Need to add special characters in sap scripts

Hi All,
I need to add special characters in sap script.
I have used them as it is my script,but in the print preview i am able to see '#' instead of those special characters.Can anybody please tell me the way in which we can add special characters in the scripts.
eg. 'Shlesha' i.e. name in inverted colons.
Thanks

Hi
If # is coming means, that is the problem with the printer. I think u might have used your local printer to see the print preview.
Don't use LOCL or LP01. Our local printer won't recognize those characters.
Just change the printer name to client printer name. It will work.

Special characters as keys - Unicode BW system

Hello together,
we want to change our SAP BW System 3.5 to Unicode and afterwards we plan the upgrade to BI 7.0.
We found the OSS note which tells that characteristic keys (e.g. material number, customer number, brand key, country key) must be designed as 7-bit-US-ASCII characters (common characters), but we did not found any note about what happens if we dont convert these characters into 7-bit-US-ASCII and weve got some Infoobjects with special characters.
Do we really have to convert theses characters? What happens if we dont change these?
We used as well the customizing option ALL_CAPITAL. What does ALL_Capital mean at the Unicode-compliant BW system. Does it have the same function as before?
Thanks and regards,
Julia

It's a difficult matter that's made extremely easy with Unicode. But you're not there yet so you are stuck with code pages and these can get very messy.
I dealt with this with Asian languages but it was a long time ago. I do remember there was a white paper from SAP that explained all the possible scenarios and possible solutions. For downloads to Excel etc. you will have to convert to a windows code page or Unicode in your program.
[This SAP Help page|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9c/70023cfa699508e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm] might contain the mentioned document, I was unable to open it...

Issue with special characters in SAP CRM ICSS application.

Hi ,
I have issue with the special character in CRM web application.
1. In CRM IC Webclient application(5.0) . i am copying and pasting some special characters in the description of the service request document. then this is saving the character as it is.
But when i am opening the same service request in SAP CRM ICSS(Internet Customer Self-Service) application, then the special characters are converting to different characters.
I am not sure whether this is the right forum for this or not.
Can anyone please suggest how can i correct this. Or is there any standard solution to handle the special characters in ICSS.
Thanks

Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
it's in output but what is data in database ?
sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value. (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
Expected (output): "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
as super scripted in xml?
as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

Properties with special characters are not transfered to system properties

A property which contains a special character like % or � (o with 2 dots above) will not passed to system properties in java 1.5.0_16.
This was working with java 1.5.0_06.
Example
Jnlp:
<property name="test.fail" value="M�ller"/>
<property name="test.works" value="Moller"/>java:
System.getProperty("test.fail") = null
System.getProperty("test.works") = "Moller"The Jnlp is correct encoded in UTF-8
Are there any ideas?

Sending special characters to non-unicode non-sap system: user exit

Hello All,
We are sending data from a SAP unicode system to a non-sap non-unicode system via IDOC. The idoc is standard idoc GLMAST which contains gl account information.
Some text fields contained in this idoc can contain special Polish characters. If they are sent unchanged to the non-unicode system, they give problems in the destination system.
What we would like to do is to build a user exit to convert these special characters, for example : 'é' becomes 'e', ....
We used enhancement object ALE00001, function EXIT_SAPLBD11_001 and implemented it, but it seems this exit is not called. Can this user exit be used for this functionality?
We also tried to change in SM59 the type of system of the destination to non-unicode, so that SAP replaces those special characters by #. But, than the error 02. Codepage not found is given in the idoc. Note: the link to the external system is not set up yet, so no actual connection is possible. Is this why we receive this error, and will this functionality work in the end with a non-sap system?
Thanks for helping.
Kind Regards,
Bart Pelsmaekers

I faced this problem in many project i implement below logic.
DATA: c_splchar(2) VALUE '90',
        c_defaultchar(1) type c VALUE '#'.
You have to move one by one character to this function module
          CALL FUNCTION 'URL_ASCII_CODE_GET'
               EXPORTING
                    trans_char = spl_char
               IMPORTING
                    char_code = spl_code.
All non unicode(Better you check) are always greater than 90.
         if spl_code is gt c_splchar.
            move c_defaultchar to c_splchar.
         endif.

Unicode display with system fonts?? (special characters)

Hi All. We're working on site that supports a couple
different languages: English, Japanese, and now German. We're using
dynamic text boxes and Remoting to display internationalized text
where necessary. Remoting makes a call to the backend, which
returns a text blurb depending on the country ID that's in use and
then the result is tossed up into the dynamic text box on screen.
Simple as pie. Works great for English, and great for Japanese. But
now we've added German, which I thought would be painless as it's
another western language.
Apparently, Flash is having problems displaying special
characters like the umlaut. In place of the special character, we
see a black diamond with a question mark. Now normally I'd think
that the font we're using doesn't have the embedded symbol for the
umlaut character but the thing is, we're not using embedded fonts
-- we're using system fonts (verdana) and everything works perfect
for the Japanese version. What in the world is going on?
If I dump the results of the remoting call to an html page,
everything displays as it should so I know the data in the database
isn't improperly encoded or anything. And Japanese works! WTF? Any
ideas PLEASE let me know, been banging my head against this for
waaay too long now...
Danke
.

Alright so if I change the data directly, and make the
a-umlaut into Ġ everything renders in Flash perfectly.
Rockin. So I patch my input cms code to run htmlentities() on the
text area. Instead of translating a-umlaut to Ġ though it
translates it to ä which Flash's html renderer doesn't
display correctly... Uh..

Dynamic text, system fonts, and special characters...

This one is boggling my mind so if someone can help, please
do
I've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL
database via AMFPHP. The text includes special characters such as
accents, umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them
work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client.
However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or
IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just
don't seem to show up -- instead I get the [] box character.
The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like
this are European quote characters like   and
 (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar
ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like
I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why
are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working
fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that
they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a
browser...
Please, if anyone can help... I've been bashing my head
against this for the better part of the day!!

Hi,
did you take a look at the "gateway.php' ? There you can
define charsets. Maybe a western europe charset will
help you out. Since french language is using a lot more
accents and so.
This is what you can find in the gateway.php of amfphp. Just
have to set the right one ;)

How to Handle Special Characters in PI7.1

Hi Team,
I need to handle some special characters like <,>,& etc.. from WS Adapter to CRM in PI 7.1.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9420 [original link is broken]
By using the above blog i had implemented the Java Code as
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out){
try{
int read_data;
while((read_data = in.read()) != -1){
if (read_data == '&'){
out.write("&".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '>'){
out.write(">".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '<'){
out.write("<".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '/'){
out.write("&frasl;".getBytes());
}else if (read_data == '\''){
out.write("'".getBytes());
else { out.write(read_data);
out.flush();
} catch (Exception e){}
I had added this class file in Operational Mapping.
It is working if we have only one IF condition for & in while
Any suggestion
Thanks
Sriram

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for your inputs, I have tried your code but it is not working. The error message stays the same.
Dear Stephane,
To describe the error more, the requirement is the payload coming from source through WS Adapter consists of the special characters <, > , & which are basic sematics of XML syntax. I need PI to process this payload with special characters and successfully transfer it to target CRM system. I have created the Java class with code (ref: Blog 9420) as stated earlier and added this class to my existing Operation Mapping. I am expecting the java mapping to replace the special characters in payload like < with ">" . So as the case with the other characters >,&,'
After activaton of my operation mapping, I triggered the test message with Soap UI client and I could able to get a successful mapping only When I put the logic for &ampersand symbol only. However when I am trying to add the logic for > or < or ' the mapping is failing . I am using UTF-8 encoding across the source and PI enviroments.
