Special Charecters handling using BODS flat file

Hi All,
I have 2 sets of data one with no special charecters and one with Special Charecters in source. I have generated flat files(with UTF-8 code page bot hdata special charescters and no special chars) thruogh BODS in to a perticular path, when I am copying file from one path to another path file behaviour is changing it is saving as ANSI (it is only ith the file does not have special charecters, special charecters file if capoying with UTF-8 code page)
And also I have faced the special chareter file with jumbling of data.
Like : ID| Number |Name|Country
1 |103|TejaIndia
2|104|Vini|India
If observed above scenario, in th the 1st record country data concatenated with name.
I really appriciate, If any one help me to slove this issue.
Note: Special charecters are like: */„…ÂŸ etc and also multilanguage data
Thanks,

Special charecters handling while Converting XML string to DOM

Hi,
I am using the following approach for converting XML string to DOM, but due to Special characters like "&", I am getting Exceptions:
String xmlString;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlString)));
Can anyone please help me out on how to handle the Special characters in the above code.

If the XML doesn't parse, then the XML must be invalid. Show a sample of such a special character in the XML data. Please use \ tags to post the actual XML content and any other code.

How to remove special Charecters

Hi
I have a internal table having text 900 charecters.
Hacving Special Charecters also (like !,@,# etc)
Here I need to remove all special charecters only from internal table itab.
Can you please tell me the logic?

REPLACE, FIND and SPLIT Statements sometimes doesnot work while Working on Special Characters.
Instead Convert all the 900 characters into HEXADECIMAL codes and Replace the Special characters ( find Hex codes of each Special Character ) with Space(Hex code = 20) .
After Replacing all the Special Characters , Convert all the Characters back to Normal Text.
You can use the Function module ''HR_KR_STRING_TO_XSTRING' to Convert TEXT to Hexadecimal String and
FM 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING' to convert back Hexadecimal String to TEXT format
You can use the following link to find the Hex code of each Character

Master Data Process chains failing due to special charecters?

hi experts,
we have done all the master data(FI,SD,LO,QM,PM,MM,PP,PS) and created process chains and transported into production system.
when we run the process chains we are facing lot of issues regarding special charecters.
for example. 0MAT_VEND_ATTR Data source.
MATERIAL VENDOR (field - IDNLF).
'UDGÅET
&''UDGÅR
&''UDGÅET
&''36/5599/LED./FÆLLES
&''SØTRANSPORT &
those are the special charecters are coming when i try to execute through RSKC the above Material Vendors, its giving different special chars for different MATERIAL VENDORS like below.
FÆLLESSØTRANSPORT
04/5160/FORSØGSAFD.
(5150)FORSØGSAFD.
like that there are about 15 master data chains are failing.
due to that reason the below transcation chars are not executing.
please suggest me is there any routine or is there any procedure to take care of unpredicted special charecters loading successfully into BW.
regards
venuscm

I don't think its a global setting problem.
Permit the char in RSKC...
Check with the functional team why they are getting Special char values in the loads. ask them to rectify the special char so that you can extract the same to BW side.
go through the blog links provided earlier in my post...
Check the below link which might be of some use to you,..

Request.getParameter(): special character handling problem

Hello, there:
This should be an easy question for the gurus in here.
I use a string attached to the url as the parameter string, which includes spaces. the system automatically converts them to %20, but when I receive them in my servlet using request.getParameter, a special character, Â appears; I couldn't proceed with it.
I suppose this is a common problem but seems that I didn't find topics about it on this forum.
So anyone can help? Any encoder/decoder APIs to handle it?
Thanks a lot,
Sway

hi,
escape can solve ur problem
use js function to submit form like
function subForm()
var any_spcl_value ="kdfhjdf$%@#$% 2FGSFG @%@#%@# V";
mainForm.action = "index.jsp?value="+ escape(any_spcl_value);
mainForm.submit();
and use request.getParameter("value");
u ll get kdfhjdf$%@#$% 2FGSFG @%@#%@# V as it is.

Special character handling in XI

Hi,
I have a scenario wherein edifact files are passed through XI to partners .
The edifact input file contains special characters like ô which gets converted to Ã.This is causing the despatch advice to fail at the receiver end.
Can anyone suggest how such characters should be handled in XI ?
Thanks in advance.

You can use localejbs/Seeburger/CharsetConversion bean as well. And in the module config table, add teh following parameters
sourceEnc = UTF-8
targetEnc = ISO-8859-1(or what ever target encoding you want).
This is with the assumption that the data is going from SAP to a local(EDI)system via XI.
Use localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean after the character conversion in the Processing sequence.

