English and Chinese characters in a FIle

Hi,
I need to read a file from application server and create a idoc with that data. But, the File may sometime contain a mix of English and Chinese Characters as below.
File at application server is as below format:
#####û´##û³##úÊ##þÎñÓ#######MR###õ###########ø°####ò²#####7588##7590##200000
The file has six fix fields separated by ''. But when I move these fields in six variables, in 4th variable the value comes as '#õ###########ø°####ò²#####7588##7590##' instead of only '#õ' (it takes value of 5th variable also) and then the rest of fields get misplaced.
Any idea about this problem?
Please note that My system in SAP 4.6.
Thanks.

Hi..
Probably is caused by the 2bytes consume of chinese characters, have you tried to temporarly delete those chinese characters from the input data and see what happen?..
Hope to help...

Support for English and Spanish Characters

I have created a database with character set WE8iso8859P1. Some of my tables that I imported from MS Access Database using ODBC contain English as well as Spanish characters. When I select the same from the database I just get ? for the non-English characters. What should I do to see the Spanish characters as well?

In the timeline, next to the audio (on the left) is a small drop down box which lets you set the language for the track. You'll see 'En' in both of them at the moment, and you need to change the Spanish one to be for Spanish. You should then be able to complete the build.

Oracle Reports 6.x and Oracle Express Server

What are the benefits of using Oracle Reports in conjunction with Oracle Express Server? We are currently using OFA for planning and forecasting, and are evaluating Oracle Reports as a tool to produce and publish key financial reports for a large user community. Is there any benefit in using Oracle Reports rather than just creating and publishing the reports directly within OFA?
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
we tried to use Reports 6i with Express server. There were many troubles.
1. It is very hard task to establish connection Reports/Express
2. It is not possible to enter parameters for the reports
3.There are limitation on the number of dimensions in the report

R12 and Oracle Reports

R12 customer running Oracle Reports 10.1.2.0.2
They upgraded E-Business Suite from R12.0.4 to R12 Fin RUP5 and their Oracle Reports started to fail with:
REP-1416: 'beforereport': User exit 'FND'. APP-FND-00005
The customer was advised to upgrade to Oracle Reports 10.1.2.2.0 and the problem went away. R12 documentation does not indicate that 10.1.2.2.0 is a pre-req. Can someone assist with the following questions:
1. Is 10.1.2.0.2 an old version that customers should not use?
2. What is the latest version of Oracle Reports?
3. Should we advise our R12 customers to upgrade to 10.1.2.2.0 or later?
Thank you,
Chris Cianciolo

Chris,

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

Entering and Displaying English and chinese

We are running Oracle 8i on a w2k server and have w2k clients
configured to enter and view English, Simplified and Traditonal
Chinese. Oracle is setup with UTF8. We atn to be able to enter
and display both english and chinese characters simultaneous in
the forms as we enter data as well as in reports. Everything is
done in Oracle forms/reports 6. I have tried various nls
settings but nothing seems to work to provide both entry and
viewing of the characters as well as providing properly
formatted reports.
Jim Liddil

I also have a customer that is having a similar problem. The
general issue is that the customer wants to use Win2000 in
English but within a Forms 6.0 application fill in certain fields
with Simplified Chinese characters. I think they had difficulty
getting it to work even if the default is all Chinese, that is
both the Windows locale default and the NLS settings. We're
mostly beyond that but the real goal is to allow the user to run
in English (but with language supplement support available for
Chinese) then when the user hits the appropriate fields in the
application he toggles to a Chinese characters to input. So we
can't seem to find the right combination of NLS settings,
patches, etc. that would support this.
At one point we apparently were able to have the application
accepting the Chinese characters but to do so meant that many of
the Oracle Forms default menu items, dialogue buttons and
message bar were displayed in Chinese.
The simplest explanation: allow to run Forms 6 app in English.
Allow storing of Chinese characters into fields at the will
of the user. Database stores characters correctly. Application
(Forms) echoes characters correctly , not ???? or boxes .
We need to have a definite answer to the customer within 2 weeks
meaning we either have a fix now for their current ISO 9000
certified application based on Forms 6.0 or we know through
testing that it absolutely will work when we rev. the application
to Forms 6i. The latter revision of their application is not due
to ship until mid-2002.
Any suggestions or referrals are appreciated.

