Special Characters not showing using Report Query

I run my BI pub reports from APEX page using apex_util.download_print_document (see below).
It looks like it is stripping out the '+' from the report when displaying. It shows correctly inthe XML file.
I even tried encoding with SELECT max(replace(I1.alpha_grade,'+','%2B')) . This prints the '%2B' instead of the '+'.
Any ideas?
apex_util.download_print_document(
p_file_name => l_form_description,
p_content_disposition => 'attachment',
p_application_id => v('APP_ID'),
p_report_query_name => nvl(l_report_query_name,l_form),
p_report_layout => l_layout,
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
p_document_format => v('P507_OUTPUT_FORMAT'));

Glad it worked out for you Bob; here is the site I used for HTML to Character conversion chart.

Special characters not showing

Hello, I am having a strange problem with showing special characters in the browser when I upload the site. (its fine when I view it on localserver)
For example on my website: http://www.reese-test2.co.uk/
if you do a search for example: 3GLG534WW - instead of seeing the degree symbol there is a �
it should read 35° beam angle not 35� beam angle
I know i could go through all 500 products and change the beam angle character on my SQL database to: 35°
But surely there is an easier way? This being a lighting website for my work I have other special characters that will also show up weird, so would be good if there was an easy fix to this. I am using WAMP, and DW CS6.
Is there a line of code I can add to my results.php page that will force the characters to show properly?
thanks
Sara

Hi Just thought I would update this post. My server provider said they cannot change the character set due to how they were set up, so had to do a find/replace in PHPmyAdmin - (SQL tab) instead.
Ken thanks for your idea. This didnt initially work for me, so googled it and had to make a couple of changes to the code, but this then worked. "Replace" needs to be in caps and the brackets removed.
Original:
update [table_name] set [field_name] = replace([field_name],'[° ]','[°]');
Correct:
UPDATE productsearch SET description = REPLACE ( description, ‘°’, ‘°’);
thanks for your help Ken Binney

Special Characters not showing correctly in XI from JMS Adapter.

Hi All,
Scenario: IBM Websphere MQ->XI->CRM (RFC Adapter)
We have a flat file being picked up by JMS adapter and content conversion is done. The scenario works fine except when specific swedish alphabets appear in the flat file. When i checked in XI, these characters appear as rubbish characters.
I understand that we need to use CCSID and put the value 00819 in the CCSID of Destination field for the Comm Channel. However i still did not have any luck after changing this field. Do i need to flush my queues and restart MQ?
Does anyone have any idea what i am missing?

Hi Lookman,
We need to make sure that the conversion to UFT-8 is done correctly, I see that as a potential cause. So first, stop the communication channel in XI, send a test file and download it from the Queue manger where XI is supposed to read the message from (using a tool like RFHUtil).
Then use a code page detector tool (http://cpdetector.sourceforge.net/) to make sure that the data is indeed in UTF-8.
By the way, the destination code page field in a Sender communication channel has no effect(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/c1/739c4186c2a409e10000000a155106/content.htm).

Date not showed when report is viewed in PDF .

Hi,
We have a text field that shows the date on which the report is running.Date is not showed when report is viewed in PDF.But in HTML we can view them . Can any one help me out?
Totally there are four pages for the report.

I have observed the PDF driver iin EPM 11.1.2.x is not up-to-date and technically the Date (Text) is there just like in HTML. However, when you increase the View (Zoom in), it eventually does show up.
I have chatted with Oracle Support, and they will not address it with a patch for now.

Certain characters not showing

I'm having a problem with certain characters not showing on Safari. Some websites are okay, but others, like Livejournal and babynames.com, only show about four characters per word. On some message boards, certain characters such as parentheses and capital L do not show up when I type them, but show up fine on the completed post.
What is going on? Do I need to download a new copy of Safari, switch to Firefox, or can this be fixed?
Thanks!

Apparently it's getting worse. There are eight more letters that don't appear.

