Typing (c) in 10.5.8 produces symbol!

Whenever I type (c) in Leopard 10.5.8 the characters are automatically replaced by the copyright symbol ©. This occurs in all applications including Safari, Mail, TextEdit etc. I rarely need the copyright symbol but I need to type (c) all the time...
I know this automatic text substitution is a feature of Snow Leopard, but I don't have Snow Leopard. I have tried the terminal command <defaults write -g WebAutomaticTextReplacementEnabled -bool false> which doesn't help.
Any ideas how to turn off this

Carolyn,
Thanks for this suggestion. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have worked. I have identified and trashed com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist, but not found any preference file called com.apple.CharacterPaletteIM.plist (either in ~/Library/Preferences or in /Library/Preferences). I did find com.apple.CharPaletteCache.plist in ~/Library/Preferences, and trashed that too for good luck, but the problem remains.
Tom,
The problem occurs in TextEdit with all fonts. It even applies in the Finder, if I create a new folder and attempt to include (c) in its title, it automatically gives me the © symbol!

8703 typing random letters, can't use some symbols

For some reason which I cannot determine, my blackberry started randomly typing the letter "r" before or after about a quarter of the letters. These letters have no descernible pattern (ie aren't all located beside "r"). As well, some symbols don't work. For example, using "Shift-N" types 3n.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Option 5 produces "§" instead of infinity symbol. Why?

I have two Macs, both Macbook Pro, mid-2009 with latest OS 10.10.2
On one MBP, but not the other, typing <Option + 5> produces the symbol " § " instead of the infinity symbol.
The last time I typed <Option + 5> to get the infinity symbol it worked, but that was months ago.
I have no idea what I've done to create this issue. I'd really like to get my infinity symbol back!
Any suggestions?

Select the correct keyboard layout from the Input menu. If needed, open the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, click on the Input Sources tab, and show it.

Droid 2 Global: symbols attach to last word when typing???

I have searched and did not see any other topics about this. Has anyone noticed a problem while typing on the Droid 2 Global (in text messages, browser, etc) that if you type special characters/symbols, they attach to the end of the word you previously typed?
For example, a normal sentence would type like this:
"Hey I'm running to the store & I'll call you later."
However, on the Droid 2 Global, it types like this:
"Hey I'm running to the store& I'll call you later."
The & automatically attaches to the end of the previous word, even when I press the spacebar before typing it.
This happens for all symbols I have typed. Sure I can go back and edit it, but it is SUCH a pain to go back and RE-ENTER the space, when I already pressed the spacebar in the first place. I have tried turning "auto-correct" off and it still does this while typing. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

This is a well-discussed issue on the Motorola Forums, see https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/316254#316254
for the same issue on the Pro.
It will be fixed in the next update, whenever that will be! Unlike some other stuff though, we can be fairly sure that it WILL be fixed. The Droid X had the same issue and the update to that did solve the problem. One solution discussed there is to download Swiftkey (free) which alsosolves the issue on the physical keyboard. Didn't work for everyone though.

I'm typing gibberish: ∑´¬¬≤ ˆß˜æ† †˙ˆß ˜ˆç´≥ πøøøøøøπ≥

My much abused aluminum G4 has started producing symbols on the screen instead of the letters I am typing. For example:
∑´¬¬≤ ˆß˜æ† †˙ˆß ˜ˆç´≥ πøøøøøøπ≥ ©®®®®®
œ∑´®†¥¨¨ˆˆøπåß∂ƒ©˙˙∆˚¬…æΩ≈≈ç√∫˜µ≤¡™£¢∞§¶•ªº–≠⁄€‹›ﬁﬂ‡°·‚—±Œ„´‰ˇÁ¨ˆØØ∏∏ÅÍÎÏ˝ÓÔ
Other than that it seems normal. It doesn't do it all the time, and tends to start doing it once the PB has warmed up. I haven't changed any settings when it happens.
Has anyone encountered this problem, or have any idea if there might be a cure?

