Report Query - Download data - converts special characters
When I'm doing a select from a table which has a "<" or ">" sign it is being changed to < or > when I view the XML data that is being downloaded. Is there any way to prevent it from doing this?
What I'm finding is that when master detail data is dumped in XML it is being dumped as individual rows.

This is how one should expect the data to look... not as my first example. Can I do this with plsql... most definitely. However, the report query tool wants a select statement. You can add queries but it will simply output the data as a single row regardless of how many queries you create. Furthermore I thought I might try to introduce subnodes by encapsulating the data with <> but unfortunately any special data will get converted to html code. So when I read it with text viewer software I can see these replaced with < and > Within the report query tool you can't create a select which will format the data (as per my second example). I'm trying to use reporting software which will expect the data as per my second example so that it will appear grouped and sorted properly but it won't work if the rows are being treated as individual lines as in my first example. I'm not sure why Oracle would not allow you to sort and group it this way since any XML data I've seen, seems to be grouped as per my second example and not as they have implemented it. I have no idea as to how to create this format to the data using report queries given the data will get converted to HTML.

Custom PDF/RTF reports with Cocoon (problem with special characters)
Hi all,
I've setup application (APEX 3.0.1) with some custom PDF reports (using Cocoon 2.1.10),
I'm generating my own hierarchical xml structure, using query with xmlelement() and xmlagg() functions,
I cannot use built-in xml generator, because I need to get master-detail report with sub-grouping.
Everything works fine if data in report doesn't contains special characters like "&",
but Cocoon stops processing XML data when it found special character, following error is written to cocoon log:

This error occur when Cocoon process folowing XML entity:
<PRZEDMIOT><![CDATA[PPHU "T&M" Ltd.]]></PRZEDMIOT>
I tried to escape "&" character with CDATA section, but it didn't work.
I tested following alternatives:
<pre>
<PRZEDMIOT>PPHU "T&M" Ltd</PRZEDMIOT>
<PRZEDMIOT><PPHU "T&M" Ltd.></PRZEDMIOT> --remove '<' and '>' characters
<PRZEDMIOT><![CDATA[PPHU "T&M" Ltd.]]></PRZEDMIOT>
</pre>
but I still get the same error.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks
Tomasz K.Ok, I found that only '&' and '%' characters breaks Cocoon processing.
The workaround is to use replace() function and change:
'&' to '%26' and '%' to '%25', but I think that is a dirty way...
Other characters like " - 'double citation' are succesfully escaped with xmlcdata() function.
Perhaps someone know the simpler way to get Master/Detail PDF reports from APEX without using BI Publisher ???
Actually I have page process invoked by button, which generates XML data, post it to Cocoon with UTL_HTTP and save generated PDF to database table (for future use).
The same button invokes branch to URL with download procedure.
Standard APEX reporting is not very usefull for me, because I don't know how to generate "complex" documents, with several grouping sections.
I will be gratefull for any aid. -
How to convert special characters in ABAP to XML?
Hi All.
We have a scenario where from XI (exchange Infrastructure), a BAPI is called which returns an XML. From that XML, a PDF is generated.
Now, if the XML contains any special characters, it will fail.
So if any CHinese char or >, # etc signs are there, it fails.
Can you please tell me how to convert my string in ABAP to a proper XML?
I am new to it and I was trying the following code
DATA: today TYPE string,
result TYPE string.
today = 'This is testing'.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ID
SOURCE today = today
RESULT XML result.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
WRITE result.
ENDIF.
But it does not return me anything.

Report Query - XML data source empty
Hello!
I built a report query, using the wizard, under Shared Components and when I test the query using bind variables I get the correct data, but as I click Apply Changes and get to the screen where it gives me the option to Download the data source for the report layout, the file is empty. I've repeated the steps multiple times, each time getting correct data when testing the query, yet nothing in my xml file.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thank you.Hello! Thank you for responding!
I actually am having problems on the "Report Queries" section under "Shared Components"...my query doesn't return any data when I try to download/open the xml file. Once I'm able to get this fixed, I'll be able to open my report on the page that has the branch. -

Reports with output to excel - special characters not displayed correctly.
Hi,
I have a portal with data from 5 continents. In many places special or national characters are used in names. My portal can show most of these characters correctly and so can my version of Microsoft Office Excel. When text with these characters are copy/pasted from the screen to an excel sheet, they are also shown correctly in excel. The problem arises in portal reports, where output is set to Excel, then special characters are often displayed as strange double characters, for example á is shown as á . Does anybody have a solution to that?
Thanks
ArneNo answers have been posted yet and now I have found a solution myself. The portal report is run and output set to Excel. The resulting file is opened, and a new row is inserted in the top of the sheet. In the first field in this row is written the characters *\xEF\xBB\xBF*. It is called a UTF-8 BOM, and when written in the start of a text file, it will tell the program that opens it, that UTF-8 encoding is used.<br><br>
The file is saved with the file type CSV (semicolon separated) (*.csv) and excel is closed. When you click on the CSV-file, it is opened by excel, and now all characters with accents, circumflexes and umlauts are shown correctly.<br><br>
The solution was found here: http://www.roosmaa.net/importing-utf-8-csvs-in-excel/ -