PLD Report does not show data from Query

Hello,
SAP b1 9.0 PL08 on MSSQL 2008 and I get data on the query, but when the PLD prints, it shows nothing. Is there a way to filter the data that the PLD shows? Does PLD have its own SQL script it uses b/c its not showing data from the query.
Thanks,
Nick

Reports with output to excel - special characters not displayed correctly.

Hi,
I have a portal with data from 5 continents. In many places special or national characters are used in names. My portal can show most of these characters correctly and so can my version of Microsoft Office Excel. When text with these characters are copy/pasted from the screen to an excel sheet, they are also shown correctly in excel. The problem arises in portal reports, where output is set to Excel, then special characters are often displayed as strange double characters, for example á is shown as Ã¡ . Does anybody have a solution to that?
Thanks
Arne

No answers have been posted yet and now I have found a solution myself. The portal report is run and output set to Excel. The resulting file is opened, and a new row is inserted in the top of the sheet. In the first field in this row is written the characters *\xEF\xBB\xBF*. It is called a UTF-8 BOM, and when written in the start of a text file, it will tell the program that opens it, that UTF-8 encoding is used.<br><br>
The file is saved with the file type CSV (semicolon separated) (*.csv) and excel is closed. When you click on the CSV-file, it is opened by excel, and now all characters with accents, circumflexes and umlauts are shown correctly.<br><br>
The solution was found here: http://www.roosmaa.net/importing-utf-8-csvs-in-excel/

Using XML with special characters - not rendering

Hello,
I am using xml to populate the content of a Flash file, but
we have localized content for different global regions. So, when
the content contains special characters like "é" they do not
show up at all in the flash. I tried using é but that
just renders the actual code...
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks

Hi Rothrock, thanks for your reply...
Flash Version: 8, but the swf was published to be 7+
compatible.
The font is Meta Normal, it is embedded, and it does include
the character.
I am retrieving the xml by using this script in the html
page:
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var fo = new FlashObject("/templates/flash/index.swf" +
cKiller, "ad-flash", "710", "351", "7", "#FFFFFF");
fo.addVariable("xmlURL", "/flash_content/products.xml");
fo.write("ad");
// ]]>
</script>
I am creating the XML using Macromedia Homesite, with the
encoding declaration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
The XML is being read fine, only the special characters don't
show up... so it will cut off the word, or just have an empty space
where the character should be.
I am not sure how to specifiy Extended Latin charset in the
document... could you tell me how to do that?
Thanks

Report not show after submit query in parameter form

Hi, anubody can help me with this
report not show after click submit query button in parameter form

To help you see what is happening, temporarily add DESNAME to your parameter screen. Make sure that DESNAME on the parameter screen has a value before you click the Submit Query button.
If you are running the report with a local report service (running on your workstation), the value of desname should be the name of your default printer.
If you are running the report on a network application server based report service you need to specify the name of a printer that is accessible to the server on which the report service is running. Make sure that it is specified in a way that the server can recognize it, e.g. \\printserver_01\HPLaserJ4210.
Maybe this will help some.

German Special Characters not displayed correctly in RTF using code

Hi ,
In my code we are using webdynpro method
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
byte[] data, String resourceName,WDWebResourceType
Type)
Here in our code we are implementing this as
ITemplateElement templateEl = wdContext.currentTemplateElement();
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
templateEl.getReportData(),
reportName.substring(0, reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
WDWebResourceType.RTF); reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
Here templateEl.getReportData() returns a set of bytes which has some
german special characters.
We are generating the Bytes using String.getByes(),Just before
String text = new String(in);
collector.putBusinessObject(boName, bo);
reportDocTemplateParser(collector, text);
collector.removeBusinessObject(boName);
String generatedText = collector.generateRTF();
out = (null != generatedText) ? generatedText.getBytes() : null;
The out put is the if i am giving a word with german special characters for eg:
Betriebsübersichten it first gets converted to bytes and then passes through method WDResouseFactory.createResourse(.....) which creates an RTF file and finally in the RTF file it appears as Betriebsbbersichten the special character is not displayed correctly.
i came to knw that while converting into bytes we have to make it RTF supported encoding.ie for eg generatedText.getBytes('cp1252').i even tried with other charactersets like ISO-8859,cp1253 and so on but none of them worked.
It would be really great if you could suggest the needful.
Thanks and Regards
Neeta