It might be something to do with the option key.

Typing Problem (Maybe a Virus?)

This problem probably first showed up about a week ago, and I think might have gotten worse.
Basically, sometimes when I am typing on my iBook, the characters which come up in result of my typing are not regular letters, but rather, symbols (often times similiar to the letter itself, for example, sometimes if I type "Y" a Yen sign will appear.) This occurs in all application windows, and it sporadic. One moment, I could be typing just fine, and then for a few seconds, it goes to weird type, and then back to regular. (However, the weird type has been showing itself more and more.) This problem will occur in all applications including the finder, and in all text fields. (Tested with iChat, System Preferences, iTunes, Safari, and Camino)
On top of that, it seems like whenever that problem occurs, I can't surf the internet (using either Safari, or Camino), by simply clicking in links, or typing out a URL, but rather, must open every page in a new tab or else the page will simply be downloaded to my desktop.
I've tried rebooting, looking around in the character pallete and input menus in the System Preferences, pretty much everything I guess, and still no fix. On top of that, I had to disable password request when waking from sleep just to ensure it doesn't lock me out of my own iBook. Scary stuff uh?
Ironically, I'm posting this from my PeeCee, but any help would be much appreciated so I can get this little bug resolved. Either here on the forums, or by emailing me at [email protected] would work just fine.
Thank you very much for any aid.

Hi, Nyukin.
I know you've posted this a long time ago, and since there's no more info, you probably have already fixed the issue.
It seemed to be a keyboard malfunction, because those characters are usually activated by holding the ALT key.
Let me know if you had fixed it.

How to use math symbols in a right to left text properly?

Hey there
When I write a simple mathematical equation or a number(which has sign) in the middle of a right to left text in a text box(I simply set keyboard language to EN for typing expressions & numbers) it's like mathematical symbols are somehow not considered math symbols and that's weird since in word it's not that way, take the following sentence for example that means result of the 0-127 expression is -127:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- است.
In word I can type it just fine(for typing expressions and numbers I set keyboard language to EN) but when I type it the same way in adobe acrobat I get this:
حاصل عبارت 0-127 برابر -127 است.
copy & paste from word also doesn't do any help, so If I want to get it right I should type math expressions from right to left meaning as instance to type 0-127 I should first type 127 then - and finally 0 also should type digits of a number before typing its sign as example for typing -127 I should first type 127 then - ,now I wonder is it the way acrobat works or I'm doing something wrong.
By the way OMG o_O even when I did copy & paste my messasge from word to the text box of forum for posting, it ended up treating math parts in upper right to left paragraph the same way as acrobat I just had to write them from right to left!
Anyone has any idea?
Message was edited by: Pooria

In a word document I wrote:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- اسـت
Then tried printing it using "Adobe PDF" printer, in output pdf that sentence was written in right order and interestingly it was broken into three text boxes thanks for reply.

How to use Field-symbol with dynamic select query

Can anybody tell me, how to use field-symbols in the dynamic select query.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> { typing | STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj }.
1. ... typing
2. ... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
The FIELD-SYMBOLS statement declares a field symbol <fs>. The name conventions apply to the name fs. The angle brackets of the field symbols indicate the difference to data objects and are obligatory. You can declare field symbols in any procedure and in the global declaration section of an ABAP program, but not in the declaration section of a class or an interface. You can use a field symbol in any operand position in which it is visible and which match the typing defined using typing.
After its declaration, a field symbol is initial - that is, it does not reference a memory area. You have to assign a memory area to it (normally using the ASSIGN statement) before you can use it as an operand. Otherwise an exception will be triggered.
eg.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY.
DATA: BEGIN OF line,
 string1(10) VALUE '0123456789',
 string2(10) VALUE 'abcdefghij',
 END OF line.
WRITE / line-string1+5.
ASSIGN line-string1+5(*) TO <fs>.
WRITE / <fs>.
output:
56789