Special Character Handling (&) in the payload content in PI 7.1

Hello All,
My Scenario is Idoc to File. I need to handle some special characters like "&" in XML payload content in PI 7.1. I am receiving & character in the text field.
eg:
<RECORD>
   <BEGDA>20100901</BEGDA>
   <STAT1>A</STAT1>
   <NAME1>Grandview&MO CLMR</NAME1>
<PERL_SUB_AREA>0005</PERL_SUB_AREA>
</RECORD>
I created java mapping by using the blog: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9420. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
"The code used in java mapping is converting & into &amp"
Mapping is working fine in the test tab of Operation mapping and the message is successfully handling the record with & character(message with Chequered Flag).In the result tree view,it is showing
<PERL_TEXT>Grandview&MO CLMR</PERL_TEXT
and in the source XML view
<PERL_TEXT>"Grandview&ampMO CLMR"</PERL_TEXT>
Issue:
Now the record is written as
<RECORD>
<CUST_STATUS>A</CUST_STATUS>
<COMPANY>1050</COMPANY>
<PERL_AREA>1MOB</PERL_AREA>
<PERL_TEXT>"Grandview&ampMO CLMR"</PERL_TEXT>
<PERL_SUB_AREA>0005</PERL_SUB_AREA>
</RECORD>
Since & is coming as part of text, "it is converting & -> &amp" in the text field and the record is written in the file as
"A|1050|1MOB|Grandview&ampMO CLMR|0005 ....."
While it should come as:
A|1050|1MOB|Grandview&MO CLMR|0005 .....
Java mapping code used is as:
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Map;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformation;
public class HandleAmpersand implements StreamTransformation {
     public void setParameter (Map param) { }
     public void execute (InputStream in, OutputStream out) {
          try {
               int read_data;
                    while ((read_data = in.read() ) != -1) {
                         if (read_data != '&') {
                              out.write(read_data);
                         } else {
                         out.write("&".getBytes());
                    out.flush();
     } catch (Exception e) { }
Also, i am using message mapping after java mapping in operation mapping
Please guide me where it is going wrong.
Thanks

Hi Jain Shikha,
I have faced similar issue in our production system.
Our issue:-
Sender system is sending :- DEKOR " OBS!
Other middleware is converting it and sending to SAP PI as :- DEKOR &amp ;quot; OBS!
Because of this, there is increase in size from 12 characters to 21 characters. We were getting error as the target side ABAP table has column width 15.
Our solution:- Wrote a java mapping to convert &quot; to u201C
if (strContent.contains("&")) {
                    getTrace().addInfo("& is present");
                    strContent = strContent.replaceAll("&amp ;", "&");
                    strContent = strContent.replaceAll("&quot ;", "\"");
                    strContent = strContent.replaceAll("&apos ;", "\'");
                    strContent = strContent.replaceAll("&amp ;", "&");
                    strContent = strContent.replaceAll("&lt ;", "<");
                    strContent = strContent.replaceAll("&gt ;", ">");
Note: - quote ("), apostrophe ('), ampersand (&), less than (<), greater than (>) are special characters in XML. They should not be present in data. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/
Not Well formed XML:
<Name>Raghuu2019s</Name>   <Name> Raghu & Vamsee </Name>
Well formed XML:
<Name>Raghu's</Name>   <Name>Raghu & Vamsee</Name>
Graphical mapping, XSLT, DOM, SAX need well formed XML as input, otherwise they give parser exception.
Your solution:-
I understand you are using a graphical mapping. Follow below steps
Step 1: Convert u201CNot Well formed XMLu201D to u201CWell formed XMLu201D, using java mapping (which your doing already).
Step 2: Use Graphical mapping for your transformation logic.
Step 3: Again convert back u201CWell formed XMLu201D to u201CNot Well formed XMLu201D (As this what target system is expecting. Use below java mapping.

FTP_COMMAND MGET doesnt transfer UNICODE special Charecters

Hi there, we have a program that FTP's files from a server to R/3 using the MGET command with SAP function FTP_COMMAND. We are on the latest release of SAP and I have UNICODE checked on the SAP destination. Does anyone know why a properly save Unicode UTF-8 file with special characters gets scramble when thye mare moved?
Here is the call
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'
    EXPORTING
      handle        = h_handle
      command       = h_cmd
      COMPRESS      = 'X'
    TABLES
      data          = ftab
    EXCEPTIONS
      tcpip_error   = 1
      command_error = 2
      data_error    = 3
      OTHERS        = 4.

ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).
