Junk characters appearing

hi folks,
Junk characters appearing in the text file when the korean language is downloaded from the sap internal table.
please help to resolve this.
Regards,
Rohan.

Hi Rohan,
Can you debug and check if the junk characters are appearing in the internal tables at runtime?
It could be possible that your output file, when opened with Notepad or Word, does not recognise the Korean language characters.
Please do revert back if this isn't the case...
Cheers,
Shailesh.

When converting report to PDF, Russian characters appears as junk in adobe

Dear all,
When generating reports (ver 6.0.8.14.2) with Russain characters, after coverting the report to pdf, all the Russian characters appears as junk in the adobe acrobat reader. Please help how to resolve this issue.
Note: Initially in the report I used arial font and the report runtime preview displayed all Russain characters as junk, but when I use the MS sans serif font all the russain characters appears properly in the reports runtime preview.
Question: HOW TO DISPLAY RUSSIAN CHARACTERS PROPERLY IN PDF

Binu

Hi Sriman.
Thank you for the reply, but that does not solve my problem. I know that there is a size A4 210x297 mm, but i cannot use that as i have to use the other one only.
It is very surprising, that i dont have that option in WAD while designing, but get that option when i execute the query.
I guess i will have to post it to SAP, so they can create a note for this.

Maybe you check the NLS_LANGUAGE-settings on the client where you "edit" the reports-definition.

Junk characters coming in the PDF report for Lithuanian language

hi all,
I am facing a problem like some junk characters are coming while generating the report in PDF format in Reports 10g.
Junk characters (i.e something like revere of ?(question mark)) coming only for the special characters in the report when my application language set it as LITHUANIAN_LITHUANIA.UTF8.
Actually our application is supporting multi langauges; like English, German, French, Lithuania etc.
And in the Forms the the characters are appearing correctly... but while generating reports only i am having this issue for LITHUANIAN language.
I am using back end as Oracle 10g verision 2, and front as Reports 10g only.
Is there any way to resolve it?
thanks in advance
renjish

Hi,
I updated the reports.sh which is in Oracle Home path initailly and tried the report. But its not coming properly, some other junk characters are appearing now for the special characters
For e.g:
Actual English word: Funct. Group Poultry Parts Fresh
Correct Lithuanian Word: Funct. Grupė naminių paukščių dalių, šviežios
In Report: Funct. GrupÄ— naminiÅ³ paukÅ¡Ä•iÅ³ daliÅ³, Å¡vieÅ¾ios
Steps i have done:
1. Modified reports.sh with nls_lang as LITHUANIAN_LITHUANIA.UTF8
2. Run the report, output was coming like above e.g.
Is anything wrong what i did?.
or Report engine(reports.sh) will support multi-languages by using the Environment ID only(as you explained before, putting ENVID in repserver.conf - reportserver.)
thanks
renjish

[4.0] Junk characters in TNS list

Hi All,
first of all let me thank all the developers that worked on SQL Developer (especially the fourth version), because it is a great product, improving continuously!
The (small) problem I have on SQL Developer 4.0 is that it shows me junk characters before the first connection I have in tnsnames.ora.
For example, if I have in tnsnames.ora:
FAKE=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
      (PROTOCOL=TCP)
      (HOST=127.0.0.1)
      (PORT=9999)
    (CONNECT_DATA=
      (SERVER=dedicated)
      (SID=FAKE)
REAL=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
      (PROTOCOL=TCP)
      (HOST=127.0.0.1)
      (PORT=9999)
    (CONNECT_DATA=
      (SERVER=dedicated)
      (SID=REAL)
In the dropdown list of the New Connection window, instead of showing me:
FAKE
REAL
It shows something like (they are strange character I don't have in my keyboard):
ì>?FAKE
REAL
Has anybody experienced the same problem? I have Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for answering, unfortunately I did not well specified the situation, but I don't have any character at the beginning, it's the first thing I checked
I have even tried several solutions, like leaving or removing the stardard comment at the beginning:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: Oracle Client Path\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
But it makes no difference.
Anyway I checked an ASCII map and the characters that appear are ï»¿
ASCII numbers: 139, 175 and 168
The file is Dos\Windows format and charset is UTF-8 (this is what Notepad++ says).
My keyboard is Italian (but I don't think it makes no difference) and I have modified the language of SQL Developer adding:
AddVMOption -Duser.language=en
AddVMOption -Duser.country=US
Into the sqldeveloper.conf file. But I already checked this too and it makes no difference to remove them (having SQL Developer in Italian as the OS)
Any idea?