FIELD-GROUPS
Syntax
FIELD-GROUPS { header | field_group }.
Declaration of a field group for the extract dataset of the program. Each field group represents the name of a line structure of the extract dataset. You can create as many field groups as you wish in a program. You define the actual components of a field group with the statement INSERT.
The denominator of a field group is either the predefined name header or any name field_group. If you declare a field group header, it automatically becomes the beginning part of all remaining field groups of the program and its components constitute the standard sort key of the extract dataset for the statement SORT.
The statement FIELD-GROUPS is possible in the global declaration-part of an ABAP program, as well as in the subprograms and function modules. Field groups that are declared in procedures are visible only there.
As you can only define global data objects as components of field groups with the statement INSERT, we recommend to declare field groups only in the global declaration part as well.

Syntax
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> { typing | STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj }.
Extras:
1. ... typing
2. ... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
Effect
The FIELD-SYMBOLS statement declares a field symbol <fs>. The naming conventions apply to the name fs. The angle brackets of the field symbols indicate the difference to data objects and are obligatory. You can declare field symbols in any procedure and in the global declaration section of an ABAP program, but not in the declaration section of a class or an interface. You can use a field symbol in any operand position in which it is visible and which match the typing defined using typing.
After its declaration, a field symbol is initial - that is, it does not reference a memory area. You have to assign a memory area to it (normally using the ASSIGN statement) before you can use it as an operand. Otherwise an exception will be triggered.
Addition 1
... typing
Effect
You can use the addition typing to type the field symbol. The syntax of typing is described under Syntax of Typing. The typing specifies which memory areas can be assigned to the field symbol (see Checking the Typing) and in which operand positions it can be used.
Note
You can omit the addition typing outside of methods. In this case, the field symbol has the complete generic type any and is implicitly assigned the predefined constant space during the declaration.
Addition 2
... STRUCTURE struc DEFAULT dobj
Effect
If you specify the addition STRUCTURE instead of typing for a field symbol, and struc is a local program structure (a data object, not a data type) or a flat structure from the ABAP Dictionary, this structure is cast for the field symbol <fs>. You have to specify a data object dobj that is initially assigned to the field symbol.
The field symbol copies the technical attributes of structure struc as if it were completely typed. When you assign a data object using the addition DEFAULT, or later using ASSIGN, its complete data type is not checked in non- Unicode programs. Instead, the system merely checks whether it has at least the length of the structure and its alignment.
In Unicode programs, we differentiate between structured and elementary data objects. For a structured data object dobj, its Unicode fragment view has to match the one of struc. In the case of an elementary data object, the object must be character-type and flat, and struc must be purely character-type. The same applies to assignments of data objects to field symbols typed using STRUCTURE when using the ASSIGN statement.
Note
Field symbols declared using the addition STRUCTURE are a mixture of typed field symbols and a utility for casting structured data types. You should use the additions TYPE or LIKE for the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement to type field symbols, while the addition CASTING of the ASSIGN statement is used for casting.
Example
The first example shows the obsolete usage of the addition STRUCTURE.
DATA wa1 TYPE c LENGTH 512.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <scarr1> STRUCTURE scarr DEFAULT wa1.
<scarr1>-carrid = '...'.
The second example shows the replacement of STRUCTURE with the additions TYPE and CASTING.
DATA wa2 TYPE c LENGTH 512.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <scarr2> TYPE scarr.
ASSIGN wa2 TO <scarr2> CASTING.
<scarr2>-carrid = '...'.
Also,
Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1

Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.

