Multibyte characters not displaying on report

Hi there,
I am having a problem displaying multibyte characters on my report (Oracle reports 6i). These characters are needed for barcode encoding. e.g chr(203) . But when I run my report they are missing.
Also when I do the following sql in oracle11g (the version of the db the report is working against) :-
select chr(203) from dual;
I get the error :-
ORA-29275: partial multibyte character
though it works fine for oracle 8.
Any help much appreciated.

Everything depends on your NLS parameters. If I do this on Oracle 11g I get:
select chr(203) from dual;

Text data is not displaying at Report level for an Infoobject Item name

Hi All,
Texts data is maintained at Info object level but text information is not displaying at Report level for an object. I have set the property at query level as "Text", but at report level it is displaying key values of the object, not displaying texts information. This problem occured in QA(Quality) system but not replicated in Production system. I have checked all properties at backend and query level and compared the same between QA and Production system didn't find any difference.
Please suggest what might be the cause: at report level it is displaying key values instead of the textual information even text data is mainintained at backend. In production it is displaying textal data for the IO.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks for your valuable information. I have changed the setting under Advanced tab as "Master data" for Access type for results values, but didn't solved the problem still it showing key information for the IO.
In Production system the report displaying texts information for the IO, but in QA its displaying key information. The problem exits only in QA, its working fine in DEv and Production.
As per my understanding might be the issue with Patches will be checking with Basis team on the same.
Please suggest if you have any alternatives to fix the issue.

Chinese and Korean characters not displaying in navigation pane

I have an issue with Chinese and Korean characters not displaying on the tabs in the navigation pane:
I have 2 RoboHelp projects (using RoboHelp 8 with the updates installed) to generate WebHelp, one in Simplified Chinese, the other Korean. The HTML files, .HHC and .HHK were sent out for translations. I have set the appropriate language in the project settings, everything almost works, except for the text on the Contents, Index, and Search tabs. (I'm not using a skin.) I have read in various threads that the lng file should be edited using the RoboHelp interface, and this seems to be the crux of the problem. The characters do not display correctly through the RoboHelp UI.
The computer on which I generate the WebHelp is Windows Server 2003, and I do not have the language packs installed. (And am having problems getting hold of the language packs to install to see if this fixes the problem.)
Aside from installing the language packs, is there anything else I can try to help resolve the problem? (The characters in the content are displaying as expected.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Perhaps something in the Translation Info section of this page might help? (The specifics are for Japanese, but I believe the issue would apply to all double-byte languages).

Problems with Turkish characters not displaying correctly

A user is having problems with certain Turkish characters in particular fonts not displaying correctly (as shown below).
The two fonts (Gill Sans and Helvetica LT CondensedLight) are used for English language marketing material. Ideally, for continuity, the same font would be preferred for our Turkish language marketing material rather than changing it to a similar font.
Helvetica LT CondensedLight
Turkish character “ İ ” does not display correctly in either Word or InDesign.
Gill Sans
Turkish characters “ ş ” and “ ğ ” display correctly in Word but not InDesign.
My questions are:
1. For Gill Sans, why are the characters not displaying in InDesign but are in Word?
2. I've noticed here: http://www.webtype.com/font/gill-sans-family/#glyphs-tab that the required characters are available within the Gill Sans font. Is this because the font is newer and includes the additional characters? Would this work in InDesign?

One of the big differences between InDesign and Word is that Word will happily substitute glyphs without telling you. So, unless your installs of Word and of InDesign are using different versions of Gill Sans (which is possible, BTW) then your s-with-cedilla and your g-with-macron are actually not in Gill Sans but in some other font. I'm guessing Arial.
It's possible that you have more than one Gill Sans installed (e.g. one in your Document Fonts folder and another in your system fonts folder) that have different glyph complements. Gill Sans has been around a long time, and the version I have from the 90s has no Turkish support whatsoever.
As far as the capital-I-with-dot, you can check your glyph coverage in a variety of ways. In both InDesign and Word, you can open up a window that shows you all of the glyphs in a font. In InDesign, find it in Type -> Glyphs. In Word, it's called "Insert Symbol" and you can find it in Word 2010 by going to Insert -> Symbol -> More Symbols. I am guessing that the answer to this question is simply that your cut of Helvetica LT has no cap-I-with-dot. You'd need to pick a font that actually has support for Turkish. On WIndows, I use a very full-featured freebie called BabelMap to check font coverage. They have a Web version here:
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/babelmap.html
but I personally prefer the downloadable .exe file.

Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
Chris

They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

Formula not displaying in report

Hi ,
I have used the NODIM data function in my formula and now the report is not displaying the formula column in report in first screen. I have to select the filter value from structure.
I have already made the formula as Always show , still its not displaying.
I have tried creating the CKF and that too is not displaying in report in first screen. I always have to select it from filter.
What could be the reason..? Are there any query setting I am missing..?
When I use the KF , it is displaying properly.
Please help.

HI,
AS YOU SAID U R CREATING FORMULA USING NODIM FUNCTION IF U R CREATING AT INFOPROVIDER LEVEL THAT IS CALULATED KEY FIGURE , AFTER CREATING CKF U JUST DRAG CREATED CKF TO COLUMNS AREA AND SAVE AND EXECUTE, ITS DISPLAYS THE KEYFIGURES. U ARE JUST CREATING FORMULA FOR KEYFIGURE NOT CHARACTERISTIC SO NOT THOUGHT OF FILTERS.
HOPE THIS HELPS .

AFTER LOADING THE DATA INTO THE INFOCUBE IT SHOULD NOT DISPLAY IN REPORTING

Hi experts,
I have the data in infocube. When i selected the cube in reporting it should not display i.e; the data should not display in reporting.
thanks nd regards,
venkat

Bit strange requirement. But if you have data in Cube and automatically its will be available for Reporting. unlike ODS, we do not have option of "Automatic request activation".
However on repoeting side, you can restrict the values to # and exclude everything from slection. But not good solution as such.

The pdf chinese characters not display (11G WLS_PERORTS)

My Database:TRADITIONAL CHINESE_TAIWAN.AL32UTF8
Environment:xp
According to:http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24269_01/doc.11120/e24479/pbr_pdf002.htm#BABCCEAB

.....AL32UTF8 = "MSungStd-Light-Acro"
But the pdf chinese characters not display,Why??
http://ppt.cc/h-Tx

kindly, make sure that you add the font path into your FORMS_PATH in regestery (if you are using windows) also put your font mapping ubder [ PDF:Subset ]
for example:
[ PDF:Subset ]
times = "Barcd39.ttf"
Arial..italic.Bold.. = "arialbi.ttf"
Arial..italic... = "ariali.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "arialbd.ttf"
Arial = "arial.ttf"
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"Arabic Transparent"="artro.ttf"

Foreign characters not displaying

Hi... I am developing a web app that includes a database of world cities, many of which have foreign characters in their names. The MySQL database is displaying the characters correctly, but when it comes to displaying them in drop down menus, the foreign characters are displayed as blank boxes.
The application is a J2EE Java app.
In the index.jsp file, in the html section, I have specified various types of character sets, including the standard iso-8859-1 and utf-8, but none make a difference.
The home page with the drop-down menus is at www.your-astrology-report.com/index.jsp. From the pull-down menus, select "International", then "Greece", then "NON-ENGLISH FIRST LETTERS" and you'll see what I mean.
The database code that puts the city names into the drop down menu is as follows, although as a fragment, it's incomplete.
try{
     out.print("<select name='city'>");
     out.println("<option value='0'>Select Birth Town - Check Region!</option>");
     if(letter.equals("?")){
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city NOT RLIKE '^[A-Z]' order by city";
     } else {
          q="select * from "+regid+" where country='"+country+"' AND city LIKE '"+letter+"%' order by city";//city begins with letter
     ResultSet rst=execute_sql_query(q);
     int count=0;
     while(rst.next()){
          out.println("<option value='"+count+"'>"+rst.getString("city")+" - "+rst.getString("subdiv")+" "+SubDiv+"</option>");
          count++;
     out.println("</select>");
I am very new to Java.
Is there some basic way of telling either the query and/or the out.print statement to get, preserve, and display these foreign characters correctly?
Please keep it simple! Like I said, I'm new to all this, and most of the Google queries I've made to try to figure this out have been gobble-de-gook to me! LOL!
Thanks,
Fartian

