Single Quotes Displaying Improperly

On certain PCs My RoboHelp HTML files display apostrophes as
question marks. Is there a way to globally change all occurences of
the character ' to the special character for single ending
quote?

MoonbaseMao -
Welcome to the forum.
You might check to see if you are using a unique font for
your apostrophe. Otherwise, you could look for those tags and do a
search and replace with
ReplaceEm or
FAR.
FAR has many other useful Help Authoring features as well,
but is not free; ReplaceEm is free, and will save your
search-n-replace routines for reuse later.

Suppress the single quote when display downloaded file in EXCEL

I have a requirement to keep all the cells contents left-justisfied when display in EXCEL. I used GUI_DOWNLOAD and concatenate a single quotes to the numeric fields in my internal table. However, when open the file in EXCEL, the single quote show up in the cell also. Anyone knows how to suppress the single quote when open in EXCEL? Here are my codes:
concatenate '''' itab-field2 into itab-field2.
modify itab.
   CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
     EXPORTING
       filename                      = 'c:test_xls.xls'
       FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
       WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR         = 'X'
     tables
       data_tab                      = itab.
Thank you,

Single quote used with in text data renders to inalid display

I have the following text snipit that is coming from an Oracle database column: ...did not include 'special decontamination'. New ...
I am putting this into a pretty standard text object. When the report is previewed and subsequently printed as a PDF each single quote is transformed to the text string &_#_3_9_; code (without the underscores). This also occurs for quotation marks appearing as &_q_u_o_t_; and ampersands appearing as &_;_a_m_p_;
I've tried changing the text interpretation property from none to rtf and, with a refresh, nothing changed. It is hard for me to believe that no one else has seen this but since you can not search the forum for this string (as it converts it to the single quote) may not one has asked.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Don,
The CLOB would do it.
Not sure there is a way around this aside from how you've already been dealing with it.
To simply your formula a bit, you don't need to do a loop just have it check for each of the tags like:
stringVar TempText := {PPR_Main.CONCERNS};
TempText := Replace (TempText, '&_#_3_9_;', "'") ;
TempText := Replace (TempText, '&_;_a_m_p_', "&") ;
TempText := Replace (TempText, '&_q_u_o_t_;', '"') ;
TempText
I agree though that there may be other tags added later on based on other characters so it could be infinite. Try the common characters like Exclamation and Question marks.
Good luck,
Brian

Problem in displaying single quotes

Hi,
I have applied the quotes but its still not working in the way I want. Like,
concatenate v_constantname '= ' ''''itab_split-constantname'''' into v_string2 separated by space.
concatenate v_linenum '= ' ''''itab_split-linenum''''
     into v_string1 separated by space.
concatenate v_string1 ' and ' v_string2 into itab_where-line separated by space.
This is the code and the concatenation is done for a dynamic where clause. The value of itab_split-linenum and itab_split-constantname should be within single quotes, e.g., it should be
C_LINE_NUM = '000047' and
C_NAME = 'CR_Z001_EMPLOYEE_COMPANY'
But it is coming like the following:
C_LINE_NUM = ' 000047 ' and
C_NAME = ' CR_Z001_EMPLOYEE_COMPANY '
There should not be any space between the value and the quotes. How to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Sangeeta.

hi Sangeetha
concatenate '''' itab_split-constantname '''' into v_string1.
concatenate '''' itab_split-linenum '''' v_string2.
concatenate v_constantname '=' v_string1 v_linenum '=' v_string2 into itab_where-line separated by space.
Hope this 1 helps.

SSAS SSRS Report Action on Cell Value w/ Embedded Single Quote Not Executing

I have configured an SSAS 2008 R2 cube SSRS ReportAction. I'm having problems when the member value for a cell has an embedded single quote, e.g. abc's. The action displays on the context menu appropriately, but when I click on the action, nothing happens.
For member values that do not have the single quote, the action works as designed. I've added a calculated ember to escape the embedded single quote by adding another single quote, e.g. abc''s, with no luck. Is there a resolution or workaround for this?

Hi Mdccuber,
According to your description, you create a reporting action in you cube, and it works fine except the members that have embedded single quote, right? In your scenario, it seems that you pass this value to the report as the parameter.
In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), when pass values to a report, multi-select parameters have to be placed into IN statement and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) will do single-quote wrapping for string values automatically. In this case, the original
value that have embedded single quote will be damaged. So this action not work. You can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.

