Special Character appearing as ? through VI editor

Hi
In one of the data conversions I am loading data into the custom table from CSV file. When I am transferring CSV file to Unix to run SQL*Loader then VI editor is showing Japanese characters as "?".
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Vishalaksha

Hi,
When I am transferring CSV file to Unix to run SQL*Loader then VI editor is showing Japanese characters as "?".I believe this is an expected behavior on Unix OS when you try to view non-English characters, and there is nothing to worry about here. Try to load the data to your tables from the CSV file and see if you can view the data then (try with a test table first and/or on a test instance to verify).

Reg: Special Character Appearing in Excel O/P.

I am getting excel output generated via an Oracle report (CSV format). In the excel output, I am getting a special character for TAB (Chr9, a box). Since user wants to sort the data, because of this character they are not able to sort data in sheet properly.
Can anyone suggest what could cause this special character to appear in the report output? I am looking from layout perspective also. Is this has something to do with the printing style applied to the concurrent program?
Thanks In advance.

I had the same problem and this is what I did, works great. You have the total control.
function BeforeReport return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
-- creating a file name
:CP_filename := 'C:\Gap'||to_char(sysdate,'MMDDYYHHMISS')||'.csv';
-- Opening the file in write mode
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'w');
-- writing the column headings into the file
text_io.put_line(fp,'"Platform","Sys#","GapType",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
and then where ever it is suitable, depending on the requirement, write into file by opening it in the append mode.
function R_G_systemplatformFormatTrigge return boolean is
fp text_io.file_type;
begin
-- srw.message(99,:dname);
fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'a');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || :systemplatform || '",');
text_io.put(fp,'"' || to_char(:sysno) || '",');
text_io.put_line(fp,'"' || :CF_gaptype || '",');
text_io.fclose(fp);
return (TRUE);
end;
This works great. Hope this helps.

Error in XSLT Mapping when special character is passed through

Hi Experts,
We have used the XSLT mapping. When ever any special character like é is being passed, then the below mentioned error is displayed in the Integration engine.
Error occurred during XSLT mapping of the application
It is working fine with normal case if we are not sending any special character.
I am not sure whether the problem exists in XSLT mapping or the issue with the legacy system?
Early response would be highly appreciated and points will be awarded.
Thanks in Advance,

Can I make a special character appear when typing? (Part 2)

Hi there
I am now working on an extended version of the issue describes in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3147856#3147856
The new field should hold digits in the format 9999-99999-99999-99, and I would like the hyphens to appear automatically when typing. I tried to modify the script I used before, but I can't get it to work properly. Can someone tell me, what I'm doing wrong?
My modified script looks this way:
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\-]/) == null)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 4)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 5 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 4)
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 10)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 11 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 10)
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 16)
    xfa.event.change = "";
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 17 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 16)
    xfa.event.change = "-" + xfa.event.change; }
    var vMax = 16; if (xfa.event.newText.indexOf("-") != -3)
    vMax = 19;
But it only makes the hyphen at 17th character appear automatically.
I hope to hear from you.

Can I make a special character appear when typing?

Hi everybody.
I have a form with a text field provided with a validation script, which allows the user only to enter values in the format 999999-9999. The script is places on the exit event.
var myRegex = /\d{6}\-\d{4}/;
var
singleDigits = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
If the format is not correct, the user will get an error-message.
Now I would like the hyphen to appear automatically when typing. That means when the user has typed 123456 it will display as 123456-, ready to enter the last four characters.
Is that possible.
Kirstine
P.S. I know I can make that (almost) happen if I make the field a numeric field, but for several reasons this is not an option.

Here is a little script that can do what you are looking for..
Place the script in the Change event of the Text Field and set the Max chars property to 11 for the Text Field.
// restrict entry to digits and a dash
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\-]/) == null)
    xfa.event.change = "";
// Allow the hyphen at the 7th character only
if (xfa.event.change == "-" && xfa.event.selEnd != 6)
    xfa.event.change = "";
// If the 7th character is a digit, and they're typing at the end, insert the hyphen
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9]/) != null &&
    xfa.event.newText.length == 7 &&
    xfa.event.selEnd == 6)
    xfa.event.change = "-" + xfa.event.change;
// don't allow any characters past 10 (11 with a hyphen)
var vMax = 10;
if (xfa.event.newText.indexOf("-") != -1)
    vMax = 11;
Thanks

Special character issue while loading data from SAP HR through VDS

Hello,
We have a special character issue, while loading data from SAP HR to IdM, using a VDS and following the standard documentation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09fa547-f7c9-2b10-3d9e-da93fd15dca1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
French accent like (é,à,è,ù), are correctly loaded but Turkish special ones (like : Ş, İ, ł ) are transformed into u201C#u201D in Idm.
The question is : does someone know any special setting to do in the VDS or in IdM for special characters to solve this issue??
Our SAP HR version is ECC6.0 (ABA/BASIS7.0 SP21, SAP_HR6.0 SP54) and we are using a VDS 7.1 SP5 and SAP NW IdM 7.1 SP5 Patch1 on oracle 10.2.
Thanks