Unicode conversion causing OCRA, OCRB, and MICR lines to output as symbols

Hi,
I am tesing the printing of SAPScript invoices in a Unicode converted sandbox copy of our production system. When viewing the OTF output of an invoice I noticed that the line for postal barcode using OCR-B font is producing # symbols instead of numbers reprsenting the postal zip code. This works in the Non-Unicode environment on our production server.
The printer is an HPLJ8150. The device type for the printer that is used for the invoice, is ZHP8150, which uses the base device type of HPLJ8000. The character set is 1116, which is ISO 8859-1.
Can anyone tell me how to go about correcting this problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Nils,
Thank you for the information. I have created a new message in the Form Printing forum. Since this is something that was changed after the unicode conversion, I think I will leave this message open a little while longer incase someone who experienced this type of issue is looking in this forum.
Two things I should add. One, the font used for the device type is working in a Non-Unicode production system at this time. Two, the OTF output of the spool is not printed on our printer but is instead converted to XML and the resulting file is FTP'd to a third party for printing. So the zip code that is represented by the bar code font is just the numerical text that is in the OTF output which is sent in the XML file.
Regards,
Mark

Maintenance cost by produced unit

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for some tables where I could find the budget for a specific area in a period. I know this information could be retrieved from FICO tables but I dont know the FICO tables.
I need to develop a report retrieving the budget for a specific area, type produced units in the selection screen in a period and calculate the cost by unit.
In the selection screen i will have the next parameters:
Area:
Fiscal Year:
Period:
Produced Units:
The report will be displayed this way:
Budget Produced unit Cost by unit
Maintenance 1250 859 1.46
Regards...

Hi Dileep,
I'am reviewing S_ALR_87013620 report but I need to create a very specific report but I don't have the enough knowledge for using GR55 transaction.
The client is requesting a similar report, He requires a report with 3 columns: the first column will have the same information than the first column in S_ALR_87013620 report (Actual budget or Actual cost ), in the second column it is required a typed data in the selection screen (produced unit by period) and the third column it will be a formula (first column divided by second column) and that's it.
I copied 1OAB report group and 1OAB-001 report, both as "Z". I have worked on the report modifing it and I have achieved to remove the others columns that I don't need and I have achieved to insert the formula in the third column(first column divided by second column), but I don't know how to define a new parameter in the selection screen where the user could type the produced units in a specific area in the company and how to display that typed data ( produced units in a specific area ) in the second column when the report be displayed, in this way I will have the cost by produced unit in a specific period of a year for a specific cost center and cost element(this is the objective of the report).
I don't know if you understand my idea, but basically the issue is how to insert a new parameter in the selection screen and how to display that typed data in the second column of my report?.

Unable to use the "Alt Gr"-button

Hello,
I've just installed Arch again after being on W7 for 2 last year.
But it seems that the "Alt Gr"-button wont work properly.
I'm using LXDE and I've tried to find an answear about the problem but so far nothing.
The layout I am using is se_SV and the Alt Gr button is essencital for us sweds since it is in the combaination to typ the @-sign.
I believe that the keyboard works properly outside LXDE so I would assume that the problem envolvs around LXDE.
Any ideas?

Solved:
The default xmodmap is useless for swedish keyboards since most keymappings looks like this:
keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl 2 quotedbl at twosuperior
This is the mapping for key the "2". The symbols after the '=' is:
2: produces '2' by typing 2 without modifier
quotedbl: produces '"' by typing 2 with shift
2: produces '2' by typing 2 with Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
quotedbl: produces '"' by typing 2 with shift+Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
The rest of the mappings is unaccesible for my keyboard. See the problem?
Changing the keycode mapping with
xmodmap -e "keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl at twosuperior"
gives
2: produces '2' by typing 2 without modifier
quotedbl: produces '"' by typing 2 with shift
at: produces '@' by typing 2 with Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
twosuperior: produces '²' by typing 2 with shift+Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
To do the same for all relevant keys I kopied the keymap
xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmaprc
I edited the ~/.xmodmaprc file like above for all relevant keycodes and then loaded the file with
xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
on startup wia the autostart script for the LXDE session

Typing (c) in 10.5.8 produces symbol!
