Strange characters 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.

- 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.

CARACTERES EXTRAÑOS ORACLE REPORT 6I (STRANGE CHARACTERS ORACLE REPORT 6I)

Español:
Hola compañeros. Estoy utilizando Oracle Report 6i y cuando quiero imprimir un reporte en modo caracter me aparecen unos extraños simbolos al final de las lineas, como se puede apreciar en la imagen:
English:
Hello fellow. I am using Oracle Report 6i and when I want to print a character mode report me strange symbols appear at the end of the lines, as you can see in the picture:
Español:
Según esta revisado, sería problema de espacio, pero ya le di mayor margen al reporte, he hecho la letra mas pequeña y nada ha resuelto el problema. ¿Alguna sugerencia? De antemano, gracias.
English:
Under this revised, would be space problem, but it gave greater scope to the report, I made the smallest point and nothing has solved the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Hi Pat
The answer is no, not in Reports 6i.
Reports 9i, however, includes rich PDF enhancements such as Type1 font embedding and Type3 font subsetting that can be used to display Chinese characters.

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.
regards
Girish

Strange characters in email Subject field

I don't quite know where to post this one, but since I'm always programming only .jsps and servlets I hope someone will answer this here.
Accented characters in subject field of our emails produced by our programmes are being replaced by nonsense like the following:
=?ANSI_X3.4-1968?Q?
In the body of the email I can just replace accented characters with html equivalents, no problem, but not in the subject field.
Is there a way round this, like setting the character encoding somewhere or whatever? I use the javamail API to produce these emails - is there anything in the API for this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think e-mail only allows only ASCII characters in certain fields? I think you'd have to read the email RFC to find out the details of that.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
That's a start, but there are certain extensions to that, I think, that might atler things... Otherwise, you'd have to check thru the JavaMail API docs and see if there's an encoding setting somewhere.

Strange characters in report .csv export

Hello,
When I enable .csv export in my report, a name like Chiràc Jaqués apears as ChirÃ¨c JaquÃ©s in the csv.
I understand it has to do with charactersets but I don't know how to solve it.
Cheers
Jacob

Jacob,
go to:
Shared Components>Edit Globalization Attributes
and set the
Automatic CSV Encoding
to "YES".

"???????" in From Field of the Java Mail

I am using Java Mail APIs for sending the mails. "From", "To", "CC", "BCC", "Subject" is set in MimeMessage. Earlier I could see "?????????" in place of both "From" and "Subject".
To fix the Subject issue, I used steps given in "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324603" and it worked. But still I am getting "?????" in From field of the mail. Any idea how this can be fixed? ?
Thanks
Bhuvan

Again, there are two obvious possibilities, and you'll have to debug this
to figure out which one it is.
First possibility is that the Unicode characters in your Java String object
are wrong. Try putting m_strFrom in the Subject field and see if that
displays properly in your mail reader.
If it does, then the characters are correct and the problem is that your
mail reader isn't displaying the same characters in the From field
correctly.
If it doesn't, then however you've read those characters to compose
that String is wrong.

Replace Microsoft Word strange characters

I'm trying to create a function to replace all the strange
characters that come from Microsoft Word, but it doesn't seem to
work. Any thoughts? Thanks!
function replaceWordCharacters(str) {
str = replace(str, chr(8217), chr(39), "all");
str = replace(str, chr(8216), chr(39), "all");
str = replace(str, chr(8220), chr(34), "all");
str = replace(str, chr(8221), chr(34), "all");
str = replace(str, chr(8211), "-", "all");
str = replace(str, chr(13), "<br/>", "all");
WriteOutput(str);
return str;

Aliases missing in 'FROM" field

My Mail "FROM" field used to have my .mac email plus my email aliases.
Now (after 10.6.5) I have lost the aliases, but have gained a .me email.
Is there a way to add the aliases back to the "FROM" field?
Thanks.

Random Characters insterted into Crystal Reports string fields

I'm having a problem where random characters are being inserted into string fields in my crystal reports, I talked to a representative and they are unable to fix the problem, so I'm asking here if someone has a workaround. The characters are always outside of the normal set of characters, so I'd like to know if there is a way to only allow certain characters in a given field using formulas. (for example, at a very simple level, i would input a list of "legal characters" and the field in crystal wouldn't display anything but those characters)
thanks for your time and help

Sorry, i think I've been a bit imprecise so far
So these characters ONLY appear when printing the report and not when previewing the report in Crystal Reports?
They appear when previewing, when actually printing, everything after the characters is cut off
Are you printing directly from CR or from Enterprise/Infoview or another custom application?
From CR (both to PDF and paper)
When did you update your print driver last?
Not sure, although this may be moot since it also shows up in the preview?
Have you printed on another printer and does it too exhibit the same behavior?
Same as above?
Was the report created by you in CRXI? Are your regional settings set to English (language)?
Yes I created the report in CRXI, and in terms of the regional settings, I'm not sure but would assume so, how do I check/change this?

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,
Sharmila

When i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

when i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

You can also try opening the PDF with preview, then doing a copy and paste to TextEdit and printing from there.
Adobe makes it easier, but you do have software to accomplish this.
Only download Adobe reader from this site, to avoid "fakes/spoofs/malware" that will cause damage to your machine.

Strange characters when copy/paste from Word

Hi,
I have in Word u2018hellou2019 and when I paste it in the Notes of IR and save it, it turns into 018hello 019 so the apostrophes transform into these strange characters.
I checked with Notepad, Excel and Wordpad and this issue does not occur, only for Word.
Do you know why this happens ?
It should be a Word/IE setting as this issue does not occur on a Terminal Server. Only on usersu2019
workstations.
Thank you

Hi Shiva,
Some styles for font of rich text aren't be kept when I copy the content from Word 2013 and paste into a wiki page from SharePoint 2010/2013(even SharePoint 2007 like this
post) site as same as yours, it looks like a limitation.
As a workaround, we can publish the Word content as a Blog article in SharePoint site, then copy the content from the blog page to the needed SharePoint page, it will keep the rich text content format, you can have a try.