Junk characters displayed when viewing BEx query through WAD

Hello,
I am trying to display the results of a web report containing a BEx query through the "Execute in the Browser" option in WAD. But, junk Chinese characters keep showing up in the display. Also, if I try the same with one of the older web reports, they display fine. But, the moment I make a copy of these and execute without any modifications, the junk characters show up again.
I tried executing through RSRT and there my report works perfectly. So, what could be going wrong or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!
Menaz

Thanks Emma.
We figured it was related to the Unicode charset while I was going through the source code. I don't think there is any permanent fix yet. But, I followed the posting below and am trying to temporarily fix the error:
Web Application Designer Appearing in Unicode (UTF-8)
Thank you!

Bitmap reports(Junk characters)

Report Gurus,
Whenever I am converting a character mode report to bitmap, I end up with lot of junk characters in the report output. And at most of the times I've to manually play around with the fonts of the layout and after lot of hit & trial's the output appears. Can anyone shed some light on why does this happen? Why does the output turn into junk if one is converting a character mode report to bitmap? I am running the reports in Oracle Application's framework, does that have anything to do with this?
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
there's no direct support for the format triggers out of Oracle Reports. Therefore they are mentioned in the log file and in the created layout after conversion the objects with format triggers are colored red to show, that there you had to do some additional work.
Currently you had to built the logic of format triggers in BI Publisher new. Hve a look in the User Guide, there are some examples for if or choose statements.

Junk characters like" � � "displayed in the jsp page please help.

Hi,
I am getting junk characters like � � displayed in the jsp page.
In the JSP page i used javascript "& nbsp" for appending spaces to a string "CCR" to get "CCR " .
Now the Resultant string "CCR " has three spaces appended to its right.
This String is set in session in that JSP page.
In the next JSP page i am getting that string from session.
After getting the string the "substring" function is performed to get only the first 5 charcters of the string. Now the result is displayed as " CCR� � " with has last 2 characters as junk values � � insteed of displaying as "CCR ". Please help me in solving this issue.
Please note that initially the sting "CCR" is got from the Oracle database in Solaris Machine.
Regards,
Vijay

have you tried:
strenuously inspecting the string that is coming from the db? do an actual loop over the string, character by character, dumping to System.out to make sure the characters are EXACT coming out of the db.
note you have to append " " not just "& nbsp"
post the code that is doing the output. the relevant bean code, the jsp, everything relevant - WITH COMMENTS discussing where things are happening.
Also, is it "weird characters" in the browser only? have you done a view source on the actual html source that the browser is rendering (right click in IE and click view source). browsers can act odd if you don't feed then exactly what they want, and it looks like you're feeding it escaped characters that it is rendering as something else.

Junk characters in data transfer Program

Hello ABAP gurus,
i am facing the problem in an custmom made ABAP Interface program. the program has an option of downloading the files in local system(Windows system) and in Unix system (AL11). when i dwnload the files locally and feed that file to a CRM system, the CRM processes the file correctly but in case if we schedule a job then the CRM reads the file from Unix system and generates an error showing the junk characters for the special european characters. please request you guys to help me in this regard.

Hi,
When you download the file locally are able to see the junk character in the file.
Logon on to the unix system and check the file content there and if any junk characters are there, usually when we upload the file then you will have those junk character being populated at the end of the record, open the file in unix and then remove those characters and reprocess that again, it will get through.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Junk Characters in the output XML file after Parsing

Hi
I am using DOM parser to parse an XML file.
After parsing the input XML file, i am fetching some contents
from the same and also putting the same contents in the parsed output file which is also an XML file.
The problem here is that the after putting the contents to the output XML file from the input XML file,
some junk character appears at the end of each and every tag in the outputfile.
The junk character is some thing like this : " ampersand hash thirteen and a semicolon "
(*THE MESSAGE DID NOT ACCEPT THE SYMBOLS KINDLY TRANSLATE THE ABOVE WORDINGS*
INTO SYMBOLS)
This character gets appended at the end of each and every tag in the output file due to which the output file
is not recognised as an XML file.
Please let me know as to why is this character appearing and also please suggest some solution
for the same.
-Thanks in Advance.
