Problem inputting Chinese characters in oracle forms

Hi,
We have a Chinese character: UCS2=7A4F (UTF8=E7A98F) If we try to input it to a control in a Forms application using chanjie (key sequence h-d-b-s-p) input method, it becomes "?", but if we input it using same method in word or notepad, it shows correctly and can then be copy-and-paste to oracle forms.
Is there some sort of implicit conversion of Chinese character input done by Oracle Forms controls such that it is unable to decode this character properly? Or is there some sort of setup that can be done to bypass this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, hopefully as soon as possible.
Thank you very much.

If I use LOV in place of List Item,Then I have to populate a LOV at run time.How could I maintain a record group n attach to LOV at run time?
On my previous post I have mentioned record group as follows:
select * from tbl_state where s_id=:tbl_address.s_id;
If :tbl_adress.s_id chaned during the time of run, then output values of list_city (LOV) is also changed.

Printing Chinese Characters in Smart Forms

Hi,
Iu2019m trying to print Chinese characters via smart forms. However during print preview or print, all Chinese characters are showing as # symbols.
I have researched and implemented for some possible solutions posted in the forum like:
a.) Setting the regional language control panel.
b.) Activating the multi-byte function in I18N.
c.) Checked the output device is SWINCF.
d.) Control parameter language is ZH (Chinese).
Unfortunately it still doesnu2019t solve the problem. Any input is highly appreciated.
With regards,
Marc

Remark following basics:
Forms:
Language of the form must be: "ZH".
Due to a SAPNOTE only font family CN* (CNSONG etc.) is mapped.
For frontend print, you must install chinese true type on you local PC and print via "CNSAPWIN" .
For backend print, you must install neccesaary fonts in your printer to the resident fonts. You must use a printer like "CNHPL4" or so.
For PDF archiving, you must upload truetype fonts to application server -> basis guys.
Cascading Fonts:
If you mix different subfonts to unicode areas, you must use CNSAPWINCF.
Until now, only frontend printing is available.
Note:
Spool created for back end print with print preview is only a simulation of getting a picture of the output created with front end technology. So it can differ, when the printer does not have the resident fonts.

Christian

Bold 9700 V5.0.0.593 Read/Input Chinese Characters?

Hi
I used to be able to read and input chinese character on my Bold 9700.
Few days ago, I connected my device to the desktop manager and it prompted me to update my device os to V5.0.0.593 (Bundle 1022, Platform 5.1.0.147). Ever since then, I am unable to read or input chinese characters.
I've read through the forum, did whichever I can find, and crashed my blackberry a few times as I think I loaded some 3rd party modules. I managed to wipe out the whole device and reload EastAsia pack (which I did at least 3 times) but am still unable to have my chinese characters on.
Pls advice what else I can do.
Thanks!

By the way, it does not have the 'Simplified and Traditional Characters and Font Support' under the Application Loader...

Cannot Store Chinese Characters In Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database

Hi,
I'm having trouble localizing my Oracle 9.2.0.7 / ASP web application for our Chinese-speaking users.
My Oracle 9.2.0.7 Database has NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET set to AL16UTF16.
I've set up a test table thus:
CREATE TABLE "TBL_TEST_CH"
field1                          NVARCHAR2(40),
field2                          NVARCHAR2(40)
I have the Chinese character set installed on my database / web server (same box), as well as a test client machine. I can see Chinese characters in my web browser, and can enter them in a test ASP page I've set up. When I execute an insert statement via ADO, the insert statement seems to work, but the result is that the data seems to be stored as upside-down question marks.
I thought perhaps the data was being somehow scrambled between the web app and the database, so I set up an external table import the Chinese data from a Unicode text file:
CREATE TABLE kenny.ch_import
     FIELD1          NVARCHAR2(255),
     FIELD2          NVARCHAR2(255)
     ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (TYPE oracle_loader
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_dat_dir
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
     (RECORDS DELIMITED BY ":"
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY "~"
     missing field values are null)
     LOCATION (ext_dat_dir:'test_ch.txt'))
     reject limit unlimited
However, when I query the data in the external table using my web application, it comes back with garbage like "ÿþ1" and the like.
To attempt to determine if the database is capable of storing the Chinese characters, I've performed the following test:
1) I insert a Chinese character in an NVARCHAR2 field in my table by using the UNISTR function thus:
insert into tbl_test_ch (field1) values (unistr('\3E00'))
2) I interrogated the value using the dump function thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
I'm struggling to understand the output. Obviously the character set being used is "AL16UTF16" (which I would expect to be able to store Chinese characters), but the return_format argument I've provided to the function (1016) should return the hexadecimal code point of the character that's being stored. I would expect this to be the same as I inserted ("3E00"), but I'm getting the following output:
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 3e,0
I'd really appreciate any suggestions on what I could do next to determine exactly where the problem lies. I've not been able to convince myself that the database is correctly storing the Chinese character data, but I appreciate equally that the problem could lie elsewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Kenny McEwan.

