Unable to read Simplified Chinese in downloaded excel

Hi,
We are running an MDMP Simplified Chinese SAP system.
After extracting some data with both English and Simplified Chinese and saving it as excel file, we are not able to view the Simplified Chinese characters when it is opened in MS Excel. "Garbage" are being displayed in place of Simplified Chinese. English display is ok.
The PC already has Simplified Chinese fonts installed (Control Panel->Regional & Language Options->Language tab->Install files for East Asian languages), and Windows XP is an English version.
In addition, we are able to key in Simplified Chinese via the keyboard using Hanyu Pinyin.
I am suspecting that the issue is with MS Excel which doesn't know how to convert the Simplified Chinese.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
as far as I know you need to set the system locale (Language for Non-Unicode programs) of Windows in the control panel to Chinese.
In addition in a standard MDMP system it is mandatory to logon with language Chinese if you want to download Kanji characters.
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

Cannot read simplified Chinese

Dear all,
I have problem in reading a simplified Chinese PDF file. Some characters can't be displayed in Adobe Reader 9.3.2 (in Win XP SP3 English version). I try to copy and paste the content to a Word document, the character can be display.
I already install the Chinese Simplified Fonts Support for Adobe Reader 9, but it doesn't help. Any suggestion?

"When I try to open a Chinese PDF, I get a message saying, "The Simplified Chinese Language Support Package is required to display this page properly." It then offers to install it, and I click "OK". Then it goes through the installation process."
I have the same problem, but I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I have Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 installed. After installation, it reboots my computer, but the same error comes up. After doing this twice, I tried using Control Panel/Programs and Features to Modify the installation and add Simplified Chinese Language Support. That process also completed succssfully (i.e. no error messages) but even after rebooting again, and re-entering control panel, it showed that the support had not been installed. When opening the same document the same message was displayed.
It is clear that Acrobat 9.3.2 has an issue across a number of Windows platforms. Will soneone (anyone?) from Adobe acknowledge this issue?

Hi,
can you describe what is happening when you run the ODI procedure described below:
- Does the procedure fail with an error, if yes, which error(full details)?
- Does the procedure pass but no xslx file is been created?
- Does the procedure pass and an xslx file is been created, but Excel can't read it? If yes, what is the structure of the xslx file when read in an editor?
What I can see from your code below is that you have choosen -FILE_FORMAT=VARIABLE, but the XSLX format is supposed to be XML.

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.

Hi,
Did you create a PivotTable report in the file? As your description, the HTML format could be used correctly in Excel 2007. Did you get the other error message?
Such as,Unable to read file.
When you click OK, you receive the following error message:
Errors were detected in '<var>filename</var>.xls', but Microsoft Excel was able to open the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make these repairs permanent.
PivotTable report '<var>report_name</var>' on '[<var>filename</var>.xls]worksheet_name' was discarded due to integrity problems.
Please try to use the workaround:
Turn off AutoRecovery when you work with any workbooks.Click Excel button>Excel options>Save>Uncheck AutoRecovery

GUI Download Chinese Character to Excel gibberish character

Hi Experts,
I'm facing a problem where I'm using FM gui_download to save Chinese Character into Excel file.
Upon double click to open the excel file, funny character shows up.
But if I were to open the same file using a blank Ms Excel application (Go to File->Open->choose file),
Excel will prompt me to select a proper encoding (GB2312 in this case), and the Chinese character can be seen thereafter.
But, my user doesn't want to go through this.
I've browsed through the forum and someone has posted about this before and it's unanswered.
How to download the chinese character using GUI_DOWNLOAD - unanswered
And, Re: GUI_DOWNLOAD give 2 bytes for each chinese character - I need fixed len which is not related to my problem.
Below is my code:

Hi Nitesh,
Is there a way to check the Excel codepage? Do you mean by codepage = 936 for GB2312 encoding?
Anyway, this issue is fixed. Issue is related to unicode system.
Below codes for gui_download solved the problem.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = p_file
      filetype                = 'DAT'
      codepage                = '4103'
      replacement             = '#'
      write_field_separator   = 'X'
      write_bom               = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab                = i_data_cnvr
      fieldnames              = i_data_head
Codepage = 4103 for utf-16 Unicode system.
Write-bom = 'X' to write Byte-Order-Mark.

I have a vintage mac computer that I am trying to download the asian language pack for simplified chinese; However the error message tells me I need an update installer?? Cannot find the right download for the 10.5.8 OS

I have a 10.5.8 os and need the simplified Chinese languag pack which I have not been able to download. It says I need an update installer which I cannot find as well/ or one that will work. Any suggestions?

Are you sure it is not already there? In system preferences/international/language, don't you see simplified Chinese on the list? It is supposed to be there. You just move it to the top and restart to put the OS into that language.
Missing language packs can also normally be installed by running the Language Translations installers found in the OptionalInstalls.mpkg of the Leopard DVD.

Music Downloads - unable to read or write to disk.

Hi, I'm new to iPods, and when I try to download music
I get the message Unable to update iPod, unable to read / write to disk....
Originally I had no problems now unable to download more than one song at a time, and only the manually... it's taking ages...
Does anyone have any ideas? I've restored, reset everything and downloaded the latest software....

Hi,
Unless you are using OCR (optical character recognition) software when doing the scan, the result of scanning a document is only an image, a picture of the document. Since you only have a picture of the document at this point, the only thing that you can do with it in Word is to insert the image into the document. As an image, you won't be able to edit or search the text that appears in the image. You need to run OCR software to examine the image and convert the images of the characters into editable text. If you are already using OCR software, reply back and let me know which application you are using, and I'll try to help you further.
Hope this helps,
Ken

I have the Mac OS 10.9.4 I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install. Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

I have the Mac OS 10.9.4 I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install. Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

More information would be good.
What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install.
Again, what exactly is happening?
And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

Unable to read the file in excel..

Hi all,
I created a report.for this report It was an excel template. when I click on view button I am getting an error Unable to read file.
I checked my query in database it retrieving 43000 records.
When I am going for rownum<1000 my report is giving successful results.But when I am removing that condition in where clause I am getting error Unable to read file.
Can any one pls help in this.....
Thanks,
KSS.

Not that this really answers your question but... 45K records seems like a lot of data. Perhaps you need to add some conditions to your SQL to limit the records to a more manageable size and make the results more relevant to the task. Just an opinion.
