Special characters in RSKC

Hi there,
I have some special characters that I need in my BW to be accepted both in lowercase and uppercase. It is special eastern European letter that are contained in my customer data (names and addresses).
When I enter a lowercase character in RCKS it is automatically converted into uppercase. Is it sufficient to enter the character in uppercase for the load to accept both lowercase and uppercase of the character?
Kind regards, Torben

Hi Torben,
RSKC accept capital letters. But you can force the system to accept lowercase letters. For it you need to check 'Lowercase letters' in the infoobject maintenance screen.
However, ODS and cubes will not accept these lowercase letters if you feed them as infoobjects' key values. The most flexible way to keep texts with lowercase letters in infoobjects' texts and show them in queries as attributes or texts of IOs.
Best regards,
Eugene

I donu2019t understand what invalid character it is containing
Apart from this I am getting error for the special character u201C|u201D
How to use both the special characters at RSKC
Please suggest
Thank you

Hi,
According to me ZCOITEMTX is not allowing lower case. you can check for this infoobject in RSD1, at General tab Lowercase Letter check box is check or not?
this will solve your issue.

RSKC Special characters

Hi,
Actually in RSKC there is special character like #.But while loading the data will struckup in NEW DATA itself.Field containing the # key record and that data packet will struck up there only.

Hi,
As a long term you can apply some user exit in source system side or change your update rules to ensure that this field is getting blanked out before getting loaded in cube or add that particular char to permitted character list in BW.
RSKC --> type ALL_CAPITAL --> F8 (Execute)
OR
Go to SE38 and execute the program RSKC_ALLOWED_CHAR_MAINTAIN and give ALL_CAPITAL or the char you want to add.
Check the table RSALLOWEDCHAR. It should contain ALL_CAPITAL or the char you have entered.

Error in PSA with special characters

Hello,
I'm having a problem with sprecial characters in PRD system.
This happen with standard extractor for Confirmations in SRM module, 0BBP_TD_CONF_1.
I have 5 records with error in PSA. The field that have the error is 0bbp_delref and it has the text: GUIA ENTREGA Nº2.
The error message says that field OBBP_DELREF has special characters that are not supported by BW.
The field is char 16 and in spro I have the characters:
QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLÇªNºZXCVBM/~^´`* '()"#$%&!?.-0123456789Â«»<>
In QUA, I created confirmations with this text and it worked fine and the characters in SPRO are the same.
Any idea?
Thanks and best regards,
Maria

Hi Maria,
There will be no issue with update rules as the issue is with Data..
ALL_CAPITAL should resolve your issue, .otherwise try individually executing those spl characters in RSKC..
have you tried in SPRO...
Check in this table RSALLOWEDCHAR in SE11 and find what all characters allowed(permitted) in PRD system...
please go through the above mentioned blog once
Thanks,

Special Characters Issue

Hi,
I am trying to load text data from a flat file which has some special characters in the text description like ö ø æ ü å. I have entered this in RSKC. Now when I look in the preview these characters are replaced by this symbol #. Can you help me out in figuring out what I am doing wrong and if there is anything I should be doing. I have loaded the same data in North America BW instance and it works fine. Now when I do the same in Europe system it is giving me the above error.Europe is on a unicode system whereas North America is not. May be if this helps.
Thanks,

Special characters problem

I am having the file-xi-proxy inerface.
In the input file i have one field called "description"(50 in length). The vendor is
giving the input file with special characters in the description field. XI is able to
read the file. BUt during the mapping it is failing ( no transformation I am using.
Just it is a one to one mapping). HOw to pass the message through XI without failing
I am using file type as text and file encoding as UTF-8
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Regards
kumar

Hi Palnati,
You could try to replace this characters with the help of a
user defined function or xslt mapping....
the special characters are '#' and '=' .. If so you can add them in RSKC ..
And then load from the PSA to your data target ..
Have a look at this thread...

Special characters errors

Hi,
what should be done if any errors raise due to special characters.what to be done in RSKC? please tell me the steps clearly taking an example..
thanks in advance,
jack

Hi,
1. Pass the Value ' ALL_CAPITAL' in RSKC this should resolve minor issues with special characteristics
2. Copy the Word with special Characteristics and Past it in RSKC and execute
this will resolve the issue when ever this word is appeared while data loading
Further if it does not resolve your issue
you need to write a routine in Rules /Transformations to handle the special characteristics using function Module CALL FUNCTION 'RSKC_ALLOWED_CHAR_GET'.

How many special charcters in RSKC

Hi Guru,s.
Could any one tell me, how many special characters we can enter in RSKC, which have been asked in the interview.
Regards.
Harry

Anyway, just a personal comment...
(Starting from my multi-years BI experience) I'm sometimes involved in some recruiting interview in my company, but, onestly, asking how many special characters you can put in RSKC transaction (instead of asking what is the purpose of this transaction) is really a stupid question (maybe good for a BW version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire...)
All my sympathy to all BW novices !

XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

Hello,
I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Do anyone have a solution for this

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

FindNode returning Null And XML Not Accepting Special Characters

First of all you have to supply a value you want to search for and this has to be the complete path to the value. You're saying you already tried that, but can you paste the code which you used for that? I don't see the path mentioned in the code you posted.
*FindNode*
Syntax
FindNode(Path)
Description
Use the FindNode method to return a reference to an XmlNode.
The path is specified as the list of tag names, to the node that you want to find, each separated by a slash (/).
Parameters
Path
Specify the tag names up to and including the name of the node that you want returned, starting with a slash and each separated by a slash (/). This is known as the XPath query language.>
Another option would be this snippet of code:
&InfoCFDiArray = GetElementsByTagName("ns4:InfoCFDi");
&InfoCFDiNode = &InfoCFDiArray [1];
&attValue = &InfoCFDiNode.GetAttributeValue("noCertificadoSAT")
Warning(&attValue);
It creates an array of XML Nodes which match the name "ns4:InfoCFDi". Since there's only one in the XML it's safe to assume it will be the one and only node in the array. I've assigned that node to the variable &InfoCFDiNode and use that to retrieve the attribute "noCertificadoSAT" value. The warning message should display the value supplied there.
Concering the special characters; you will have to change the encoding of the XML. Peoplecode sets this to UTF-8 by default, but doesn't include this in the header. There's a little hack for that somewhere on the web, I'll see if I can find it.

Need help in using replace function with special characters

I have a column in a table where the data can contain ascii code for special characters such as an apostrophe.
The data looks like this:
CREEK'S LANE
ie for a street named CREEK'S LANE.
I want to replace the ascii representation with the apostrophe and have the returned data show up as: CREEK's LANE
When I try the query below I get prompted for substitution variable value.
I don't seem to be able to find the right syntax to make this query work.
SELECT REPLACE (street_name, ''', '''')
FROM
streets WHERE street_id = 1
Does anybody know how to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

GeorgeHa! The codes you specified rendered in the HTML, but showed properly when I listed your original posting above. I didn't understand what you meant initially because the 5-character string represenation got rendered as the quote that you said you weren't able to get - a display problem.
You're getting prompted for the substituon variable because of the ampersand; you appear to be doing this in SQL*PLUS. The first thing I would try is to SET DEFINE OFF when using the ampersands to see if that works. If That doesn't work check the docs to delmit the ampersand (I think its a backslash before it but can't remember offhand). Another, harder option might be to use the TRANSLATE function replacing the literal character instead of using REPLACE (though replacing a quote will be a little tricky). If you're on 10g also consider using the advanced quoting
Good luck!
