are same i.e.
In DB it displays the value AMERICAN and for AS it displays NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
Please give some idea. Sometimes this report gives the right output and sometimes gives output having one column with junk character of CSV file.

Pradip

Shell Script -french characters are converting to junk in PLSQL

When i compile this package from SQL Developr it is compiling properly.
but when i run shell script from putty and try to comppile this package the package is errorring out.
The reason for error out is it is converting few french characters into some junk characters. is there any setting for this.?

BharatYour problems are in the are called globalization ( was called NLS)
This can cause many problems, and is it extremely common for systems/applications/databases not be set up properly.
Your script in SQLDeveloper is probably being held in the UTF8 characterset .... though I emphasize probably, and your file is probably saved as such.
The oracle database, in whatever characterset that is in, let us call it CHARSET-DB, has however probably determined your sqlplus client is running a different characterset CHARSET-CLI and will perform a conversion from CHARSET-CLI to CHARSET-DB.
Obviously if the Oracle Database has been led to falsely identify CHARSET-CLI then unwanted conversions can take place, however usually most (all?) charactersets are the same for most/all of 7-bit ASCII characters, so it is only things outside this that get affected. e.g. £, é, ó and lots of others.
From a linux viewpoint the locale command and "LC*" variables may exert influence. However from an Oracle Client perspective the NLS_LANG variable is more effective.
I suspect setting your NLS_LANG to UTF8 (e.g. NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 ) and locale to US.UTF-8 or similar is likely to solve your issue.
See below for a good document from OTN and a more specialist forum for this problem ( though there are some you use this forum who may be able to help you as well)

SWF movies are not animated when the file's opened directly.

Firstly, although I've been using Flash on and off for years (since CS3) I don't use it very often so I apologise if my issue seems simplistic!
Basically, I used Flash CS3 for a few years to create basic animations for clients, involving simple scrolling text, without any problems. Recently I upgraded to the CS4 Master Suite and then CS5 Master Suite within a couple of days of each other and I now need to use Flash to make a change to an old animation. When I opened the CS3 file it appears as expected and I made the changes to the text (changing a word or two within a line of type).
When I right clicked on the type relevant frames within the timeline I noticed that there is now more than one version of tween available, and that classic tween was already selected (I think I better buy a new teach yourself Flash CS5 book!)
Anyway, that was allI needed to do so I initially pressed return and the text scrolled across the stage as expected. But when I clicked on CONTROL / TEST MOVIE / TEST (or cmd+Return on my Mac) the SWF file that appears is static and the text does not scroll at all. If I publish the movie using Actionscript 3 or 2 the resulting SWF file is also totally static. But if I drop the SWF file into the relevant website folder and view it through Dreamweaver's browser view facility it works perfectly and scrolls just as expected. Equally, opening it using the Opera browser works too.
I've tried altering the CS3 file and testing the movie in Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 but the same thing happens. It's a bit time wasting and inefficient wanting to test an animation as a SWF file by double clicking on it and only being shown a static image. Is this a well known problem as I couldn't find any mention of it during my search?
Thanks for reading and I'd really appreciate help resolving this issue.

Update:
I downloaded the newest Flash Player and double clicked the problematic swf file again. I was a bit surprised to see Flash CS5 start up and display the floating test window with the problematic static animation as before. I closed Flash CS5, right clicked on the swf file and chose "Open With Flash Player". The animation opened in the new Flash Player and was working fine.
So it appears that only Flash CS5 and CS4 are having the issue playing the test movie that was created in the very same program?
