To check whether all chars meet ISO-8859-1 char set

HI,
I am Getting the Description of the Material number in a Report.
I Need to check whether each char by char of Material description belongs to ISO-8859-1 char set.
How to check that?

Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
* [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
# The ''Content-Type'' response header.
# The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

Jaxb unmarshal error due to iso-8859-15 character set

I am currently attempting to use JAXB to handle XML unmarshaling. Is there a way to set the encoding used to unMarshall a message to iso-8859-15 as the messages coming in do not have an xml header with encoding specified?

I don't understand. If the XML messages coming in don't specify their own encoding, then their encoding must be UTF-8 or UTF-16. There's no possibility that their encoding can be ISO-8859-15. So why would you want to use ISO-8859-15 to decode them?

Reverting from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hi,
i have a database installed in UTF-8, it´s a new instalation and the guides i had didnt mention any restrictions on characterset for the teams that were migrating.
Well the problem is some teams are moving some of their projects to the new server and can´t insert in a VARCHAR2 (3), for example the word "não".
My question is: Can i change the whole database to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 in order to have words like "não" inserted correctly? If so, is it a simple alter database or a more complicated operation?
Another question, is there any possibility of letting the database as is and make it work without expanding the fields value restriction?

You can't change a database character set from ISO-8859-1 to UTF8. You can only move from one character set to a strict superset, which doesn't apply here. The supported way to change the character set here would be to create a new database with the ISO-8859-1 character set, export the existing data, and import it into the new system. That assumes, of course, that all the existing characters have an ISO-8859-1 representation (characters like the Euro symbol or Microsoft's curly quotes do not).
By default, a VARCHAR2(3) allocates 3 bytes of space for data. That gets complicated when you use a multi-byte character set like UTF-8 where a character like 'ã' requires 2 bytes of storage. You can define the columns as VARCHAR2(3 CHAR) to allocate 3 characters of storage regardless of the character set. You can also set the parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR to make the default when you create a table that character rather than byte length semantics are set. Personally, if I'm creating a UTF8 database, I'd want to set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR.

Help needed to enable ISO-8859-1 encoding in Weblogic 10.3

We have upgraded from Weblogic 10 to Weblogic 10.3. In the old environment foreign characters (iso-8859-1 charater set) were enabled using the Java properties "*-Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 -Dclient.encoding.override=iso-8859-1*".
Also, we set the page encoding in the JSPs to be
_'<%@ page pageEncoding="iso-8859-1" contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" %>'._
This was working fine. We were able to input characters like euro (€) and display it back to user.
After we upgraded to Weblogic 10.3, I applied the same Java properties, all the special characters of the 8859-1 set like Æ, Ã etc are just displayed as garbled text like 'ï¿½ï¿½ï' etc. So, the new server is unable to handle/encode these characters.
Our weblogic environment is - Weblogic appserver 10.3, JRockit 1.6.0_31-R28.2.3-4.1.0 running on Linux OS.
Is there any additional seting in 10.3 to encode character sets?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kalyan,
Thanks for the info. Please help me understand just one more thing, before I ask our server team to apply the patch.
I checked the full version of our Weblogic server from WEBLOGIC_HOME/registry.xml. It is *<component name="WebLogic Server" version="10.3.6.0" >*.
The patch from MOS says it is *"Release WLS 10.3.3"*. Does this mean the version 10.3.6 should already have this patch? Is the release of Patch same as WLS version?
Should I still go ahead and install the patch for this version 10.3.6 also?
Thanks again.

To check whether there is any size mismatch between columns of two tables

Hi,
Here i got two tables T and M where i am going to migrate data from T to M. But before migrating i need to check whether all the data in source table fits into destination table columns. The datatypes of all columns in source table T is of Varchar2 only as it is a temp table.
Ex :- Table 'T' (Source table) with columns
T_Lat Varchar2(50);
T_Amt Varchar2(50);
T_Cat Varchar2(50);
T_Vat Varchar2(50);
Now I have another table 'M'(Destination Table) with columns
M_Lat Varchar2(50);
M_Amt varchar2(25);
M_Cat date;
M_Vat number;
Now my task is I have to do a prevalidation of the data in 'T' that whether all the data in those columns will suit for the destination table columns respectively (to check whether there is any size mismatch). This check should be done dynamically.
For suppose, in T_Amt(source column of T table) if text is abt 50 characters, it cant fit M_Amt(destination column of M table). In this case it should throw an error indicating that destination column size is less for the source column.
Note:- There is no unique mapping column for these two tables and there are about 400 columns in the source table to be validate
I think it can be done using arrays or plsql tables.
Can any one help in this regard.

Just because the source table T_Amt column is defined as 50 doesn't mean any of the data is really that long. So the data itself needs to be checked. That is just what a simple query can do.

There are 14 total records, 2 where JOB is null, 4 where the JOB is SALESMAN. The MIN length of the JOB data is 5 and the MAX is 9.
Look at the date values. The results tell me I have some problem data.
The length data tells me if I try to put the JOB data into another table I need to define the length as at least 9 or it won't fit.
For your use case you might find that all of the data in the T_Lat column is shorter than 26 and will actually fit into the M_Lat target table column.

Iso-8859-1 to UTF-8

JExpert,
The encoding of my current servlet is iso-8859-1 when i execute the following method. How can I change it into UTF-8?
     public void displaySkinFile(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp, String skinFile) throws ServletException, IOException {
          try {
               String fileContent = getFileContent(skinFile);
               resp.setContentType("text/html");
System.out.println("encoding="+resp.getCharacterEncoding());
               PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
               out.println(fileContent);
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
               logAndRedirect(req, resp, skinFile);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               logAndRedirect(req,resp,skinFile);
Thanks!!

