Problem printing Special Characters in Smartform

Hi,
I am developing a Smartform for Position Description. For that I have to display data from table HRT1002 as the data in this table is stored using Text Editor the data internally is stored in '#' when there is a enter, space or some special Characters. While displaying this data I have used class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES -->HORIZONTAL_TAB to make '#' to it original value in my internal table.
After using the Class the data has been converted into the correct format, but while printing few special characters like ", ' , .. etc are been printed as # where as in my internal table they are not in # format. How can I change the # to it original Character while printing.

Error while releasing transport request - Special character "_" in generic

Hi all,
we're receiving the error Special character "_" in generic key when releasing a best practice transport.
Note 1304725 describes my error, but the solution cannot be implemented. The reason for this is that we do not have an individual entry for eacht yb_PS,..,
but we have only one entry where field BWERT has a wildcard '*' as entry.
Does anyone has some idea how to solve this ?
kind regards !

Hello Bjorn,
How did you get this solved?
I'm having nearly the same issue:
A custom-table with a total key lenght of about 365 characters. As soon as I enter a special character (_) in the key field just before the position 120, the message tk287 rejects the entry. Entering the special character in a key field at about key position
60, there's no message rejecting the entry.
Regards

Error "TK287" when releasing a request - Special character "_" is invalid.

I have some tables in Solution Manager and having some warnings:
Table: CRM_SVY_DB_ST
Field value:CRM_SVY_GENERATE_BSP_TEMPLATE.XSLT
Field: TRANSFORMATIONID
It doesn´t accept the special character "_"
Below the error when releasing and the explanation of the error in the sequence.

Diagnosis
The generic key 300DSWPCI_ISSUE_FDBCK 0000000000DCRM_ was entered for the object CRM_SVY_DB_ST. All keys that match up to the asterisk are to be transported.
The key cannot have any special characters before the asterisk, since they are interpreted in different ways by different database systems.
The key contains the special character _.
System Response
The entry is rejected.
Procedure

File Adapter - special character in Filename

Hi,
i have a question concerning file adapter.
Scenario: we are polling files via file sender adapter (FTP).
Problem: if the filename contains a special character, an error is thrown with 'The System cannot find the file specified'
Scope: Special character in filename (not in payload)
Installed: XI 3.0 SP 19 on Linux
Questions:
- what FTP implementation does XI use?
- What do i have to check/upgrade to unicode?
- is it an OS problem or an Java problem or a XI problem?
- or is it not possible copiing files with special characters in filename?
Thank you very much in advance.
Michael

Hi Michael,
The file/FTP adapter supports both passive and active FTP data connection. You can select the data connection while configuring the adapter.
The file/FTP adapter follows specification RFC 959. The specification can be found on the Internet under www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt.
For FAQs about the file/FTP adapter, see SAP Note 821267. Please note that you'll need an account to log in on service.sap.com.
Question: How are you specifiying the file name? i.e. Are you using placeholders, like ?, *, *.txt, etc ?
If there's a problem with the filenames, then it should be a problem in the JAVA implementation of the adapter I assume. So you could for instance build your own adapter extension to by-pass that problem.
Just for your information; I haven't encounter a problem with filenames in other projects.
Good luck!

How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

Orchestration exception:Exception occurred when persisting state to the database because of special character ' ' in HL7 message.

In some scenarios HL7 message is coming with special character ‘’ and HL7 dis-assembler escaping this character with “”. But while sending out (pass thru pipeline but orchestration trying to persist here at last sendshape.) from orchestration

As per the analysis , Orchestration is unable to convert to xml document from a

Need to prevent special character in generated XML file

Hello,
I am using E-business Suite 12.1.3 and XML version 5.6.3.
My XML file is ending up with a special character (a Latin capital letter U with circumflex) at the end, after the final closing tag.
Due to this the concurrent program that needs to output the XML is ending with warning.
My XML file is produced using a PL/SQL procedure, as follows (I've simplified it):
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<DOCS>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<LETTER>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<EMP_NAME>Michaela Hart</EMP_NAME>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</LETTER>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</DOCS>');
But when I run the concurrent request that creates the output then try to view the output in Internet Explorer I get the following error:
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://servername.domain...
</DOCS>
If I view the source of the page in Internet Explorer it shows a square after </DOCS> indicating the special character that has been added.
I checked this by looking at the output file in unix (cat -v o7766582.req) and it showed up the Latin U character.
I realise it could be to do with the character set I am using. I checked what we had on the server:
> echo $NLS_LANG
American_America.UTF8
I would have thought that corresponded with the XML declaration character set but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any other ideas about why I have this special character, and how it could be removed?
Thanks in advance,
Hazel

Hi AlexAnd,
thanks very much for your reply.
I'm now unable to recreate the problem since dbms_xmlgen worked. If I switch back to my previous method it works fine!
I'm not sure your suggestion would help, as there were no special characters in the data, the special character was added after the last tag I output. I hard coded the data (as in my example) for testing purposes so there was no SQL in use and the special character was still added at the end of the XML output. But I will definitely give it a try if I get the problem again.
I had the idea that maybe I should have been using FND_FILE.PUT rather than FND_FILE.PUT_LINE but now the error is gone I can't tell if that would have solved the problem either.
I appreciate your input.
Regards
Hazel

Special character in some of the employee records

Hi,
I have found special character in some of the employee records which is causing some reports to error out. Our instance is configured for English language and these special characters are unrecognized by the application. I have attached some employee names with the special character below.
Request you to please look into this and reply ASAP.
===
Employee Number      Full Name
1278     M_ü_ller-Seydlitz, Mrs Hilda Suzanne
1009     Evas, Mrs Sîan* Elynda
===

first you need to create a database function like the one below.
the query to identify those records is then the below:
select full_name from per_people_x
where is_not_valid_text(full_name) = 'N'
you can use the function also to verify other fields like addresses and so on.
the corrective action according to me should be a manual one, meaning open the form and update the names not compliant.
thanks
regards
create or replace
function is_not_valid_text (p_text in varchar2) return varchar2 is
v_is_valid varchar2(100) := 'Y';
v_length number := length(p_text);
begin
for i in 1 .. v_length loop
if not ( -- allowed char
ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) between 65 and 90 -- from A to Z
or ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) between 97 and 122 -- from a to z
or ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) = 32
or ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) = 46
) then
v_is_valid := 'N';
exit;
end if;
end loop;
return v_is_valid;
end is_not_valid_text;
