Special Char (CR or LF) in text. I cant determine and remove !!! (4.6c)

Hi friends.
i have a custom raport program that gets data from custom table and download it using fm DOWNLOAD.
There is a text(40) field in the table. in a row, there are a few special character on this field (CR, LF or both).
When i download to excel file, the row is splitted two or more lines because of that character.
I can see the "#" character when i debugging.
I tried some methods to remove that but i cant do it.
methods are i tried :
replace '#' with space into X.    "DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING
search X for '#'.    "DOES NOT FINDS ANYTHING
translate X with '# '.   "DOES NOT DO ANYTHING
i used SF_SPECIALCHAR_DELETE   fm, but it didnt work.
do you have any ide ???
my system info :
SAP 4.6c with patch level 48

Hi,
'#' is just a representation in ABAP Debugger. It doesn't exists.
You can use ascii code for carriage return.
Try this:
CONSTANTS: c_cr type x value '0D'.
replace c_cr with space into X.
There are CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF also, but I don't know if it is available in 4.6.

Frisoni

Thanks for your response….
This is enhancement project and some one develops long back.
Regarding point (b) You should be using the java.net.URLEncoder to encode URL parameters, not a base64 encoder.
DocumentSummarizerClient.java I am using base64
Ex:
// String encoded =new String (summaryInputData.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
                    String encoded=Base64Utils.base64Encode(summaryInputData.getBytes());
               // encoded =new String (summaryInputData.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
                    String parameters= "base64String="+encoded+"&noOfWordsOrPercentage="+noOfWordsOrPercentage;
                    summarizedData= postRequest(parameters,summarizerURL);
                    String slength= "<string xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\">";
                    if(summarizedData.contains("</string>")){

                         summarizedData="Data given cannot be summarized further";
Above specific please I need to modify to resolve above issue.
Could you please suggest me what changes I need to do.
Waiting for positive response.

How can I Retrieve special chars from a HTTP Request??

Hi,
I want to retrieve special chars from a request
Chars like accents used in spanish languages or symbols?
Is there any way to do it
Thanks in advance
Alejandro Arredondo

This is my problem
For example:
This is my form:
<form>
<input type="text" name="test">
</form>
I do write a char on the text area. Something like "?" or "?"
or some words with accents
When I retrieve the value with
String value = request.getParameter("test");
and print it
out.println("TEST= " + test);
It prints another symbol that isn't the one I sent in my form.
why?
Thanks

Attachment having Umlaut or special chars are shown as =2Epdf?=

Very often I receive Mails containing attachments that look like this:
=?utf-8?Q?Assetplanung_=E2=80=9ECelebrity-2007-09=E2=80=9C=2Epdf?=
They all have in common that the names of the attachment contain umlauts like ÖÄÜ or special chars like ".
Every other mail client I tried, like entourage, thunderbird, our kerio webmail applicaton shows the attachment in the right way, but mail fails miserably.
It does not matter to send the mail as a windows attachment or to choose any other format like plain text or so.
As I have learned this problem has nothing to do with html formatting but is caused by something called quoted-printable...
Any help for this one anywhere?
regards
Oliver

As noone seems to have a clue, I try to solve it on my own.
The current mailversion is lame and poor and is the cause for this problem.
The following things have to come together to reproduce this problem.
A mail needs an attachment its name must contain special chars like äöü or something like " and its name must exceed 32 letters including its file extension.
Bang, you receive a mail with a garbeld attachments like mentioned in the message above.
The 10.5 Mailversion seems to be fixed, all previous versions contain this bug. Entourage does not have it, Thunderbird does not have it, not one serious mail application has this bug. Please note this: I mentioned Entourage and serious in one sentence... But even this app is better..

Spliting a large string using regular expression which contain special char

I have huge sting(xml) containing normal character a-z,A-Z and 0-9 as well as special char( <,>,?,&,',",;,/ etc.)
I need to split this sting where it ends with </document>
for e.g.
Original String:
<document>
<item>sdf</item>
<item><text>sd</text</item>
</document>
<document>hi</document>
The above sting has to be splited in to two parts since it is having two document tag.
Can any body help me to resolve this issue. I can use StringTokenizer,String split method or Regular expression api too.