Adding a single quote in the flash chart legend

Hi all,
I am using a following code to create a line chart.
SELECT null link
,TO_CHAR(monat, 'MON-YY')
,ROUND(No_of_hits/1000) "No of Clicks(''000)"
FROM
SELECT DISTINCT TRUNC(ref_month,'MONTH') monat
,SUM(no_of_hits) OVER (ORDER BY TRUNC(ref_month,'MONTH') RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) No_of_hits
FROM goodnews_hits
WHERE ref_month BETWEEN :p77_DATE_startline
AND :p77_DATE_endline
ORDER BY monat;
I get the following legend in the top region of the chart
No Of Stories
No of Clicks(''000)
I need the No of Clicks to be displayed as
No of Clicks('000)
i.e.
Only one single quote before 000
Could you please tell me , how this can be achieved?
Thanks,
Archana

As I said in my earlier post, I am looking for the tooltips for the Presentation tables and columns. The tooltips for these were extracted from the RPD using the externalize Strings option and these externalized strings are stored in the database.
So I am escaping the single using a single quote both in rpd and in the database.
Example text I have used both in the rpd and database is something like "Shipment's start time". I tried with "Shipment''s start time", " Shipment'''s start time", but it didn't work.
Thanks!!

Single quote in the query

Hi,
I am inserting a string literal that contains one or more single quotes. I know i have to use two single quote ('') to represent one single quote in my insert query and four single quotes('''') to show two single quotes. However, when i do a select from the table, all single quotes are escaped with a backslash in front of it (\'). This cause some problem when i display the string in html page. How can i skip the back slash and keep only the single quote in my select query? Thanks
Kim Titu

Kim,
To insert single quote or double quote string try using the ascii values as below -
CHR(34) ==> " (double quote)
CHR(39) ==> ' (single quote)
Example:
Insert into emp(EMPNAME) values(CHR(39)||'TEST'||CHR(39));
Now,
Select EMPNAME from emp;
will give you the result - 'TEST'

Reading String within the single quotes

Hi All,
Can you please let me know, how to read a String within the sinle quote in line.
I have to read a report into internal table and again from that I need to read a string within the single quote. Please help me in this.
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu

I have the following code:
REPORT test.
DATA: v_test(05) TYPE c.
v_test = TTT.
I am getting this errror:
Field TTT is unknown. It is neither kin on e of the specified tables nor defined by a DATA statement.
For some reason, my single quote is not being recognized from my keyboard. I noticed that my emotion icons are not being displayed either (example: I type and i do NOT get the smiley face on my end).
Is there a button that I pressed that caused that?

XML invalid character - a single quote problem

Hi, I am reading in an xml file, then write the file to output. The problem is that the input file has a strange single quote character [ *�* ] - lets call it single quoate A, which is different from [ *'* ] , that is the key next to the [ ; ] key on an English keyboard - lets call it single quate B. And in fact there isnt a key to input single quote A, I guess the appearance of single quote A is due to encoding.
If I open the input xml file in browser, it works ok and displays the single quote A.
Once I read in the xml file into memory, by debugging I can still see that single quote A is corrected encoded;
However once I rewrite the same content to output, the single quote A character is changed, and if i open the file in browser, it says 'invalid character' because single quote A were changed when written to output and cannot be rendered.
Both input and output xml are using UTF-8 encoding. How can I solve this problem please?
The xml file looks:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<content>....1980�s (Peacock and Williams, 1986; Keay, 1984)</content> My code for reading
String _xquery ="//content/text()";
Document _xmlDoc= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse("myxml.xml");
XPath _xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
NodeList nodes = (NodeList) _xpath.compile(query).evaluate(_xmlDoc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
List<String> res = new ArrayList<String>(nodes.getLength());
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
res.add(nodes.item(i).getNodeValue());
String valueToOuput=res.toString() //this is the value to be output to xml, it shoud look like "[....1980�s (Peacock and Williams, 1986; Keay, 1984)]"my code for writing xml
Element root=new Element("root");;
Element content= new Element("output-content")
content.setText(valueToOutput);
root.addContent(content);
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(f));
new XMLOutputter().output(domDocument, writer);
writer.close();

Hi, sorry I have fixed the problem... instead of using PrintWriter, I used Fileoutputstream, and it solved the problem. Thanks!

