SPUMG with CHARACTERS?

Hi Gurus
After running the SPUMG we get thousands of 2 character Vocabulary entries..
For example:
þu2014
©*
¹£
»u2013u2013
Which seem to be just a random combination of NON ALPHA NUMERIC CHARACTERS?
We have 3 codepages to choose from for the language assignment.
My question is what code page should I assign if I only see NON ALPHA NUMERIC CHARACTERS?
Kind Regards
Lawrence Brown

Hi Lawrence,
looks like characters from a Non-Latin code page like Asian, Russian or Greek ...
If you have such a code page, please check with native speakers (logging on with the according language) if these are valid words.
If you do not have such code pages or the byte combination does not make sense in all your three code pages (when logging on with the correct languages), then these could be words from code pages you do not have in the system.
One typical case where this occurs is in case of ECC 6.0, if you do not use Russian. Please have a look at note 1275317.
If you are not able to assign the words, then I would recommend to leave the words empty in the vocabulary and check in the reprocess scan, which table entries caused the problem.
However it is always possible to repair the entries with SUMG after the Unicode conversion.
Best regards,

Language: Filename with characters for arabic turns question mark

Language: Filename with characters for arabic turns question mark
OS: Solaris 9
Machine: Sun-Fire 25K
There is an adobe distiller software that is configured and a java apps. There are postscript files that are being converted to .pdf format using the adobe distiller. Using the GUI (using the Exceed; for remote access), when they use GUI to convert the postscripts to pdf files, the long filenames have the corresponding characters for arabic reading purpose. This is OK.
When we use the windows RUN to telnet the server and convert the postscripts to pdf, it gives a question marks characters in the filenames ( this; is a sample; filename; ?? ??? ??; right.pdf )
We are not sure now if we have to add a package of arabic or a patch to resolve this problem.

Solution found, I'll post the work around to those who might encounter the same problem.
Somewhere in the layers of technology (webwork or weblogic I'd guess), the servlet response is encoded into UTF-8 regardless. The encoding in the database was ISO-8859-1. Sending ISO encoded bytes by UTF-8 caused the conflicting character codes (anything above 127) to show up as undefined.
The fix is to decode the input byte array into ISO-8859 string, then encode that string into UTF-8, which can be send by Weblogic.
isoConvert = new String(buf, "ISO-8859-1");
out.write(isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8"), 0, isoConvert.getBytes("UTF-8").length);

Issue with characters like u0151 in maintaining text

Hi,
When characters are entered as per HU language, we face trouble with characters like ő Ő into text fields like in sales order. As soon as this letter is entered, it is changed to 'O' as in EN language.
changing -> Options-> Character set -> Central European, makes the display ő as ő .
1. Is this the permanent solution for this problem ? or do we have any better idea ?
2. Does this character set do any command in printing (SAP Scripts/ Smart Forms / PDF) ?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

Problems with characters like "Á", "É"

Hi, I'm having trouble when reading data with characters "Á", "É", "Ñ" from a database. If I use this:
stmt = this.conexion.createStatement ();it works fine, but of course cannot access the records in the ResultSet but with method next ().
As I wanted to use absolute (), first (), etc. I wrote that:
stmt = this.conexion.createStatement (ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);but when I try to read for example the word "PÉREZ", I get the word "0x50C38952455A".
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

This is my connection code:
      Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
      conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, login, password);The code that works:
(1)
    stmt = conn.createStatement ();The code that doesn't:
(2)
    stmt = conn.createStatement (ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);Then, the same code to execute the query:
    rs = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT MY_VARCHAR_FIELD FROM MY_TABLE");And to retrieve the value:
    String myValue = rs.getString ("MY_VARCHAR_FIELD");The odd thing is that before using a scrollable ResultSet (code snippet (1)), this worked perfectly. But, since I changed to code snippet (2), it doesn't for those characters.