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. So far, I'm sorry to say, none of your suggestions have helped, though.
I suspect, though, that the reply concerning character streams (PaulClapham) holds the answer. I just don't know how to implement this in my case, i.e. how to apply this to the out.println statements in the previously given code block. My experience with Java is limited. Any ideas?
I should probably tell you how all this is structured in terms of one file calling another:
First we have the index.jsp (www.your-astrology-report.com/index.htm), which has dynamic input fields, the one in question being this:
<td colspan="2"><div id="cities"><select name="city"><option value="">Select City</option></select></div></td>
      <td colspan="2">Select First Letter of City First!</td>div id="cities" refers to a function in a second file, xmlhttp.jsp, which is called by the dynamic input field located just above the "cities" field.
Here is the function:
function handleCityU(regid_letter_country){
     document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML="Loading cities...";
     url="internal_requestU2.jsp?regid_letter_country="+regid_letter_country.value;
     var xmlhttp=myXMLHttpRequest();
     xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
     xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
          if(xmlhttp.readyState!=4)return;
          document.getElementById("cities").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
     xmlhttp.send(null);
}This function passes the variable "regid_letter_country.value" to yet another file that then parses the variable, requests the required database data, and creates the out.println statements that then populate the dynamic pull-down menu that displays the cities in the original index.jsp file.
THIS IS WHERE I NEED IT TO BE DISPLAYING INTERNATIONAL CHARACTERS. The code for this part is what I originally posted.
Help!
Many thanks...

Special French characters not displaying properly

Hi:
I am using Weblogic 9.2, struts 1.2, JDOM,and ejb.
I read special characters from the properties files using struts but when I assigned it to xml tags(JDOM elements) it is not showing properly in the xml tags.
          Element header = new Element("header");
          while(elementListItor.hasNext())
               Element child = (Element)elementListItor.next();
               String name = child.getName();
               header.addContent(new Element(name).setText("Montant pay?", name)));
               i++;
Yours,
Desperate.

Hello,
If you are displaying the report output as a PDF output then you need to make sure that:
-NLS_LANG is set to French
-the fonts used in the report are installed on the PC
-the characters are stored correctly in the database
-PDF subset is configured

Chinese characters not displayed in Bex Analyzer

Chinese characters in a BI report display fine in Bex Web, but not in Bex Analyzer (Excel). Not sure if this is a NW2004s issue, or just an excel config issue. Is this a known issue?

The problem is fonts. Are you setting a specific font for your dialog? If not, this is a JRE bug. Regardless, you can display the Chinese if you set the font for the dialog using a font that you know contains Chinese glyphs.

Complete data not displayed in Report

Hi forum,
I have a cube based on data source 0FI_AR_4,which is updated via an ODS.I have created a query for ageging analysis.The query uses Referrence number ( invoice number) to display the receivables of various customers and number of days from due date.
To my surprise many invoice numbers are not being displayed in the query, but when i restrict the query to the invoice numbers which are not being displayed the report generated is able to display all the doccuments.
I have checked the data in the cube and all the invoice numbers are flowing well fro R/3.
My only way of saying thanks to the people who solve the issue or provide helpful answers is by assigining points.

Suhel

hello
This is simple problem
The result the query fetches is not able to display in the number of cells provided in the excel sheet
So when you restrict the data, the query is able to show all the data fetched by accomadating in the columns available in the excel.
Here in your case , there are not enough columns in the excel sheet to display all data