Thanks, Serguisz.
My technology stack is as follows:
ASP 3.0 web application, running on IIS6.
On the web servier, I have MDAC 2.8 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
On the Oracle database server, I have Windows Server 2003 SP1.
My Oracle database version is 9.2.0.7.
The client I've been using in this investigation is Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.
It does look like you're right about characters coming from the application are being corrupted. To support this, I tried to insert the chinese character 博 as well as the Unihan character 中 from a web page in my application. I then used the dump function to interrogate the contents of the field I input to thus:
select dump(field1, 1016) FROM tbl_test_ch
DUMP(FIELD1,1016)
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Typ=1 Len=2 CharacterSet=AL16UTF16: 0,bf
Both characters seem to have suffered the same corruption.
The problem seems to happen in the other direction as well - even after verifying that the character detailed in the previous post was stored correctly, it is still displayed by my web app as an upside down question mark.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?
Best regards,
Kenny.

Issue Regarding Chinese characters In Smart Form Print preview..

Hi All,
I am working on a smart form development for chinese users. The requirement is the user will login using English & when the delivery will be issued for output, a check will be done on the country of user. If that comes as china then the international version (C) maintained for that customer will come as output.
Now the problem is even if I login using EN or ZH the below issue I am facing always.
In the database I can view the details in chinese properly by logging in as ZH. During debugging also i checked the data from table ADRC & MAKT is coming in chinese properly. But when i gave the values to be output in SmartForm, it is showing the characters like how it will look if I login using EN & view the table contents.
When i view the data by changing character set as Simplified Chinese then in table i can see chinese texts properly. But when the same data goes to print preview it shows the chinese characters like as it would appear when character set is Unicode or West European..
Please help..
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
print preview and physical printout are two different things.
PrintPreview:
The data stream will be sent to the frontend and rendered with windows-fonts etc (for backend prints a simulation).
Printout:
Frontend: You need a printer, that maps the character, you have to use SAPWIN or SAPWINCF when using cascading fonts. The rendering will be done in the windows spooler.
Backend: Your printer needs also a mapping (look like something with UTF8). Also the printer needs the fonts installed because the rendering will be done in the printer!
If you use the pdf-printer in SAP, you need to upload all necessary fonts (TTF) for the pdf-composer. Also you need a unicode pdf printer for that.

Christian

Problem displaying chinese characters

I have got the problem with displaying chinese characters in the webpage after fetching the data from database.
I am using Oracle IAS webserver and oracle 8i as the database which is in UTF-8 characterset.I am getting the out put in the chinese if I use this code.
String value1 = new String(value.getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "GB2312");
I am getting the out put using this code in this format
��
比分卡片 basically this code does that.(String value1 = new String(value.getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "GB2312");)
But some body told me that I have to do some settings in the server.I am using oracel IAS.Can you suggest me any thing?.
Here is my full code

Follow the steps as listed below:
1. Is the Font available on Printer
           Goto SP01 transaction -> Enter the Spool Number -> Execute
2. Does device type/Spool Server support the font
           Goto Transaction SPAD and click Output Devices
3. SAP level Multibyte setting in place
           Click ALT + F12
           Select Options -> I18N
           Tick Activate Multibyte functionality
4. Is appropriate font for the language used
          For Simplified Chinese (ZH) language use font CNHEI, CNKAI, CNSONG

Problem fetching Chinese Characters over DB Link

Hi,

It appears that you have a data display problem & I am not convinced that it has anything to do with XE;
just SQL Developer.
When was the last time SQL Developer properly displayed Chinese characters?Hi,
I've never had any chance to view Chinese characters before in SQL Developer. This is my first attempt.
EDIT: I tried the following SELECT statement in SQL Developer and it seems to display the Chinese character just fine.
select unistr('\8349') from dual;So I'm guessing the problem was while I was trying to fetch the data from the SQL Server DB.The data is good in the SQLServer DB & SQL Developer can display when it gets them.
so problem is with the ODBC between the two systems.