Problem with characters in text field

hi all
i am missing a few characters, once i load text into a dynamic text field. chars are not missing per say; they are being replaced with empty squares.
characters like the euro sign and accentuated german a letter.
whats is weird is that other accentuated german letters do appear. so only a few selected are missing.
How ive set up the fla:
1) i've added 4 text fields to the stage in the font im using, Arial, one for each font style: normal, italic, bold and bold italic, and in all 4 fields ive embedded all latin characters (to include the german accentuaded characters and im guessing it's in the punctuation group that holds the euro sign, so that one is also embedded), besides lowercase, uppercase, numerical, and all the default groupd to include basic text.
2) i've got a dynamic text field, created with createTextField, and setup the following ActionScript (2):
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "Arial";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = false;
T_text.textColor = "0x666666";
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setNewTextFormat(myFmt);
now, im calling text from a database.
when calling the text from the browser url bar, there's no chars missing.
its just when i make this call from flash and load the text into the dynamic text field, that characters go missing.
below is a link to a print screen of the faulty text that is displayed in flash's dynamic text field.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/340/utf8.png
any ideas? i mean, it seems that the arial font is missing a few accentuated characters! because the code i have setup loads other accentuated characters.
anyone has seen this issue before and know how to solve it?
regards

no.
you assigned your embedFonts property to be false.
look, you can test if you've embedded fonts correctly by using:
T_text._rotation=3;
if you see no text, you're not embedding fonts correctly.
so, use:
T_text.embedFonts=true;
and then test. if you see no text, use:
click on the upper right of your library panel > new Font > select Arial and tick the symbols you need to embed > tick export for actionscript and assign a linkage id (eg, ArialID). click ok. then use:
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "ArialID";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = true;
T_text.textColor = 0x666666; // no quotes here. this is a number
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setTextFormat(myFmt); // to format the above text, use setTextFormat(). if you want to format text added after this line, use setNewTextFormat()

Capture standard output of another command-line program, with characters not in current codepage

I'm using ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput and Process.BeginOutputReadLine to capture the standard output of another program (specifically,
youtube-dl.exe) and save them into a string variable.
However the result variable contains only usual characters of my language such as traditional Chinese and English letters; characters such as Korean or Latin letters with accents simply vanished.
I File.WriteAllText-ed the result variable and checked the file using serveral text editors, so I'm sure they're lost, not that they exist and merely be un-display-able by console window.
Plainly executing youtube-dl in Windows Command Prompt displays complete messages including these foreign characters.
My youtubeDL_process.OutputDataReceived is simply:
(s, e) => { if(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(e.Data)) this._filename = e.Data; }
How to make the redirected standard output string with foreign characters complete, just like one directly generated in a command prompt?

Try a different experiment of starting your second EXE:
string exe =
@"path to your EXE with arguments . . .";
Process p =
new
Process
StartInfo =
UseShellExecute = false,
RedirectStandardOutput = true,
StandardOutputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8,
FileName = "cmd.exe",
Arguments = "/C chcp 65001 > null && " + exe
p.Start();
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
p.WaitForExit();
Specify the full path in the exe variable, using quotation marks if it contains spaces.
Then check the value of output.

Wrong RFC-response filling with characters '#'

Hi all,
we have an XI scenario in which a Report use a synchronous RFC call to run a query on a DB table and return the resultset to the calling Report.
Sync RFC call -> PI 7.0 -> JDBC Query (Select u2026 with ResultSet) -> PI 7.0 -> RFC Adapter
Weu2019ve some troubles on the data returning from the resultset of the query, thatu2019s rightly filled, and the RFC-response structure because there are some '#' characters as values of the response fields.
Weu2019ve loaded into the Message Mapping the instance of the resultset (rightly filled) and the test has run successfully, so perhaps the issue itu2019s regarding the RFC Adapter side.
Now the mapping mapping is set up with constant values but not all the RFC-response fields are filled, infact there are some u2018#u2019 characters that break the values in more lines.
Weu2019ve already run the full cache refresh on XI on the ABAP and Java side, also weu2019ve restarted the XI instances without results.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
GB

If its due to the special characters that are popping in the result of query which does not seem to be valid for RFC response,
1) try to make the RFC Destination Communication Setting as "Unicode"
2) Check the data type of RFC Response structure could be the fields for which the data is mapped are of date/numeric, in that case RFC data type has to be changed.
(you would have to reimport the RFC into PI i guess)
3) If you feel you would not require these special character, you can filter the same in mapping.
4) After all these if you are still struck and data types are rightly defined and rfc destination is rightly maintained for Unicode, then it i feel the problem resides in the RFC Adapter to convert the xml message into ABAP RFC Format using its metadata, in that case i recomend to change the scenario to Proxy from RFC where by the messages are routed by ABAP stack not by Java.

Issue with Characters (tilde, accent and more)

Hello all,

Hi,
Does your indexed data (which you hope to match) contain "sofá" or "sofa" (no diacritic)? If the latter, and in-general, you may benefit from the dgidx flag --diacritic-folding* as described in documentation "Mapping accented characters to unaccented characters". If you are running the latest version, this is all that should be required to generate a match.