I soved this by using get_data function of response object. Then converting this into ISO-8859-1 charset.
See code below.
DATA : lv_encoding   TYPE abap_encoding,
          lv_conv       TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
          lv_x_string   type xstring.
lv_x_string = pv_http_client->response->get_data( ).
    lv_encoding = '1100'.
    lv_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(
                          encoding = lv_encoding
                             input = lv_x_string ).
    lv_conv->read( IMPORTING data = pv_result ).

Special characters not shown in OBIEE report

Hi
We are facing an issue with column values containing special characters in the reports(OBIEE 11G, 11.1.1.6.5). In-spite of actual column values i.e. special characters, NULL is displayed/shown. It would be very helpful if any work-around/pointer is provided for the resolution of this issue.
Thanks

Hi,
Go with Dhar suggestion, While installing the database itself we have the options "unicode type" for special characters.
Now Create one more instance and install the database use the unicode option to resolve.
i faced for arabic character i found this mode.

Building in carriage returns using Report Query

I am using Report Querys and Report Layouts. I am trying to build in some carriage returns that will be recognized in my rtf template. I tried using 'chr(10)', br's etc, but it doesn't work. It prints the characters instead of doing the carriage return. Am Imissing something?

Bob,
The string literal 'chr(10)' will not help you much.
select 'mystring'||'chr(10)'||'mystring' from dual; -- returns 'mystringchr(10)mystring'
select 'mystring'|| chr(10) ||'mystring' from dual; -- returns 'mystring

How to display special characters in APEX Classic Report column

Ref: Thread: How to display newline characters as new lines
Version: APEX 3.2
Hi,
I have created an classic SQL Report with one of the columns being a decode that gives a value 'Post'(the value should be highlighted in Red) on one condition and 'Pre' on another. I have followed the advice given in the page (URL provided above) , i.e. I have changed Strip HTML to 'No', changed Display as to 'Display as text (escape special characters, does not save state)'. I have also passed this value back to the same page to be stored in a page item each time a link (another column in report) in report is clicked. I have tried passing it as #DEADLINE# and \#DEADLINE#\. The issue I face is, instead of the value being highlighted in Red, it gets passed back as a string holding the value 'Post'. Is there any way I can get this to display as it should without the Strip HTML being changed to 'Yes'.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I am trying to display a page item that is derived from a report column based on a click on the URL link (*view >*>)
This page item (here, it is Manager_ID) should ideally be highlighted when a particular condition is satisfied (achieved using a DECODE in the report).
But it is not displayed like it should be.
I do not want the value to be displayed along with the html tags as a string.
I want the html tags to take effect and highlight the value within it.
Initially, I had set Strip HTML to Yes and the value was returned without any highlighting .
So I changed it to 'No' and and it contained the html tags.
I am not sure what setting in APEX Report Attributes can help me achieve that effect I want.None of the report settings are relevant. They affect the rendering of the report and none of the columns you were changing the properties of were actually rendered.
You can't pass HTML and CSS around in URL parameters.
I suggest you pass *2* values in the column link: the MGR ID and a simple class or colour value computed by the DECODE in the report. I've suppressed the first version of the report and created a new one that does this:
decode(dept.deptno, '30', 'c00', '000') highlight The link column now passes the MGR ID and the HIGHLIGHT colour (red when the condition is satisfied and black when it is not).
I created another hidden and protected page item <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> as the target for the highlight value, and used the Pre/Post Element Text properties of the <tt>P0_G_MGR</tt> to wrap it in a <tt>span</tt> whose colour is changed using the <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> value as a subtitution string:
<span style="color: #&P0_HIGHLIGHT.;">Having done that, I still don't really get the requirement here. I'm sure that given the full picture I'd be using a completely different approach...