HTML Editor - converting "special characters" into entities
Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the middle of formatting my wife's novel into 'clean' html so I can use Calibre to create a well formatted epub/mobi/etc.
I've read that TextMate on Mac includes a function to "Convert Selection to Entities excluding Tags". In other words it will replace all special characters (ellipses, copyright sign, etc) with the html entities.
I'm currently using Kate and I can't seem to find anything similar. Is anyone aware of any linux editors with the same function?
Thanks for the help!ctarwater wrote:Encoding is already UTF-8 but I'm trying to make these docs as "universal" as possible and I've read that little things like replacing quotation marks and other symbols with their html entities is a good step in that direction.
In situations with multiple encodings this might be the case, but the XML spec requires UTF‐8 support at minimum and defaults to it when the encoding is not declared. All XML parsers can deal with UTF‐8.
In fact, replacing UTF‐8 characters with entities is less portable in XML. This is because the available entities are defined by the doctype, and XML only supports five by default (<, >, ", &, and '). Things like … are defined in the HTML and XHTML doctypes, but not in other dialects of XML. This used to bite RSS pretty hard (probably still does), because people assumed the entities were available everywhere when they’re really not. EPUB and Mobi are based on XHTML, but other formats might use other XML dialects. -
Oracle SQL query for getting specific special characters from a table

It has to return "Name" column which is having special characters,whereas some special chars like -, / ," and space are acceptable.
The Oracle query has to print columns having special characters excluding -,/," and space
Can anyone help me to get a SQL query for the above.
Thanks in advance.You can achieve it in multiple ways. Here are few.

GL Trial Balance Report Query with date Effectivity
We have a requirement to show the GL Trial Balance report with Effective dates as Parameters.
Current Analysis:
The Journals get updated with corresponding CCID in GL_BALANCES table when the Journal is posted. GL_BALANCE is SOB specific, if the SOB has month as period then the balances in GL_BALANCES would get updated against the month(period).
To overcome the period problem, we explored the option of using a View based on GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES for 'Posted' Journal Batches of a SOB. We are checking whether the GL_JE_HEADERS.default_effective_date lies between the :p_from_date and :p_to_date which is sent to the Report as a parameter. The above idea does not return expected data when the custom Trial Balance Report is run.
Following is the Query we have written for it:

Report link not working for special characters
Hi
I am passing parameters from one report to another using Column Link... Everything is working fine, with the exception when there is a special character (&) within the customer name... When I click on such links I am getting an error messge... For example:
H&R Block became H&R Block Please advice...Consider the translate function. I am using this successfully when passing our item numbers from one page to another.
select '<a href=f?p=&APP_ID.:2110:&SESSION.::NO::P2110_NEW_ITEM_NBR:'
|| translate(iim.item_nbr, ' &+', 'zyx') || '>'
|| iim.item_nbr
|| '</a>' item_nbr
from inv_item_master iim
...etc
Basically, in this case, translate will replace all occurrences of space with lower case z, ampersand with lowercase y, and plus sign with lowercase x.
Then, on the destination page, 2110 in this case, I "translate" "z" to a space, "y" to an ampersand, and "x" to a plus sign, in my report query on pg 2110.
I'm on VPN right now so I don't have easy access to my sources, but check the Oracle SQL reference or Google oracle translate.
Also, consider signing your post so we know who to address when we reply.
Hope this helps,

Insertion Data Containing Special Characters
Hi,
I exported my table data to an ascii file using TOAD, which created
the insert statements for me. I intend to insert these data to another database.
The problem is that the data contains some characters like single quote
and ampersand which would give problem during insertion.
Is there a way to go around this as I don't want to waste my time
changing the characters to ASCII manually.
Thanks in advance.Hi,
May be its because I am using the free version of TOAD,
"single quote" is still single quote after I export the data.
How do people normally solve this? The only way I know is
to select the data manually and at the same time replacing
single quote with 2 single quotes instead - (this would be spooled)
And this is not the only issue. Some field which has
more than 1 linefeed/carriage return might not be inserted properly also.
Sample as below:
insert into table test values
('Testing ...
Insert Data');
I inserted those data through application programs and intended
to export out the raw data and import into another database.
I am not ready to use the imp/exp utility as I don't want to
drop any tables.
Thanks in advance. -
Auto convert special characters
Good day all and thanx for your help.
CS3 & trying out CS5.
A couple of the sites I do, are written in Afrikaans, ons of the 11 official languages in South Africa.
Afrikaans makes use of characters such as ê, ë, ô, ü, é, ö and so on. I normally forget to change it in code view and make use of &... It then displays as funny characters in browser. Is there a way I can learn/tell DW to auto change my special characters or do you perhaps have a good solution or tip for me.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
DeonHi Deon,
that happens to me very often too. So I too thought it would be nice to change the special characters automatically. All I've found at that time was a payment program (in those days for CS3). It's still here after all:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Software/Macromedia_Dreamweaver/Q_22706485 .html
Meanwhile, I'll do it in another way. When I finished one of my sides, I use the "Find and Replace"-function of DW. I start searching one of the special characters and after changing them (if necessary), I only replace one character and can start a new action. Look here for example (from my German DW where we have the same problems in our language):
The general way to insert the special characters you know, I suppose. If not, here you will find a nice tutorial:

How to convert special characters like #, &, etc occuring in the input string
Hi,
I am using method 'Get' to submit a form . When ever there is any
special character like '#' in my input For example "033#Test", nothing
gets posted beyond 033.
Can any one please let me know how do I overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Moin
Moinuddin:
It seems possible your browser may be confused by the fact that 033 is
the octal representation for an ESCape character (Hex 1B). Try dropping
the leading zero. In addition, it is usually better to represent special
characters like the hash mark "#" using HTML character entities instead
of literals, i.e. # = hash mark