Reading filenames with characters other than a-z

Hi!
My problem is that I'm writing very simple integration that only transfers files around. Problem is that some directories and filenames have for example scandinavien characters.
Examples:
D:\lähtevä\lähtö.xml
Problem is that when I read files/directories via following code while in the D:\lähtevä folder:
File dir = new File(fname);
String[] chld = dir.list();
if(chld == null){
System.out.println("Specified directory does not exist or is not a directory.");
System.exit(0);
}else{
for(int i = 0; i < chld.length; i++){
String fileName = chld;
System.out.println(fileName);
variable "fname" would be "." given from command line when application starts up.
Result is that all "ä" letters become "Σ" characters. Other scandinavian letters are also messed up. I'm running on windows machine.
What is the correct way to read filenames so that their country-specific characters are not messed up?

Will this small test run correctly on your machine?
public class ReadingFilesWithNonASCIINames {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String dirPath = "E:/lähtevä";
        String fName = "lähtö.txt";
        File directory = new File(dirPath);
        assert directory.exists();
        File file = new File(directory, fName);
        assert file.exists();
        //Now try to read it
        try {
            FileReader reader = new FileReader(file);
            int c;
            while((c = reader.read()) != -1) {
                System.out.print((char)c);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
}Compile it and run it with -ea flag. On my machine it ran without any problems (Windows XP, BE/fr locale, default encoding for files: System default -- windows-1252)

OC4J: Troubles with characters in Reports 9i and JSP

We are having troubles with especial characters in OC4J. Those problems appear in JSP's and Reports.
Some information about it:
- the especial characters in spanish are replaced by strange characters (2 chars for every especial char).
- this happens with strings from ApplicationResources.properties (we use Struts framework) and NOT with those chars read from database via JDBC.
- the problem doesn't happen in JDeveloper. It happens when we deploy the application to iAS 9i R2. With reports, it happens both from RWBuilder and local OC4J + RWServlet
- When we used iAS R1 core version this didn't happen. When we changed to iAS R2 full installation (to be able to use Reports Server) it began to happen.
Any help about it ?
Thanks

Petition: problems with characters in mail sent to Windows computers

Sign this petition by replying to this thread if you have problems with garbled characters when sending e-mails to Windows computers. Let Apple know It's a huge problem for non-English e-mailing customers and there is no way to definitively fix it.
I'll start it off:
Christoffer Du Rietz
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 17" last generation G4

I'm not interested in knowing the gory technical
details, I want Apple to fix the problem. The problem
have existed for years. Non-english speaking Mac
users run a high risk of sending e-mails that look
like pure garbage on computers that use Windows. This
does not help when trying to convince people that
Macs are superior.
I want Apple to fix Mail. Because it is
2006!
Your views are reasonable, but you need to send them to Apple, not just to the other users trying to provide help with problems in these forums. The channel for this is
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
You could also consider providing some feedback to MS. The longstanding bugs in Outlook that cause these problems represent really second-rate programming (even if it makes sense for Apple to somehow cater to them in Mail's behavior).

Txt to xml. Problems with characters(&, , ',...)

I want to generate a xml file with text from a txt file but i have problems with special characters such as &, <... I'd like to know if there�s any class or library to filter the text in order to generate my xml without problems.
Thank you.

Use JDOM to generate your XML. It will worry about escaping issues for you.
Here's a (probably rather inelegant) example for you to play around with:
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
public class DateBoom {
     public static void main(String[] args)
          throws Exception
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
          DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
          String dodgyText = "< & '";
          Document document = builder.newDocument();
          Element root = document.createElement("root");
          root.setAttribute("dodgy",dodgyText);
          document.appendChild(root);
          Element child = document.createElement("child");
          root.appendChild(child);
          child.appendChild(document.createTextNode(dodgyText));
          Transformer transform = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
          Source source = new DOMSource(document);
          Result result = new StreamResult(System.out);
          transform.transform(source,result);
}Your alternative is to use something like String regular expressions (regex) to do this manually, but the XML oriented libraries will catch more corner cases than you're likely to anticipate, making them more reliable.

Barcode gives errors with characters

When i populate the barcode with numbers on,y it is fine.
But when i add a character it says "Invalid barcode value........is an invalid value for barcodes of type code30f9"
Any ideas???? Thanks

The 3of9 barcode is good for letters, numbers and a few symbols (but not all of them).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39
These are the only characters.
-, ., $, /, +, %, and space
And the * character must be used as the first and last one in the field.
