Strange cahracters on report from field overrun

We have a report, created with Cystal Reports 10, that is now giving us an issue. It is displayed via web browser.
When displayed using Crystal Enterprise 10, it looks fine. But when displayed with CR XI r2 JRC, we get strange characters after the field when the field on the report is overrun. The field on the report is not formatted wide enough for all data but this has not been an issue in the past, the overrun just displayed fine.
The display we are getting looks like:
For short data we get:
*TEST
For longer data (overrun) we get:
*TEST1瀲瀀猀
That should have displayed *TEST12.
I think I can get around this by formatting the field wider (I have not tried it yet) but we wanted to know if this was a known issue with a root cause / fix.

Hi Douglas,
Please close this thread as this question has been double posted.

    - The report is only generated and viewed via the web browser. A web screen takes criteria for the report data, does an SQL call to pull the data into a report table, and then calls the CR report viewer to display the data.
    - JRC is the java Runtime Component. In CR XI, a package is supplied to install as part of the web server for doing the web report viewing withut having to install CR Enterprise.
    - The original .rpt file, the report template, does not have the characters in it nor do they show up in Crystal Reports in any way that I have found to try to test.
    - With using the JRC, there is no CE10 database. As noted above, CR Enterprise is not installed. As for the database that contains the report data table, it is MS SQL Server 200 with all appropriate patches applied.
    I just tested extending the display field to well longer than the data but it did not help. The strange characters are still being displayed.

  • ABAP report  from fields connecting to an external database

    Hi All,
    The requirement is to connect some GL data with external audit data which is stored in an oracle database.  These two table data has to be merged and a report has to be generated.
    I heard we could connect to the external database from the R/3 4.7 version through DBconnect.  Has anyone come across any such requirement and done a similar report, could you give me the inputs please.

  • Report with fields from multiple objects

    I have a query regarding reports:
    For a certain role I gave "Has Access" to only SRs and not the other objects and added a certain book containing SRs. I have a report with fields pulled from SRs, Accounts and Contacts. Is it necessary that the role should have "Has Access" to Accounts and Contacts also for this report to show any data?
    Please suggest.

  • Loans disappear from report after fields from second table are added

    We are using Crystal XI.  We have two tables from a sequel database we use for the reports, and we always have.  Suddenly, we have been experiencing problems with loans being dropped from the reports and we have been trying to isolate the problem.  To troubleshoot, I created a very simple report to provide the loan number and the borrower name from Table 1.  I did not create any parameters so the report provided the information for all loans in the database.  However, when I add a field to the report from Table 2, either all of the loans disappear or the number of loans on the report are drastically reduced.
    As another test, I created a report to include just the loan number.  The loan number field appears in both tables.  I get different results if add the loan number to the report from Table 1 than I get if I add the loan number to the report from Table 2. When I create the report, the tables auto-link with no errors.  
    I have reviewed all the report options and general options in Crystal and can't find why this is occurring.  I have had our IT staff troubleshoot and help me test using older versions of the tables, but we get the same results.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    From what you have described, could it be your table joins?  You mention that once you add the second table, records get dropped.
    Check your table join, even though it auto links, right click on the link and see if the join is INNER or LEFT OUTER.
    If INNER then every loan number in Table 1 should exist in Table 2, LEFT OUTER = every loan number in table 1 will be fetched irrespective of whether it has a corresponding match in table 2 or not.
    Check your joins and change them and see if that makes a difference.

  • Width of field in Report From SQL Query

    I have created a report from SQL query with 15 columns being selected. However, no matter what column width and column type (pixel, char, percent) I enter in the column formatting tab of the report, I cannot get the report to format the column to the width I desire. It is always a fixed width. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi,
    Char (used for ASCII format)
    Displays the output in the specified number of
    characters per line. For example, if you enter 20
    in Width, the report displays 20 characters of the
    column data in each line. If the number of
    characters per line exceeds the specified
    number, the remaining characters are wrapped
    to the next line.
    Pixel
    Displays the output in the specified number of
    pixels per row. For example, if you enter 10 in
    Width, the column data displays 10 pixels of
    data per line of the displayed table.
    Percent
    Displays the output in the specified percentage
    of the table. For example, if you enter 25 in
    Width, the column data displays in 25% of the
    displayed table.
    Thanks,

  • Strange =?ISO etc. in the 'from'-field

    When i send mails to people with Outlook and Exchange they don't get my return adress right. Sometimes it says: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22My_Name, somtimes =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=[email protected]
    It means people can't press answer, but have to write my mailadress in the 'to'-field.
    I only have the right server for outgoing messages in the system.
    Anybody have an idea?

    Which they are not either.
    This is not a question of not using english, or even ASCII-letters in the e-mailadress. We all know an e-mail address is supposed to be in a-z, 1-9 etc., even the provider who gave me my adresses.
    This is a question of why my the address in the 'from'-field is corrupt when i mail corporate mailsystems in Windows, but not standalone applications or macs.
    RFC 2822 Internet Message Format April 2001
    2.2. Header Fields
    Header fields are lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon
    (":"), followed by a field body, and terminated by CRLF. *A field*
    *name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters* (i.e.,
    characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except
    colon. *A field body may be composed of any US-ASCII characters,*
    *except for CR and LF.* However, a field body may contain CRLF when
    used in header "folding" and "unfolding" as described in section
    2.2.3. All field bodies MUST conform to the syntax described in
    sections 3 and 4 of this standard.
    Whether that character is in your address or not is irrelevant; it's in the headers and these folks are clearly interpreting the spec very strictly. Take it out and the problem should go away.

