Junk Character in French Smartform

I have to type the text 'nos vu0153ux de prompt' in a French language smartform. The output comes as 'nos v#ux de prompt' instead of the one above. How do I make sure the 'u0153' character comes?

Hi,
First you check the device type assigned to the printer to which the document is being printed.
Normally the special character set of a language may not be supported by the device types.
You need to contact the Basis colleagues to make sure that the special characters sets of a language is supported by a specific device type.
To enter the text in a standard text go to SO10 and create a standard text and use it in smartforms by 'Include Text'.
It is always better to embed a text in a standard text and use it in smartforms.
Hope this information is sufficient.
Regards,
Ram

Logo in Smartform output to pdf format is coming as Junk Character

Hi All,
I have a requirement to generate the Smartform output in PDF file. But when i am doing that i am getting the LOGO as Junk character in the PDF file. Can any one help me to resolve this issue?.
Thanks,

Yes check the spool and the output displayed correctly in the spool it means there is a problem when you convert OTF to PDF. Check that part of the code and try different options.

ECC6.0 - PDF issue - Junk Character output after Upgrade from 4.7c

Hi All,
I am working in Uprgade project(from 4.7c Non-unicode system to ECC6.0 unicode system).
We are facing PDF output issue in ECC6.0 that means we are getting junk character output(screenshot is attached for your reference).
In 4.7c , we have stroed the OTF data in table after generated from smartform as we should not get different output in future. Whenever we need output of the same then we are getting the OTF data from that table and we will generate pdf through "Convert_otf" function module.This logic is working fine in 4.7c.
In ECC6.0 ,the same logic is not working as system is unicode sytem and we are getting junk character output.
As per my old upgrade project experience , i have used the below piece of code for solve this junk character issue but still I am facing the same issue.
Kindly note that in my old upgrade project i have regenerated the OTF data in ECC6.0 and used the below piece of code then I got correct output but here I have to use the old OTF data (from table) which was generated in 4.7c.
Please any one can give solution for this issue.

Hi,
as you can see in SAP notes 842767 and 1349413, spool data cannot be converted properly for all types in a Unicode conversion.
This might be possible if you have English (US7ASCII) characters only, but with Chinese characters I do not think that a small piece of code can do it ...
Hence I think you need to recreate the data on the Unicode system ...
Best regards,

Who did you receive that information from? The Safari path in the renderer was only added in 7.02. You can confirm with the Platform Availability Matrix on the Service Marketplace the offically supported browser/release combinations. http://service.sap.com/pam
According to the July 2011 version of the PAM Safari 4 on MacOS 10.5/6 is supported as of 7.02 SP4 and Safari 5 on MacOS 10.5/6 is supported as of 7.02 SP5. There are no additional listings for Safari on any other releases or operating systems.

Arabic letters are displayed as junk character in PDF preview

When we try to view (HFR Financial reports in PDF preview Arabic letters are displayed as junk character. While the same is shown correctly in HTML view.
Oracle EPMA version we are using 11.1.1.3, please provide some solution on this issue

This could help if you are connecting to essbase or planning:
1.Set the ESSLANG environment variable on the Essbase server to
ESSLANG= Arabic - Saudi Arabia (ISO)@Binary
2. In Financial Reporting, you must use the Essbase APS ADM driver rather then the Essbase Native ADM driver. Set the driver in \Hyperion\products\biplus\lib\fr_global.properties by setting the parameter
UseEssbaseEDS=1
3. In \Hyperion\products\biplus\lib\fr.env, set the ESSLANG environment variable as follows:
ESSLANG= Arabic - Saudi Arabia (ISO)@Binary
4. Re-start the Essbase and Financial Reporting services.

Problem with SQL Convert Function Junk Character

Hi All,
We have a database field that has a value of “2.020 OPERATOE’S CAB – GLASSES” on the front end of Oracle E-Business Suite. When we are spooling that column(in PLSQL) with the SQL covert function , one of the characters(’) in the string is not getting converted properly. It is displayed as a junk character in the spooled file.
We used CONVERT(p_column,'WE8ISO8859P1','UTF8') for converting the string and utl_file api for spooling the output file. Please note that converted string is passed to utl_file.fopen directly.
Following are the nls_parameters values.
NLS_CHARACTERSET ~~ UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET ~~ AL16UTF16
Any inputs are welcome.
Thanks

Showing junk character

Dear all,
I am using oracle9i. I got the export from one place and tried to import in my database. Both the source and destination database character set is WE8IS08859PI. After importing the data, i tried to pull the data in the excel. One of the field is varchar2(2000) and it contains new line character. When i open the data in TOAD, it shows correctly. But when i pull in excel or any other front end, it is showing as a junk character(square box) for new line chatacter. New line character is suppressed and displaying new line character as square box(junk character). How do we resolve the issue?

try a search and replace within Excel on the junk character to replace it with ''.
cheers,

Junk Character like "#" comes in the Project & WBS desc.....

