Problems querying French Characters like '' and 'OE'

I have a problem when i query a string containing the '' i want that ORACLE FORMS find also the string containing 'OE' and '' because they are the same in french.
I dont want to code those in the pre-query triggers because i have around 30 forms with a lot of string field containing those characters
Do you have any solution.?
thank you for your reply

Hi Corey
To answer your questions I am on windows 7 IE 8 and also tried in firefox 3.6
backend is windows 2000 / IIS 6 / Coldfusion 8
I am able to enter the characters in the dialog box but during the save they are altered
I created a basic test page with nothing but the following code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ice="http://ns.adobe.com/incontextediting">

<div ice:editable="*" >
<p>Test test</p>
</div>
</div>
<script src="/includes/ice/ice.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>
saved it as test-characters.cfm (coldfusion page) and tested it out
problem was still there however when I save the page as a .html file and test it out the problem is no longer present
So the problem seems to only occur when using .cfm pages (even if there is no cf code on them)
I am going to send you a private message with access to my test pages in case your inclined to take a look
Thanks for you help so far

Firefox for ICS (Ice Scream Sandwitch) has some issue when trying to display some french characters like é, ç, û

Hello,
Some french special characters are not correctly displayed (not aligned with the rest of the text, some space before or after) or not displayed at all :-(
I think the issue is maybe due to ICS but I want to know: could you confirm ?
Best Regards.

Hello,
On my ASUS TF101G i solve this issue with this topic ([http://www.geckozone.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=101961#p675950 Geckozone] )

But for me there is another problem with special characters like "@" or "\" because use AltGr key in combination with "à" or "'-" have no effect.

Problems with special characters like "u00F6" "u00E4" "u00FC"

Hi,
we currently face some major problems with special characters like "ö" "ä" "ü". First I thought it is a SP02 specific problem but it still doesn't work with SP03.
When I start an import the import manager shows correct converted value. "ö"s "ä"s "ü"s are displayed correctly. But after I've done the import I look into the Data manager and I see instead of these characters charcaters like "̈". (note: the character should show a little square box - but the forum cannot desplay it)
How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Nico

Hi Nico
Just try it out the following steps, hope it solves ur issue.
<b>To set one or more values back to their original values:</b>
1. In the Import Manager Source Values grid, select the values that you want to set back to their original values.
2. Right-click on one of the values and choose Set to Original Value from the context menu, or choose Values > Apply Value Conversion Filter > Set to Original Value from the main menu.
3. MDME sets each value back to its original value, which appears in black in the Source Values grid.
<b>NOTE : You can use the Set to Original Value filter only at the value-level and not at the field level.</b>

Problems with French Characters in Page Title

Here is the problem
When using Duplicate Page and trying to set page titles with french characters (or other non standard characters for that matter such as qoutes) The resulting output does not display correctly.
I thought a work around would be to us the HTML escape codes in the title dialog when creating the page however it appears that Incontext then goes and attemps to escape the ampersand part of the escape code during save.
so for instance when trying to set a page title such as Whistler Live! prépare la scène using the following escaped version
Whistler Live! prépare la scène
The resulting HTML saved from incontext looks like this
Whistler Live! pr&eacute;pare la sc&egrave;ne
and the title does not display correctly.
Incontext sees the & which is page of the HTML escape code and they automatically replaces that with &
How the heck can we set HTML Special characters in our page titles - any ideas?

Problem with French characters with updateContent

I have this problem with Spry, (had it also with YUI a few
months ago) with special french characters
(éèçàù). I use encoding UTF-8, but
iso-8859-1 isn't working either. I put some examples here:
http://www.eventsonholiday.com/test_loadurl.asp
As long as it is static content, no problem. But when I get
content from a recordset from an Access database: trouble.
In IE7 the french characters are even worse, and I get the
error: null is empty or not an object

I think I found a solution. I found a few resources on the
internet that said: xmlhttprequest always sends data as utf-8 by
default. So when all the other pages use iso-8859-1, there's a
problem. It can be solved this way: when retrieving recordset
fields from ASP I use
HTMLEncoding like this:
<%=Server.HTMLEncode(RSevents.Fields.Item("event_location").Value)%>.
I have to do this for each field in the page, what means some extra
work.
For PHP it should be done with
htmlentities
If anyone has a solution without using the Server.HTMLEncode
method, tell me...

French characters come and go

Hi,
I have an app that sends out email messages in French and English, however it seems that at certain times of the day. The French characters are not recognized and come out as a "?". This only happens periodically and I can't find a pattern to it really. One hour is works, then several hours later it doesn't. We upgraded our email server recently and my guess would be that it's related to that because it started happening around the same time. I don't know what the procedure would be to begin to resolve this. Is it an email server config issue, or a programming issue.
Thanks

Hi!
Raw message is displaying like that :
Message part text/plain you lost accent :
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15
Content-Transfer-Encoding: *7bit*
Message part text/plain accent look good:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Where coming from the difference between each message ?
In Java, a simple Strings contain (16 bit) Unicode characters.
You need to encode french accent by the unicode escape sequences for chars, example : "\u00XX"
Other solution is to use file properties for french text in your mail application, object Properties is "mail-safe".
Javamail pick the good transfer encoding for you...

SQL Query returns values like "---" and "NA"

Hi
When I execute a sql query in MII it returns values like "---" and "NA" for empty Char and numeric fields respectively.
I have checked the database and made sure that these fields does not have any value. This happens only when I run the query through MII. Can any one know how can we get rid of these values?
Thanks in advance
Shaji

Shaji,
MII sets those values as a default if it discovers null values in a query result. You can change this default behaviour in several ways.
First, have a look at the document [Setting custom null values in XML|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70628af0-8ec4-2c10-7da2-f451e412dd8f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]. Then you may also use SQL functions like [NVL|http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/nvl.php] to change the value directly in the SQL query. You can also change the value inside the MII BLT to whatever you need.

