Promblems with character conversions for 0x91

I have a string I trying to create from an array of bytes.
I'm using new String(byte[]) to do this, but some of the characters get corrupted.
In particular, the byte 0x91 gets converted to the character 0x2018.
Why is this happening, and how do I stop it?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Should have provided more information.
I have a JSP that will display these strings - they're hebrew characters. In the JSP I set the Character Encoding to UTF-8, and the resulting HTML uses the UTF-8 charset.
When I display the strings as they are (unicode), the JSP converts all the characters to 0x3f - I get a bunch of ??????? displayed. So I was playing around with the strings, and found that if I do a
byte[] tmp = str.getBytes("UTF-8")
and then do a
str = new String(tmp)
and display that from the JSP, I get most of the hebrew characters displayed properly - with the excption of 0x91 and a handful of other characters.
But from your response, it sounds like I'm taking the wrong route to the solution. Any ideas why the JSP isn't converting the unicode to UTF-8?

XMLELEMENT and suppress character conversion for brackets etc...

Hi,
I want use XMLElement, XMLAgg to create a large XML-file from database.
However I have the problem that I already SELECT valid XML chunks from
the database. I this case I don't want a character conversion,e.g.
open angle bracket (<) becomes <
quotation mark (") becomes "
and so on.
Is it possible with my Oracle 9.2 ?

Hi,
ok finally I think I found now a solution for my problem which is:

I let a function create the XML and write it to a CLOB variable.
In sqlplus I do simply

I still have to proof it with mass data.

How to replace key value with character

Hi Experts
Can any one tell me, how to replace key value with character, whether it is possible are not. My present report is displaying below format.

Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
Thanks

Hi DBA-One
This link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
There is only one thing about different character sets.
I quote:
Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.

UDF for Special Character Conversion

Hello All,
Can any one help me with the UDF for special character conversion code.
I mean if a special character is given it should pass a blankspace.
<< Moderator message - Everyone's problem is important >>
Many thanks,
Rahul.

Hi Rahul ,
the best way to deal with special character is to use proper encoding in your Sender Communication channel it self .So that in your payload you will get proper value .
IF you are getting some special character which is not covered in encoding UTF-8 thne you can use encoding IS0-8859-1 .You can easily refer in help that how to use encoding in your communication channel .

How does one install non-English character sets for use with the "find" function in Acrabat Pro 11?

I have pdf files in European languages and want to be able to enter non-English characters in the "find" function. How does one install other character sets for use with Acrobat Pro XI?

Have you tried applying the update by going to Help>Updates within Photoshop Lightroom? The update should be using the same licensing? Did you perhaps customize the installation location? Finally which operating system are you using?

I have a licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows. I recently switched over to MAC OS and would like to move my Adobe X Pro over but the CD will not work for Mac OS? Can anyone assist me with this conversion? Best, James.

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

Urgent: Search for user with 'ß' character failed.

Hi all,
I have problem for searching the user with 'ß' character included in the name of user in Identity Management.
When nothing is specified in the search criteria, then the user is displayed.
When the name of user without 'ß' is given in the search criteria, then also the user is displayed.
But when the name is given with 'ß' in search criteria, the user is not recognized and cannot be displayed.
'ß' is the German Character.
Please help me out, why the user is not recognized with the character 'ß' in the search criteria.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Yogita.

Hi,
You can ofcourse use ß and all other chars in your search.
It makes no sence that you can create users with these chars, but cannot search using them.
I tried to create user with char ß and also could search with this char. So it is only a local problem on your server.
Is your UME connected with LDAP or DB? My UME where I tested is DB.
So dont give up, open an OSS message with SAP for a solution and also update this thread if you find an answer.