Dear all,
When we transfer and release the project from C-projects module to PS,
then sometime, a junk character like "#" gets appended to the Project &
WBS description, when we retrive the Project in CJ20N. This junk
character creates a lot of problems in the reports, specially, when it
is exported to excel. due to this, all columns gets shifted in the
excel. After a lot of simulation, we found that if we unintentionally
give some spaces in the c-project description, then the junk character
gets appended to the PS description. What is the remedy ?? what should
be done to avoid this ???
Can any of you advise on this?
Thanks,
Kumar

Can you let us know exactly what is stored in the database?
What is the data type? Will you be able to paste the content of the cell that you are referring to?
What front end you are using?

Dear Kumar;
This was also happening to me while uploading Project and WBS from Excel file.
Remedy: for Description Column, copy and paste it on a sperate excel sheet, and apply Trim fromula to erase extra spaces in the begining and end of field.
Now save that 2nd sheet with only description column as text TAB format from excel. and close the file.
Now open that text tab file in excel and copy and p[aste this description column to original Upload file.
This will resolve your issue.

Dynamic character format in SMARTFORMS

Dear Gurus,
I want to make a dynamic character format in smartforms. I did it in SAPscript and success.
what I did in program before passing to smartform :
d_note = '<XX> dynamic text </>'
and pass it to SAPscript and smartforms :
&d_note&
in SAPscript I made new character format XX as BOLD and UNDERLINED. it works for SAPscript. the output become = dynamic txt
unfortunately when I do this in smartforms, it is a fail although I have set new character format XX as bold and underline in smartstyles. the output become = <XX> dynamic text </>
any guru has a solution for this smartform?

Hi Sendy,
You cant use tags (eg- <XX>) in smartfomrs like you did in sap scripts. Use your style in the smartform( form attributes) with all character formats and paragraph formats which you need. When you create a new text module in the smartform you will get two drop down lists for the paragraph formats and character formats in the top of the editor. Type your text there and highlight then choose 'XX'(or any other character format) character format from the drop down list.
Hope this would help.
Cheers,
Jeewana

Junk Character displayed when language is Japanese

Hi,
I have one PG1where there is a a textbox for additional information input.Now after putting the Additional text there and when user click OK then it comes to PG2 and that information is populated in certain text area.
This is for your information that the text is coming from PG1 to PG2 through hashmap. Now here the issue is when we are putting text n PG1 with some different language other than english like Japanese then the text in PG2 coming as '?????'.(junk character).
Can you please let me know how to handle this ?
Thanks
Debashree

These might help
For NLS Customers, if after submitting a page you get garbage characters then you need to install OJSP1.1.2.
Please check release notes accompanying your OA Framework patchset, and Metalink Note 132604.1 for more details.
or try adding unicode char set
Add the following line to apps.conf.
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType "text/html; charset=us7ascii" html

Junk Character

Hi
we recently migrated from oracle 8i to oracle 10g.
now i am getting junk character Â instead of space.
it goes like this.
when i enter my first name from application and put one space in front.
it gets saved al rite in application but in database it gets saved as.. for example, GeorgeÂ
entered name : George
Database Save : GeorgeÂ
Please sugegst why it is coming like this? is this DB server issue or oracle DB issue.

Try the following code to remove the junk code
ascii values 32 to 126 are key board values. I have considered the remaining are junks
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure oracle_junk_remove
As
Len Number;
v_ascii_value number;
Begin
For i in
( select column1 from test1 )
Loop
len := Length(i.column1);
For j in 1..len
Loop
select ascii(substr(i.column1,j,1)) into v_ascii_value from dual;
If v_ascii_value < 32 OR v_ascii_value > 126 then
dbms_output.put_line('The junk value is ' || substr(i.column1,j,1));
update test1 set column1 = replace(column1,substr(i.column1,j,1),'');
commit;
End if;
End Loop;
End Loop;
End;