Single quote in url

We are using the following configuration in our env...
Sun web server 6.1 - webserver
Sun appserver 9.1 EE -application server
the application server instances are configured with the webserver via loadbalancer plugin.
If the url contains single quote (%27) the webserver redirects the GET request to a 302 and displaysthe default 404 error page in webserver's docroot
However, if the issue the same url (with %27) to the appserver, the designated web page is displayed.
To test the above..
Try the following
http://<webserver>:<port>/index.html
This displays the webserver welcome page
http://<webserver>:<port>/index.html?test=a
This displays the webserver welcome page, there is no change
Now try this
http://<webserver>:<port>/index.html?test=a%27s
This will result in the webserver doing a 302 and redirectig to the configured error page..
Why is this happening, how can we control this.. there cud be escaped single quotes in the URL, which we cannot control
regds,
Chiths

Hi,
I could not reproduce this with a standalone web server instance. I tried with Web Server 6.1 as well as 7.0 Update 2 release.
http://<Host>:<Port>/index.html?test=a%27s
shows me the index.html page fine.
I tried http://<Host>:<Port>/index.html?test=a's
as well. This also shows me index.html.
Can you check if you can reproduce with your standalone web server instance? BTW, Which SP are you using?

Unable to pass parameters in Report Bulder due to single quotes

Hello,
I have a problem with parameters in Report Bulder.
This is the query:
where task.closed_at between (@Per)
Then I need have to pass following value to @Per : DATEADD(month, -5, getdate()) and getdate()
to get following:
where task.closed_at between DATEADD(month, -5, getdate()) and getdate()
But I suppose Report Builder put the values to quotes and WHERE looks like:
where task.closed_at between 'DATEADD(month, -5, getdate()) and getdate()'
and Builder returns syntax error.
How can I solve this issue and avoid these single quotes surrounding the value?
Thank you.

Hi zotchy07,
According to your description, you have a report created use Report Builder. You want to select data according to the search condition: task.closed_at within 5, 12 or 24 months.
Please refer to the following steps to achieve your goal:
1. In design surface, right-click Parameter and click Add Parameter.
2. In Report Parameter Properties dialog box, type the name and prompt, set Data Type to Integer.
3. Click Available Values in left pane, check Specify Values.
4. Click Add, set Label to 5, Value to -5.
5. Repeat step4 above, set Label to 12, Value to -12, then Label to 24, Value to -24, then click OK.
6. Right-click the dataset you used to retrieve data and open Dataset Properties dialog box.
7. Click Filters in left pane, click Add.
8. From Expression drop down list, select closed_at and set Operator to between.
9. Click the first (fx) button and type the expression like below:
=DateAdd("m", Parameters!param_name.Value,Today())
10. Click the second (fx) button and type the expression like below, then click OK.
=Today()
In this way, when we preview the report, there are 3 selects in the parameter drop down list: 5, 12, 24. If we select 5 and click View Report, the data within 5 months will be displayed.
The following screenshots are for your reference:
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Putting Single Quote in any field

Hi All,
What is the purpose of putting ' ' (Single Quote) in any of the field?
Example:
Object:F_BKPF_BUK
Field:
ACTVT:01
BUKRS:' ' -
> What does this imply?

Hi,
what do you mean by 'single quote'? If you mean 'blank', this has the same meaning as an empty value in the field. So if the application checks for any value, but not for an empty field, the check will fail.
Regarding the docu: you can access it through some different ways, for instance in SE38->display source code of any report->press the blue 'I' infobutton->enter ABAP key-word authority-check, select authority-check->abap statement, enjoy the documentation.

Live Office single quote

Good day,
If I pull webi content into excel using live office, all my text values are prefaced by an apostrophe and a new line - Char(10).
If I base an xcelsius dashboard on this data, values display the extra empty line.
How do I get rid of the extra line? Char() and Clean() are unsupported functions in xcelsius.

Hi,
We are having the same issue as you with the single quote appearing in our values displayed in excel. Did you ever resolve this issue?

Way 3. solutionadvisorentry.label4=Don\\'t worry.Why should that display "Don't worry" when there isn't a single-quote character?
Did you try

Stripping out single quotes

I pull names of businesses from a query and some of them have
single quotes in the name. I do a cfoutput query and embed those
results inside a google map. For some reason the businesses that
have the quotes will not display so I need to strip them out.
What's the best way to do this?

cf also has JSStringFormat() function that will escape quotes
in a text
string, making it js-safe...