I used DOM and sax parser and got few exception. Again i don't have right to change xml. so i thought to go with RegularExpression or some other way where i can do my job.If the file actually comes in lines like what you posted, you should just be able to compare the contents of each line to see if it contains "</document>" or whatever you're looking for. I wouldn't use regex unless I needed another problem.
I got excpetion like: Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.
     at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown Source)
     at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.fatalError(Unknown Source)
     at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source)So then it isn't even XML.
Edit: sorry, I just realized why you're considering all of these heavy-duty ideas. It's just that you don't know how to break the string into lines. You do it like this:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(theNotXMLString));

Verify special char is in String before append into StringBuffer

I have following code to verify A special char "X" is in the String before continue adding it to a StringBuffer:
private boolean veriChar(String poem){
if(peom.indexOf("X")==-1) return false;// make sure X is in the String
return true
However, if I only want a single X in String to return true, any method to use? for example: poem=" EXTRA TEXT" (2 Xes here) needs to be rejected to be false.

take this code compile it and see for yourself.
public class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
    Test t = new Test();
    System.out.println(""+t.veriChar("MATT"));
    System.out.println(""+t.veriChar("MAX"));
    System.out.println(""+t.veriChar("MAXX"));
private boolean veriChar(String toCheck){
    return!((toCheck.indexOf("X")<0)||(toCheck.indexOf("X")!=toCheck.lastIndexOf("X")));
} you will see that the first and third ones return false and the second returns true which is as you want.
now an explanation of what is happening.
the method looks like this
private boolean veriChar(String toCheck){
    return!((toCheck.indexOf("X")<0)||(toCheck.indexOf("X")!=toCheck.lastIndexOf("X")));
}first we check if the special X or whatever exists in the string at all
toCheck.indexOf("X")<0;this returns true for the first test of MATT
now we check if the last occurance in our string of the special X is the same position as the first occurance. if it is then we have only one special X. if not then we have more than one special X.
toCheck.indexOf("X")!=toCheck.lastIndexOf("X")note that we check for not equals so that for MAX it returns false and for MAXX it returns true
so now we have our answers but they are inverted from what we want so we put the ! which gives the boolean opposite. so that the MAX returns true and the other two return false.

Getting parameters from URL: use of Special Chars

I'm unable to retrieve the Special Chars from URL parameters. Does someone have an idea where to look for?
Examples where no Special Chars is retrieved :
...App?param=Aménagement
...App?param=Am<é>nagement
...App?param=Am%E9nagement
I'm using this code :
          IWDProtocolAdapter protocolAdapter =
               WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
          IWDRequest request = protocolAdapter.getRequestObject();
                                String param = request.getParameter("param");
Thanks!

okay, So if I use :
...App?param=Am%E9+nagement
How would you then integrate URLDecoder.decode in the following code?
IWDProtocolAdapter protocolAdapter =
     WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter();
IWDRequest request = protocolAdapter.getRequestObject();
String param = request.getParameter("param");

How to replace special characters in Purchase order item text in ECC 6.0

Hi All,
Now i am working in ECC environment.
I am unable to replace the special characters in the PO short text for example take the following text.
Job#Burst Fire 3930-00092#Heater Control
here i want to replace # symbol with space.
i used replace all occurences, find , transfer, overlay keywords to replace thta special characte but it is not replacing that character.
i used replace_string FM also.it is also not working.
please help me out in this. points will be rewarded.

Hi Praveena,
what replacement(s) did you try?
Please
replace all occurrences of
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>newline
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>cr_lf
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>form_feed
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>horizontal_tab
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>vertical_tab
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>backspace
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>minchar
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>maxchar
minchar is HEX u201900u2018 in non-Unicode systems, U+0000 in Unicode systems
maxchar is HEX Xu2018FFu2018 in non-Unicode systems, U+FFFD in Unicode systems
If it still does not help, check the remaining # characters in debugger, switching to hex mode: Then you may see what it is.

Clemens

Dealing with MS Word special chars

Hi,
Is there a java.String method (or similar) which will replace MS Word special chars - such as "culry apostrophes" - with HTML compliant versions?
cheers
Hugh
Edited by: inabind on Aug 11, 2008 7:39 AM

Yes. Oddly enough their names start with "replace".
But you don't necessarily need to convert the left curly quote to ߡ or whatever it converts to. You could also use UTF-8 as your HTML's encoding and just leave that character as is.