Brushes not working with new RAW conversion for Nikon D7000

I have always worked with RAW files w/A2 & A3.1.1 with my Nikon (D80) And now, just got Nikon's D7000 and of course, waited for the RAW conversion that just came out.
Apple addressed the Nikon D7000 RAW situation (which was fixed this month), but now when I use "brushes" on RAW pics, very little if any changes occur.
Very little affect occurs (if any) with A3.1.1 and the "new" RAW conversion for Nikon. I shot (at the same time) both RAW and JPEG (as cameras can) and put them side by side in A3. Pulled down Dodge / Burn / Skin Smoothing & Blur from brushes and they all did a great job. But on the RAW pic that was taken at the same time..... nada, nothing (maybe a minute change, but nothing to call home about).
Bottom line, the newest RAW capability that came out a couple of weeks ago, somehow messed up brushes? I don't think I am that smart or lucky to see this issue. Am I missing something here? If so, please set me straight.
I have tried the places one pulls down brushes but no affect on RAW. Using curves from bricks and luminance, etc, works just fine. Guess I am stuck with JPEG's until this is resolved by our A3 guys, or someone realigns me.

I am able to import them, but I cannot edit them as RAW files. They behave like .jpegs. So correcting exposure for example is a horrible experience. My 5D Mark II files behave as they did in Aperture, so it is the FZ1000 RAWs in particular that are problematic.

Bad conversion for RAW file with Maverick

Hello,
I own a SONY Alpha A6000 camera. When I shoot my pictures in JPEG, no trouble. When I shoot my pictures in RAW, the pictures are overexposed after conversion in iPhoto.
In the list of camera supported by iPhoto (and Aperture), the SONY Alpha A6000 is not present.
Can you tell me when we will have a new update for RAW conversion with Maverick ?
OS X 10.9.3
iPhoto 9.5
Thank you ;-)
Bruno.

It looks like we have been speaking/writing at cross purposes
Your question raised two aspects - the RAW support for your specific camera, and how raw support is working in Aperture and iPhoto generally.
You are right, the camera is not on the list of supported cameras. Apple is not supporting all cameras, and some will never be supprted. I am waiting since four years for the support of my camera. Since your camera is not supported, you should not be using the raw with Aperture or iPhoto. As I pointed out, it is a bug, that you are able to process the RAW files at all in iPhoto or Aperture. iPhoto is using the RAW conversion for a different camera. Be careful, when Apple corrects this bug, you may no longer be able to open these RAW files in iPhoto.
But the second problem is the over exposure. It is unlikely, that this is due to using the RAW support designed for a different camera. We are seeing this problem continually in the Aperture forum, when in-camera settings are used. It is due to the fact, how Apple's RAW developement works. It disregards in-camera tags. You will see the same effect, when the proper RAW support for your camera will finally be released. That is why I pointed you to Keith Barkley's great user tip. It describes the only safe way to work with RAW photos in Aperture and iPhoto:
( The Big Three: Setting your camera for the best Aperture RAW results)
As long as you are using in-camera settings, you will never see in your camera generated previews, what the RAW files are like, that you are recording.
And we cannot predict, if and when your camera will be supported.