Problem with specials characters like '€' or 'œ'

Hello,
I'm having troubles with specials characters such as '€' or 'œ'.
I use an application connected to a 9.2.0.7.0 database on a w2003 server.
Characterset of the database is FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252.
In my workstation the value of [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\NLS_LANG] is also FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252.
But when I type such specials characters through the application, they are replaced by '¿' in the database. The datatype of this column is varchar2.
Can anyone help me ?
thanks

Is your application a java application ? if so, pl see MOS Doc 365874.1 (Euro Symbol/Trademark Symbol is Garbled When JDBC Thin Driver Retrieves Data from a Database with Characterset WE8MSWIN1252)

Problem with special characters (&) when printing using XSL-FO ...

Hello everybody !!
I have a problem when I want to print a Report with a link to a URL where the character "&" is present :
I want to have something like : src="file:///...webfile?param1=val1*+_&_+*param2=val2"
In my XSL-FO file, I wrote : src="file:///...webfile?param1=<xsl:value-of select="IDARTICLE"/>*+_<xsl:text>&</xsl:text>_+*param2=<xsl:value-of select="MARQUE"/>"
When I try this only with FOP, it works. However, when I upload the XSL-FO file to ApEx, it says my PDF file is corrupted when I want to open it.
What do I have to put the '&' symbol when I want to print the Report ??
Could anyone help me ??
Thanks by advance,
Pierre C.

I believe this relates to something I have actually found in my own testing.
It is probably due to the Template not being URLEncoded prior to transmission to the FOP processor.
I actually determined that special URL characters, like '+' and '&', are lost on transmission because the type of submission is POST with x-www-form-urlencoded, but the fields are not actually encoded entirely. The XML Element contents are encoded prior to transmission in order to preserve data.
Work around would be to URLEncode the template as it sits in the WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS. I have been able to successfully get around the problem by doing that.

Well the colon and backslash are used the file system so they are typically disallowed in many modern file systems. If the drive is formatted using the FAT32 partition type you are limited even more about which characters you can use.
My recommendation is to the underscore or space instead of the forward slash, or colon.

French Characters storing Problem

Hi All,
I'm having a problem of not able to store the french characters in the table.
My Oracle server character set is set to WE8MSWIN1252.
My client character set is ISO8859.
As I understand MSWIN1252 is super set of ISO8859. so storing a French characters should not be a problem. but still I'm not able to store french characters in the table..
Please give me some inputs on this.
Thanks in advance.

My Mac won't read cyrillic in certain files and displays instead weird characters like this: "–í–µ-Ç–µ-Ä –ø-Ä–æ–¥–∏-Ä–∞–µ-Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ-Å-Ç–µ–π." Any ideas why this might be or how I can solve it?

Yesterday I extracted the subtitles of an MKV file to try and print them. Unfortunately, when I open the .srt file with any text processor, it displays weird characters like the ones included in the title:
"–û–±—ã–≤–∞—Ç–µ–ª–∏ –ø–µ—á–∞–ª—å–Ω—ã.
–í–µ—Ç–µ—Ä –ø—Ä–æ–¥–∏—Ä–∞–µ—Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ—Å—Ç–µ–π."
I thought this had to do with it being an .srt file, but just now I encountered the same problem with an Excel file.
Any ideas why this might be or suggestions as to how to solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Mario

It looks like an encoding problem. You should try opening the file in a text editor where you can choose one of the various possible cyrillic encodings (utf-8, koi8-r, iso-8859-5, win-1251, MacCyrillic)

Problems with special Characters in filenames and folders

My problem is that i have a small portlet which lists some files under each other. These files have sometimes the special character & in there name.
If now a person clicks with right mousebutton on such a link, the saving dialog only shows a cryptik filename.
Example:
filename = harry&sally.pdf
rightclick and saving the file the new name is something like: 2C576B9904F63BBEE040200A2A040606.pdf
All other files even if they have blank characters or characters like ä, ö ... it works but not with &.
Do anyone could say me how i can manage this?
Message was edited by:
Oliver Lemm

having special characters in filenames is not a safe and healthy practice as you may see. this is specially true for the content that has to be displayed online using Oracle as Oracle uses <b>&</b> and <b>?</b> for passing parameter values in dynamic URLs. </p>
<p>
I would recommend estimation of the cost of fixing filenames to tackle this issue rather than to get a way-around to just bury it again. if you are using Unix platform, it should not be more than a line worth of command to fix for all such files using stream-editors; in windows you may take some more. but i understand, changing filenames might require one to see the impact of those changes on all other places where these files have been called. </p>

How to retrieve characters like '£' from the database and write to xml file

Hi ,
I have a requirement to retrieve the data from database and write to files in XML format.
I am able to do so successfuly by using XMLElement tag and writing to file through UTL_File package.
All characters like <&@^ get converted properly, but when it comes to multibyte chars like '£', they are not able to get converted as it is.
Can somebody please advise me how to go ahead.
Regards

Thanks odie.
The nls_charset for my database is WE8ISO8859P1 and database version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi.
The data (with pound sign) is sitting in one of the columns of the table and when i query it directly, I am able to view it properly.
However when I use the below code to retrieve in XML format and print it to file, it gets changed. This file is also passed to one of the application GUI where this XML gets processsed and it is not visible properly.