  • How to create a Report from WebDympro

    Hi All,
    I just want to know how I can create a report from WebDynpro? I need to pull data from R/3 using a RFC function module, but I don't know if it exists a software to create reports.
    Thanks in advance
    Alexis Ramirez

    Hi Rich,
    Even i had a similar kind of problem. I wanted to fetch data from BI through the XMLA Connector which are created in Query Designer and then i wanted to fetch these fields and rearrange them and put it in a report format by colouring certain fields. Can the same can be done in WebDynpro.

  • Reporting from two box

    I have required 4 fields in the cube  which is pulled for the SCem Box and 3 required which is pulled from R/3 box . Is that possible to report  4 fields from SCEM  and 3 fields from R/3.
    I am thinking build one cube for SCEm data and other cube to pull the  R/3  data add to together as a multi cube . Then I will report 4 plus 3 fields from the Multi cube.
    Please correct me If I am wrong.
    Thanks in advance
    Taj

    Is this applicable. Different time the changes are get updated means the scheduling of the load from R/3 and SCEM is different .
    Will the data get synchronize. Will I get I data what I want in the report.
    Please advise me.
    Thanks in advance

  • Invoking a Discoverer Report from a web page written in JSP

    Hi,
    We are using Discoverer 10.1.2 against a relational database. We are not using the OLAP option.
    I have a requirement wherein users would like link to a Discoverer Report from a web application which is not deployed in Oracle Portal. So Discoverer portlets are not the solution.
    I basically need to be able to provide the Report URL in the JSP page.
    Has anybody done this ? Can you please provide some pointers towards how to generate the Discoverer report URL to invoke the report from a JSP ?
    Thanks
    Manav

    Discoverer URL parameters can be found here in the Configuration Guide here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/urlstart.htm#sthref888
    Note, that you cannot pass the password in the URL (security restriction) so you will need to use Public or Private connections and pass the connection ID or use an HTML form to build the URL using the POST method.
    Or, you can fill in the desired fields and let the user enter their username/pwd.
    Hope that helps get you started.
    Regards,
    Steve.

  • Report from 2.5 to 6i

    We have migrated a character mode report from v2.5 to 6i
    Now the preview of reports show bizarre characters in some PCs, but there are other PCs where it run OK.
    I don't know what can I do, Oracla Support don't know also, so any help will be appreciated
    TIA
    Alberto

    hello,
    maybe the PCs that show the unwanted characters are missing specific fonts you are using the the report. depending on your uifont.ali it might substitute the missing font with something like Wingbats or Dingbats symbol fonts.
    check the font used in the questionable field and see if it is installed on the machine or maybe if it is -by accident- substituted using uifont.ali

  • Error connecting to web analysis report from workspace

    Hi,
    There are a number of web analysis reports. There is a link to one in a planning task list. However, when the report is opened an error appears saying
    Required application context analyzer is not available. Please contact your administrator
    The report opens is web analysis. I tried other reports from within workspace by browsing to them from within the folder structure and got the error for all of them.
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    A) restart your services in correct order
    B) be sure that the analyzer.properties (baseurl) is correct and can be reached from the workspace server.
    C) wrong SSL config and certificates produce sometimes suprisingly strange error messages.

  • Modifying a Crystal Report from a 3rd party

    We use a Enterprise software that has embedded crystal reports that you can run within the software.  However, we need to modify a few of these reports, add some fields and such.  Their reports folder has all of the .rpt files and I can open the files just fine.  However, to add any fields I have to create a connection to our instance of their database to add the fields.  The report will run fine in Crystal but once I try to run it through the enterprise software, the report dies out.
    How do I modify the report using our instance of the database but then save the new .rpt in such a way where it will use the DB connection information in the software?  Essentially I want a database agnostic .rpt file.
    I tried searching through the forums but I didn't see anything along these lines, but I may have not been using the right terminology during search.

    Thanks for the info and the report and confirming they are OK with you doing this....
    The report also uses a subreport against the tables directly. They both use an ODBC DSN using the MS SQL Server default SA account.
    So you need to create your DSN using the same log on info, User name is "sa" but Cr does not keep the password so you need to find that out. Once you get the ODBC System DSN created on your PC then you can add the fields as required and run the report to verify it all works.
    Next question you mentioned an Enterprise software to run the report. Is this Crystal Reports or BusinessObejcts Enterprise software or is that their program also? If it is ours then you can publish the report from Crystal Report Designer logging in as Administrator and then allow users to access it. Set the log on info for the report properties also and it all should work.
    If it's not BOE or CRE then you'll again have to ask them how to get these updated reprots into their Enterprsie software.
    Thank you