Printing ZPL (Zebra) data to printer spooler without character conversion

Hi all,
We are printing shipping labels from UPS, with a process where we recive the ZPL label code directly from UPS, and we just need to pass the data to the printer to get the labels. We have already implemented this with Fedex and some custom labels, and it works perfectly. The problem with the UPS label data is that it contains non-printable characters (in the MaxiCode data field). When passed to the SAP printer spooler (see code example below), the data gets corrupted because SAP interprets these non-printable characters as printer control codes.
I have verified this by saving the ZPL data to a local file, before printing it through the SAP spooler. I then print this raw data and compare the output with the labels printed from the spooler. The MaxiCode (the big 2D barcode) is different in these labels. UPS has also tested the labels, and rejected them because of incorrect data in the barcode.
For printing, we are using printers defined as type "PLAIN", but I also tried using the "LZEB2" device type with the same result. The error we see in the spooler entry is this:
Print ctrl S_0D_ is not defined for this printer. Page 1, line 2, col. 2201
Print output may not be as intended
The printer ctrl code differs, depending om the label. I have examined the spooler data in "raw" mode, and there is always an ASCII character 28 (hex 1C) in front of the characters that SAP think are control codes, and this is why I think these non-printable characters are the reason for the problems.
This is the function module I use to print the ZPL data (and as stated above, this works fine for Fedex and custom labels). The ZPL data is converted to binary format before passed to the function module, but I also tried to send the data in text format with another FM, but the result is the same. I have experimented with the "codepage" parameter, and this one gives the least amount of errors, and some labels actually get through without errors. But still at least 50% of the labels gets corrupted, with log entries like above.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_SR_WRITE_BINARY'
      EXPORTING
        handle           = lv_spool_handle
        data             = lv_label_line_bin
        length           = lv_len
        codepage         = '2010'
      EXCEPTIONS
        handle_not_valid = 1
        operation_failed = 2
        OTHERS           = 3.
Does anyone know if there is a way to send data to the spooler without character conversion or interpretation of printer control codes? Or is there any other smart way to get around this problem?
/Leif

I do a more direct output to the spooler, to avoid any issues with the WRITE statement and SAP's report output processing. At the same time, I insert line breaks so that the output is easy to debug in the spooler if needed. Also included is the code to to detect the escape code (ASCII #28) and to insert a control code ZZUPS in its place (you can skip this for Fedex). Here's a simplified example, but please note this is for a Unicode system, some minor changes is required in a non-Unicode system.

Character conversion problems when calling FM via RFC from Unicode ECC 6.0?

Hi all,
I faced a Cyrillic character convertion problem while calling an RFC function from R/3 ECC 6.0 (initialized as Unicode system - c.p. 4103). My target system is R/3 4.6C with default c.p. 1500.
The parameter I used in my FM interface in target system is of type CHAR10 (single-byte, obviously).
I have defined rfc-connection (SM59) as an ABAP connection and further client/logon language/user/password are supplied.
The problem I faced is, that Cyrillic symbols are transferred as '#' in the target system ('#' is set as default symbol in RFC-destination definition in case character convertion error is met).
Checking convertions between c.p. 4103 and target c.p. 1500 in my source system using tools of transaction i18n shows no errors - means conversion passed O.K. It seems default character conversion executed by source system whithin the scope of RFC-destination definition is doing something wrong.
Further, I played with MDMP & Unicode settings whithin the RFC-destination definition with no successful result - perhaps due to lack of documentation for how to set and manage these parameters.
The question is: have someone any experience with any conversion between Unicode and non-Unicide systems via RFC-call (non-English target obligatory !!!), or can anyone share valuable information regarding this issue - what should be managed in the RFC-destination in order to get character conversion working? Is it acceptable to use any character parameter in the target function module interface at all?
Many thanks in advance.

hey,
I had a similar experience. I was interfacing between 4.6 (RFC), PI and ECC 6.0 (ABAP Proxy). When data was passed from ECC to 4.6, RFC received them incorrectly. So i had to send trimmed strings from ECC and receive them as strings in RFC (esp for CURR and QUAN fields). Also the receiver communication channel in PI (between PI and RFC) had to be set as Non unicode. This helped a bit. But still I am getting 2 issues, truncation of values and some additional digits !! But the above changes resolved unwanted characters problem like "<" and "#". You can find a related post in my id. Hope this info helps..

Error occurred during character conversion in SXMB_MONI

Hello Experts,
Good Day!
I would like to seek your help here. When i used tcode SXMB_MONI to search for messages i get this error : Error occurred during character conversion.
So far no problem with the program. Its work for all other dates. Just for one particular day and specific time period, im geting this error.
Does anyone know what is this error means? Please reply..
Thanks for your help.
Looking forward for ur replies..

Hi Presheela,
Basically this problem occurs when ur payload contains any special characters like '&' ,'>'...etc .So you have to take care of how to deal with these characters in XI.
Refer the following documentation:
How to Work with Character Encodings in Process Integration