I am having a similar problem, but whenever I do the setContentType, it is not actually switching it for me. Any ideas?
CODE:
     protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
               throws ServletException, IOException {
          PrintWriter w = resp.getWriter();
          String text;
          String path = null;
          text = map.getDocumentText(path);
               System.out.println("BEFORE: Char Encoding");
               System.out.println(resp.getCharacterEncoding());
               System.out.println("BEFORE: Content Type");
               System.out.println(resp.getContentType());
          resp.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8");
          resp.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
          resp.setContentLength(text.length());
          w.write(text);
               System.out.println("AFTER: Char Encoding");
               System.out.println(resp.getCharacterEncoding());
               System.out.println("AFTER: Content Type");
               System.out.println(resp.getContentType());
CONSOLE OUTPUT:

text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

Put euro symbol in ISO-8859-1 database

is it possible to use jdbc to store a euro symbol in oracle with character set ISO-8859-1 then retrieve the information with jdbc and write it to a ISO-8859-15 textfile and display the euro symbol properly. i'm trying to do this and it doesn't work. as output i use a OutputStreamWriter object in Java using ISO-8859-15 to create an XML file and then i open it in Internet Explorer. it doen't recognize the euro symbols. strange thing is that when i view the source in notepad it does display the euro symbols properly. just using the OutputStreamWriter to write euro symbols also works well.
i'm trying to find out what is causing this problem but i'm not quite sure. i never before had problems with character sets so it's all a bit new to me.
thank you in advance.

The ISO-8859-1 character set does not contain the Euro character, so the database cannot hold it properly. If you want the Euro character to appear in your database, you would have to change the database character set to something that can store the euro character (or make use of your national character set, if that will store the euro character).

Labview support for ISO 8859-5

HI,
does Labview support ISO 8859-5 character sets?
If yes, then how do i change the default character set in Labview from ASCII to ISO 8859-5?
If no, then which is the simplest way to display russian characters in Labview 6.1 (Labview 6.1 on SuSE LINUX)
Thanks and Regards,
Pavitra

Hi Pavitra,
There is a very easy way to do that in Windows. Start>Settings>Regional and Language Options. Make sure Russian is included as an input language language on the language tab, as well as on the advanced tab where you can specify the language for non-unicode programs.
I have attached a screenshot that demonstrates cyrillic fonts in LabVIEW. The example is done with Bulgarian font, but it should work the same way with Russian. As you can see I have also specified Arial CYR as my font for the front panel and the block diagram.
Try to use the same logic for a Linux system.
Hope that helps!

String "iso-8859-1" found in subject line of java mail API(when German char

We have written a mail client using java mail API and it works fine. Some body sends the email with subject line contains German chars(using some other mail client like outlook)
and our mail client is running on the machine whose Local has been set 'German'.
Now, while getting the subject line
Javax.mail.Message email; //local variable
// some how I am intializing email.
String str = email.getSubject();
the value of str returns "Bitte die 4 Items I�schen. Kein Bedarf. Ich kann die=?iso-8859-1?Q?_L=F6schung_nic?="
but actual value subject line was "Bitte die 4 Items I�schen. Kein Bedarf. Ich kann die L�schung nic"
So '�' char was repalced by some arbit chars.
Moreover, Charset.defaultCharset().name() returns 'windows-1252'
Please suggest me how I can get the actual subject line
Thanks

How to check whether a char string is in uppercase or not

Hi,
I know how to convert strings to change strings to uppercase or lowercase, but is there any function to check, beforehand, if the field is in uppercase, for instance ? The intention here is simply to spare processing in situations where the string is already in uppercase, and thus not needing any further processing (given I want to turn the string into uppercase.)
Thanks in advance,
Avraham

Hi Avraham ,
To check whether the string is in upper case or not use CA keyward.
To check try the following code ---
DATA : W_STRING(5) TYPE C,
W_ABCDE(26) TYPE C VALUE 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.
w_string = 'abcd'.
IF W_STRING CA W_ABCDE.
TRANSLATE w_string TO UPPER CASE.
ELSE.
MESSAGE 'It is a uppercase string' TYPE 'S'.
ENDIF.
Try this link this will definitely help you -

Unable to load database, locales [Arabic_SaudiArabia.ISO-8859-6@Default]

When trying to load data into Essbase I get this error dialogue
Object [65313270] is locked by user [admin@Native Directory]
Unable to load database, locales [Arabic_SaudiArabia.ISO-8859-6@Default] and [English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary] are not compatible
Object [65313270] unlocked by user [admin@Native Directory]
Unexpected Essbase error 1019057
Have checked essbase.properties files (all 10 of them!) and the 2 references that I could find both point to the default value of [English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary]
So is the problem with the CSV file?

Have you looked at the Load Rule (yes, I know, developed in Studio, but it generates Load Rules which I believe you can open in EAS)? Is the dimension that contains BON accounted for?
Your second issue(s) seems to be that you have conflicting locales -- are you in SA? Could it be that Studio is installed with English as the language and EAS with Arabic (or vice versa)? Sorry, I have hardly any experience in languages other than English. Maybe one of the non-English language posters can chime in.
I can't say whether that load buffer issue means anything at all or not -- it could be a red herring.