[internationalization] problems with Chinese characters

Hi everybody.
I'm working on a program and i'd like to translate it into several languages. Until now I've managed to launch my program in 3 languages : French, English and German. I do it by asking the user which language he'd like to select by means of a JComboBox. Then the right Locale is selected and the right text is called by the RessourceBundle and so on .... Actually I've encountered no problems with "latin lettered" languages.
I also tried to introduce Chinese in my program and that's how problems come in. The way Chinese is introduced in the program is exactly the same that of French, English and German. The .properties file I use is MyRessourcesMainTitle_zh.properties and one line is stored in it: title = 中文
However when I run the program and selected Chinese as language an error pops up in the DOS console : "Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.MissingRessourceException : Can't find ressource for bundle java.util.PropertyRessourceBundle, key title".
I would like to point out that I saved my *.properties in a former *.txt file encoded in Unicode. Saving it encoded either in Unicode big endian or in UTF8 ends with the same problem. However the program ran just fine when I encoded it in ANSI but it's worthless insofar as the Chinese characters are transformed into "?".
Would anyone have an idea about how to implement sucessfully Chinese characters in my program ?

I dont think you can print chinese chars at the console on window
to print the character codes to the console use someting like that
char [] chars = request.getParameter("whatever").toCharArray()
for(each chars){
System.out.println((int)chars);
then check if you got the corresponding chinese char

Problems with Chinese characters

I have a client experiencing 3 distinct problems with their Chinese-localized Fm files:
The SimSun TTF font used in the source Fm files is "uninstalling" itself. This requires reinstallation of the font on a regular basis (every few days).
The colons used in index markers in the Fm source files are not being parsed as Level1IX, Level2IX, etc. in the RoboHelp project. Instead, they are recognized as colons. In other words, the first level marker in Rh is XXXXXXXX:XXXXXXX:XXXXXXX. The same is true for the semicolons.
The conversion settings for the Chinese project do not allow for mapping to individual CSS elements and classes. This means that all of the formatting is controlled via the supplemental CSS generated from the FrameMaker formatting. IOW, the formatting all uses the class="FM_ definitions.
Has anyone had success working with Chinese characters in a FrameMaker to RoboHelp workflow (either linking or importing)?
Anyone else seen any of these issues in Chinese or any other fonts?
I'm thinking the first two issues are likely due to the TrueType font used, but can't find an Adobe OTF SimSans font to use as a replacement.
However, the lack of mapping capability in the conversion process is a stumper...perhaps due to the double-byte font itself.
Any thoughts or solutions are greatly appreciated by my client (whose deadline passed yesterday!)

How to display Chinese characters in Oracle?

I am using Oracle 8i with Language settings as AMERICA.
I am displaying records which is contain Chinese characters.
But it is not displayed properly in Oralce.
How to change the settings to display Chinese characters?
Thanks

It could be possible to display Chinese characters using SQL Developer without any specific NLS_LANG setting because SQL Developer is using JDBC which doesn't use NLS_LANG setting according to When is NLS_LANG used ?.
For example, I'm able to display the following Chinese character in SQL Developer 1.2.0 on Windows XP Pro with French Windows setting and NLS_LANG set in Windows registry to FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1.
select unistr('\8349') from dual;

How to get utf-8 Chinese Characters from Oracle DB by EJB

We have found that after disabling JIT in weblogic, the Chinese can be displayed correctly, otherwise, it doesn't work.How come this happens?

Thanks for all of your suggestions. It still refuses to work.
I entered the following: ��^�E on the HTML form using the Chinese(PRC)keyboard on my Win2K box.
I checked and verified the correct encoding in the servlet request (GB2312 for chinese characters)
request.getParameter(xxx) yields ???
new String(request.getParameter(xxx).getBytes("GB2312")) yields three boxes (values 20309, 27946 and 23380)
new String(request.getParameter(xxx).getBytes("GB2312"), "UTF-8") yields nothing
Any ideas?