Open oracle report in new window from method

Hi,
I have a requirement to do some stuff in the view object, save changes, launch an oracle report 10g in a new window, and then navigate to a new page on a SINGLE button press.
I can get all this done using a command button to call may backing bean and a goButton to launch my report, but need to combine these into a single button.
My question is, is there any way to launch my new window and report from the backing bean?
Or is there some other way to accomplish these requirements?
this is a JSF/BC app, jdev 10.1.3.3
Thanks,
Jim

What if I have to do validation against the inputs that are used to dynamically generate the report url in the backing bean when clicking the "Button". I couldn't see there is a way for <af:goButton> to implement that. I think there should be some kind of action or listener in the backing where I can do the validation before I decide to open the new window for report.
I searched the forum and there is a post that will use a form to open the report window using target="_blank" in the form's attribute, but that works only if we don't have to validate the inputs.
I also tried to find a solution that will open a new windows in the backing bean by invoking a javascript, that javascript function will have the report url generated in the backing bean as the parameter. But so far, I couldn't find one with my ADF version 10.1.3.2.0. It looks like that in ADF 11, this approach might be feasible.
Any idea, hints?

Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

Need Greek language on oracle report

Hi,
I digged up a lot of stuff on how to get a report to be displayed in diffrent languages.
I tried a lot of stuff, change font setting to Greek in Oracle Report Builder , still this doesn't show greek characters ,
for example,
έγγραφο μεταφοράς
(Ths english equivalent for the above text is 'transfer document')
This field is read from a DB.
In the DB we are able to store it in the greek language itself,
έγγραφο μεταφοράς
So, now when I run the report, on the paper layout which is generated,
i get this ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ instead of the έγγραφο μεταφοράς
Any one can help me out.. with this..
if you could point to some link where there are steps , I can follow the same..
Thanks..

An additional quote string ' character with the number field will solve this problem but if u want to display this field in report then it will look ugly
'''||yourfield from table; check ur regional settings also
plz mark it helpful correct if it is

Converting Oracle Reports to XML Publisher

Hello,
I've been trying to convert my Oracle Reports to use XML Publisher templates and make the canned reports more visually appealing. I've been following the steps described in note 295409.1 on metalink to change OR output to XML and calling the XMLP Engine to apply the template.
However I'm encountering errors when XMLP is calling the template. In order to jump start my template development, I've used the utility in Release 12 to change the RDF file into the PL/SQL packages and RTF template. Then I am attempting to reengineer these templates back into 11.5.10 and uploading them via XML Publisher Administrator. I am experiencing the errors described in the following forum thread:
XML Publisher error..urgent
I've located the problem within the template itself, but is this because of the conversion utility in release 12 (XML Version 5.6.3) is not compatible with our current XMLP version of 5.6.2 in 11i?
Any assistance would be helpful.
Thanks!
Ellen

This could have something to do with the fact that your printer is not set up correctly. Can you run a plain text (OReports) file output to the same printer? If not, then the printer is not set up in FND correctly. If you can ...
Remeber that unless you have a more modern printer that can handle PDF documents natively then XMLPs PDF is going to need to be converted to PS or PCL. I would suggest you investigate the PASTA printer driver and get that set up. It provides the ability to call a program pdf2ps for instance, to convert the PDF to PS. There is a bunch of info on metalink

Oracle Reports 2.5.5.20.0

I have Oracle Reports 2.5.5.20.0
and I have external query in file.
The file size is about 3 kb.
Oracle Reports didn't allow me to insert this query.
Why?
null

hello,
it is strongly suggested, that you upgade to the latest version of reports, because -as long as this is not bundled with oracle applications- this version of reports is not supported anymore and there will be no more fixes.