We are importing directly to the HR staging area, using the transactions/programs "HRLDAP_MAP", "LDAP" and "/RPLDAP_EXTRACT", then we have a job which extract data from the staging area to a CSV file.
So before the import, the character appears correctly in SAP HR, but by the time it comes through the VDS to the IDM's temporary table, it becomes "#".
Yes, our data is coming from a Unicode system.
So, could it be a java parameter to change / add in the VDS??
Regards.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Unquoted special character error

Am reading data from a file and parsing through it using StringTokenizer. I am putting the data into DB2 tables and therefore need to set the integer and fraction count for decimal numbers so they won't abend the program if they are over the DB2 setting. I am calling an internal method with the following line:
pstmt_master.setDouble(23, formatDecimal(token, decForm));
where token is the value to interpret and decForm is the pattern to apply, in this case it is:
"###########0.####;-###########0.####"
The method that is called is:
public double formatDecimal(String numStr, String format) {
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US);
     double intdbl = 0;
     if (nf instanceof DecimalFormat) {
          ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(0);
          nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(12);
          nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(0);
          nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(4);
          nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(0);
          DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
          df.applyPattern(numStr);
          Double db = new Double(numStr);
          double dbl = db.doubleValue();
          BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(dbl);
          db = new Double(df.format(bd.doubleValue()));
          intdbl = db.doubleValue();
     return intdbl;
I am trimming the value (token), and for the purposes of debugging this problem have done a println on the value which is the number just before the error below. Can anyone offer any help as to why I am getting this error?
By the way, this is not the first value passed through the method, it successfully handles about 10 values before abending on this value.
51050
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unquoted special character '0' in pattern "51050"
     at java.text.DecimalFormat.applyPattern(DecimalFormat.java:1334)
     at java.text.DecimalFormat.applyPattern(DecimalFormat.java:1208)
     at JavaAgent.formatDecimal(JavaAgent.java:758)

     at lotus.domino.AgentBase.runNotes(AgentBase.java:161)
     at lotus.domino.NotesThread.run(NotesThread.java:203)

I'm thinking that this line:
df.applyPattern(numStr);should read
df.applyPattern(format);You appear to be passing the number as the pattern.

Problem with CONVERT_OTF, special character '-' printing not properly

Hi experts,
when printing PO item text; in Print Preview, text displays correctly. But in program by using 'CONVERT_OTF' FM output is converting into PDF and this PDF is send it to the PO creator through mail, In the PDF present in the mail, the special character ' - ' is not displaying properly; i.e the special character ' - ' is replaced by ' ' space. For the text we are using Text editor and Font family is 'COURIER' , device type is 'PDF'. And also i tried with different Font fammilies, for that it beheaves differently but not displays as it is the special character ' - '.
Thanks and regards
Aumprakasharya T

Hi,
Which device type is used to create the PDF? i.e. which deivce type is used in the OTF data that is converted to PDF? If you use device type PDFUC or SWINCF, then it should work fine. (see SAP not #999712 about unicode PDF conversion)

Aidan

How to know the Special character?

I am using Release 10.2.0.1.0 version of oracle. I am getting a special character, but i suspect it as any other language caharacter.
Its appearing in my 'TOAD editor/Sql prompt editor' as 'A?'. but when i am selecting it from the table using below query, its giving 'No rows Returned'.
select id from tab1 where id like 'A%';
Please let me know, how can i be able to see the exact character or which editor will enable me to see the character?

Check whether your system is Unicde enabled or not?
Because in Unicode system there is a chance to get such type of Unwanted special characters.

Special characters into datagrid through the use of buttons

Hi!
I have a datagrid for word input, I'm trying to create a "special characters" panel, kind of like google's new "virtual keyboard" thing on google.com, so that the user can enter data into the datagrid cells using characters that aren't on their keyboards.
I manage to do this just fine, using the solution below. I know this is probably not the best/most effective way to do this, so any suggestions for making the code better will be appreciated. I only started using Flex a month ago.
grid.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGIN, selectColumn)
function selectColumn(event:DataGridEvent):void
var selectedColumn:DataGridColumn = grid.columns[event.columnIndex];
selCol = selectedColumn.dataField;
//The function for adding a special character to the selected datagrid column by clicking a button:
//(inputWordArray is the dataprovider for the grid called "grid" )
protected function clickSomeButton(event:MouseEvent):void
var colIndex:int = new int;
if (selCol == "from"){
inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].from = inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].from + "æ";
colIndex = 0;
else if (selCol == "to"){
colIndex = 1;
inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].to = inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].to + "æ";
inputWordArray.refresh();
grid.dispatchEvent(new DataGridEvent(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING, false, false, colIndex, null, grid.selectedIndex));
The problem is that this only adds a letter at the end of the selected item's value, not at a specific position within the word specified by the position of the cursor. This is what I need to achieve. I have no idea even what to search for, if anyone could please give me a hint that'd be great.

You will probably need to capture the editor's selectionBeginIndex and
selectionEndIndex
