Unable to display Chinese character in non-unicode system properly.

Hi, all
My system has been upgraded from 4.6C to 6.0 which is non-unicode system. Chinese characters with long length will be cut and cannot wrap automatically. But it's OK to alphabetes. How could I resolve this?
Thanks..
TD. Wei

The simple and easy way to check
non-unicode character sets are not supported on unicode system any longer. Am I right?
Transaction code i18N
Select
trouble shooting --> printing test --> smartforms --> multiple scripts, select your output device and see print preview. it will display all supported characters.
I guess, above information will be useful for closing the thread.
Regards,
SaiRam

Double byte language i.e Japanese or Chinese text in non Unicode System

Hi,
I have translated text into Chinese and Japanese in a Unicode system and want to move it into a non Unicode system. Would Chinese/Japanese characters display correctly in a non Unicode system when moved from Unicode system. I am doing translation in ECC60 or SAP 4.7 Unicode system and moving to SAP 4.7 non Unicode system.
Thanks

Hi Balakrishna,
in general the transport between Unicode and Non-Unicode systems is supported.
However there are restrictions, which are outlined in SAP note 638357.
In your case it is a prerequisite that the objects to be transported are language dependent (text lang. flag is set on the language key - see SAP note 480671) and the languages are properly setup in the target systems.
For double byte data there is a specific issue when transferring data from Unicode to Non-Unicode:
In a Non-Unicode system, one double-byte character needs two bytes, therefore e.g. in a 10 char field, 5 double byte chars are fitting. In a Unicode system, you can insert 10 double-byte chars in a 10 char field. Hence there is a risk of truncating characters in case of Unicode --> Non-Unicode communication.
Please also have a look at SAP notes 1322715 and 745030.
Best regards,
Nils

DSO content can't display Chinese character

Hello experts,
I extract data from non-sap system (non-unicode) to BW DSO (7.0 unicode).
The DTP, data extraction and the activation all work fine.
However, the content of the DSO can't display the Chinese character.
Is there any setting I miss?
How can it display Chinese character as the data in source system?
Any information is very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Make sure Chinese Language Patch applied on BW system. You can see Chinese does not mean Chinese Language Patch applied.
However, even if Language Patch is not applied, you still can see Chinese in reports via Portal.
Good luck

Display chinese character HTML in iPS3sp3

Hi there,
I am using iPS3sp3 and I modified it so that JSP can display chinese character correctly. But somehow I still can not display the chinese character in normal HTML.For instance, I put chinese character in Ldap.properties file but when user go to the Ldap login screen, the chinese can not be displayed correctly. The following is the modification I have done and can anybody please give me some help?
adding zh_TW in iwtPlatform-availableLocales
adding zh_TW in iwtPlatform-locale
adding BIG5 in iwtPlatform-HTMLcharset
adding ips.locale=en_US,zh_TW,zh_TW.BIG5 in platform.conf file
Setting, User's Default Locale: zh_TW
Setting, User's Default HTML charset: BIG5

Finally, I made it work. The solution is pretty straight forward. All I need to do is to convert these kind of html file to utf8 encoded files and then, it works perfectly. Hope this might be useful for some people.

Error during Upgradation SCM 5.0 to SCM 5.1 Non-Unicode System

Hi,
I am Upgrading SCM 5.0 Non-Unicode System to SCM 5.1 Non-unicode on Windows 2003 Server with MSS 2005 DB. During the initial PREPARE (EXTRACTKRN_PRE) phase I am getting an error like
init

SEVERE ERROR(S) OCCURRED IN EXTRACTKRN_PRE !!!
The file name it is looking for does not exist in any of the Kernel versions I have checked. If I try to skip this step it is asking for the PASSWORD. How can I get this password? (only from SAP Support or any note?).
What is the Solution for the above ERROR. Please help.
Thanks,

It's the first entry in every forum, it contains the "Rules of Engagement" which say:

Post your question in the most appropriate forum; not multiple forums. This is bad netiquette and will might only aggravate potential repliers.
Just imagine if everyone like you would paste questions in several forums.

Client Copy between unicode system and non-unicode system

Hello,
we have to build up a new system for japan. It is planned to install a new 4.7Ext200 unicode system and then make a client copy from a non-unicode 4.7Ext200 (language= german, english) system to the unicode system. I don't think that this is possible way, but I can't find information regarding client copies from non-unicode to unicode. I would advice the project to convert the existing non-unicode system to unicode, make a system copy for the new system and then install japan languages. Any information, which can help me.
Regards,
Alexander

Hi,
without conversion client copy is not possible

Pdf conversion from a non unicode system to a unicode system

Hi,
I have a BSP application that runs on a unicode system which retrieves data to be output in pdf from a non unicode sap system.
We get the data from the non unicode system through a RFC call and store data in table otfdata type itcoo, then we perform the conversion through the following:
perform pdfcnv_convertotf in program saplstxw
tables otfdata
pdf
using
'T'
archive_index
1
'T'
pdf_bytecount
app_tot_xstring
and then perform the hex conversion, but the printout is full of # chars. The good characters are followed by the # char. It looks like the unicode conversion is not good.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Donatella

Welcome to SDN
check out this weblog where Thomas Jung explains unicode conversion for excel, the same thing could be applied in your case as well

Standard Code Pages in Non-Unicode System

Our System is Non-Unicode System , Single Code page configuration and Standard Code Page ISO8859-1(Latin-1) is Active.
Is it only 1 standard code page ISO8859-1(Latin-1) WILL BE ACTIVE or also other code pages ISO8859-2,ISO8859-5,ISO8859-7,ISO8859-8,ISO8859-9 also be ACTIVE in the system , and it will call the code page if the installed Europe Language call for.
Because we require additional Europe languages to be support in our current non-unicode system.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopal

Hello,
please be more specific which application. As I know there is also Latin-2 support for EBP (non-unicode) while for CCM from release 2 SAP added Latin-2 support.
SRM is not translated much more from "big 5" languages, but there was effort to translate to Hungarian as I know.

CP850_BIN2 for non unicode systems??

Hi All
This is possibly a really stupid question and I think I know the answer, but I need some one else to say yes!
We are currently running a SQL upgrade, from 2000 to 2005, for ore ECC6 platform. As part of the upgrade it is recommended that you change the DB collation from SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN to SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_BIN2 which allows unicode data to be sorted properly.
My question is, if this enhancement is to correct a unicode issue, will it affect my current non-unicode system if applied. I don't want it to cause any issues if I apply it during the upgrade.
I don't think it will for various reasons, but I am not 100% can anone let me know if I am right, please!
Thanks in advance!
Phil

Hi,
you will have no issues with your current system when you go to BIN2 now (before you upgrade to SQL 2005). And you have to keep in mind, that you have to have BIN2 for all newer releases of SAP. So if you plan to ever upgrade your system to a newer release in some point in time, you should go to BIN2 now, as otherwiese you have to perform a homogenous systemcopy with R/3 (which is not so much fun) if you miss it now. On SQL 2005 you can't change the collation easily, so if you don't have the correct one, you only can change it when you unload the data, drop the DB, create the DB in the correct collation and reload the data.

Clas