Problem with special chars in BLOB datatype using contains keyword

Facing problem, when part searching with special chars in BLOB datatype. It is considering the non alpha-numeric chars as a separtor in a provided string
EX:
SELECT *
FROM RESUME_TEST P,grst_candidate d
WHERE d.candidate_id = p.candidate_id
AND CONTAINS(P.CAND_RESUME,'%VB.NET%',1) > 0
Strings: , VB.NET , PL/SQL AS/400 , C etc..
Followed the below approaches
1) created a table:
Syntax: create table resume_Test(cand_id number(10),cand_resume blob);
2) inserted the values into this table upto 60,000
3) created a context index
3.1 created preferences
Syntax:
BEGIN
ctx_ddl.create_preference('try_lexer3','BASIC_LEXER');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('try_lexer3','printjoins','-_~!@#$%^&*(){}[],=?\;|><.+');
END;
3.2 created context index
Syntax:
CREATE INDEX CANDRESUME_CTX_IDX ON resume_test (cand_resume)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ('LEXER try_lexer3 memory 500M');
4) while executing this index, it is taking much time approx 6 hrs(plz explain why it is taking time)
5) Problems:
5.1 when searching with string(VB.NET , PL/SQL AS/400 , C etc..) it is considering the special char as a separator
5.2 used escape char (\) also, but no effect
5.3 when searching with single char, it is giving error (ORA-29902,ORA-20000,DRG-51030)
5.4 getting the above error with wild card chars (& ,_, (),{},[])
So, please explain the clear scenarios, why am getting this error , and how to get the proper results.

Have you tried adding the / char to the printjoin characters?
Indexing can take a lot of time, depending on the amount of data and your machine's power. You could try to parallelize the index creation and / or assign more memory
CREATE INDEX CANDRESUME_CTX_IDX ON resume_test (cand_resume)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ('LEXER try_lexer3 memory 2000M') PARALLEL 8;

OUTBOUND XML FILE CONTAINS SPECIAL CHARS AFTER SP08 UPGRADE

Experts,
Recently MDM server upgraded to SP08 from SP05.
In our outbound interface scenario we have 1 hierarchy field. The hierarchy field mapped as complete path(parent to Child)
ex: 1,Parent > 11,Child > 111,Child > 1111,Child.
In SP05 XML files are generating correctly & PI also dont have any issues while passing this data to ECC.
After SP08 Server pack upgrade, xml file generating like below:
1??, ??Parent??, ???>?11??, ??Child??, ???>?111??, ??Child??, ???>?1111??, ??Child??, ???
If open the xml file in non ASCC editor I could able to see these special chars. Due to this ISSUE PI could not processing xml files.
All XML files are failing& blocking in PI.
Could you let me know what needs to be done at MDM or PI level.
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks
Audinarayana

Hello,
Please check the Destination preview in the syndicator.
So an syndication on the local machine, open the XML in an Browser, to see check for the special characters.
If every things is ok, then just place the file in the outbound ready folder.
If not then, raise an OSS message with SAP, as this a latest release, error resolution would be best provided by SAP

Abhishek

Page encoding / charset / special chars / NON-ASCII chars

Whenever special characters are used in our environment, the data is stored incorrect ...
® gets converted to Â®
and other special chars gets converted to other special chars ... the strange thing is that some inputText fields in some pages work just fine ..chars dont get converted and it happend in some other many pages ...not sure whats going on ..I tried to change the charset or the pageEncoding of the pages or even manually using the setPageEncoding in the reequest and in the response ..with no luck ...when I print the request params ..the values are converted, so ma not sure at what stage the string get converted and how to prevent it ...
Charset of the jsp-page is UTF-8. Need help here please.
Thanks.

You must verify that all resources are in UTF-8. There are a couple of places you have to check:
Compiler encoding
Embedded OC4J JSP Compiler options
Project settings
After that it worked for me.

RDF Report Output Got Displayed in Special Chars

Team,
RDF report output is getting displayed in special chars.
when i query the data from SQL Developer, the data is displayed fine.
But when the data is displayed in the report the characters(single quotes, double quotes) are not displayed properly, they are displayed in a special char.
why it is happening so . Is it related any font missing ? Plz do let me know.
thanks
sridhar

(single quotes, double quotes) These are probably not really single and double quotes. Check the ASCII value.
drop table ttest;
create table ttest (col1 varchar2(10));
insert into ttest values ('''Quote''');
insert into ttest values ('"Quote"');
select * from ttest;
select dump(col1) from ttest;
Table dropped.
Table created.
1 row created.
1 row created.
COL1
'Quote'
"Quote"
2 rows selected.
DUMP(COL1)
Typ=1 Len=7: 39,81,117,111,116,101,39
Typ=1 Len=7: 34,81,117,111,116,101,34
2 rows selected.

Special Char (CR or LF) in text. I cant determine and remove !!! (4.6c)
