Unicode - Japanese Char problems on EN logon

Hi Everyone,
We recently upgraded our system, from a non-unicode to a unicode system. Whenever i view a SAPscript report using english logon that contains both japanese & english characters in one field, the print preview is ok, displaying correct data in both languages. The problem arises when i try to print the report. All japanese characters are garbled, while all english characters are still ok.
I tried logging in using japanese language, and printed a japanese report that uses both characters, and everything was ok, in both print preview & hardcopy printout.
BTW, we're using version 640 for our SAP GUI, with patch level 19.
Hoping for your inputs. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If your system is unicode enabled, you should use true type fonts in the paragraph format to display the multi language characters. In the japanese language form did you use any special type of font types you use? Normally all the special font types will support english and not all the english fonts will support the local language characters.
Since the output is printing fine with the Janpanese language there should not be any problem with the printer drivers, otherwise we need to check the drivers also.
Hope this helps you

ERP 2005 / Unicode / Japanese char's in download file.

Hi,
We login with language = JA and executes transac. ME2L. The output appears on the screen and now we want save a local file *.txt.
However, since this is output with Japanese characters, the vertikal graphic characters that generates the frame for the downloaded content looks odd.
The vertikal lines are broken and not straight anymore.
This is the right side of the page and frame. Because of the Japanese user, these downloads look bad.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks.

Japanese chars display in Solaris 8

I have a sun box with solaris 8 and Windows NT. I had FTP a notepad file containing japanese text from windows NT to the Solaris Environment but whenever the file is opened in solaris using editors like vi or dtpad, some special characters appear in place of japanese chars. I have also tried :-
-- FTP the file in binary form from windows to solaris
-- Changing the "locale" value to ja_JP.UTF8
-- Changing the language option to en_US.UTF8 at the login screen.
But the problem still persists. Kindly help me out.

Create HTML file that can display unicode (japanese) characters

Hi,
Product:           Java Web Application
Operating system:     Windows NT/2000 server, Linux, FreeBSD
Web Server:          IIS, Apache etc
Application server:     Tomcat 3.2.4, JRun, WebLogic etc
Database server:     MySQL 3.23.49, MS-SQL, Oracle etc
Java Architecture:     JSP (presentation) + Java Bean (Business logic)
Language:          English, Japanese, chinese, italian, arabic etc
Through our java application we need to create HTML files that have to display unicode text. Our present works well with English and most of the european character set. But when we tried to create HTML files that will display unidoce text, say japanese, only ???? is getting displayed. Following is the code we have used. The out on the browser displays the japanese characters correctly. But the created file displays only ??? in place of japanese chars. Can anybody tell how can we do it?
<%
String s = request.getParameter( "txt1" );
out.println("Orignial Text " + s);
//for html output
String f_str_content="";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<HTML><HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<META content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<BODY> ";
f_str_content = f_str_content +s;
f_str_content = f_str_content +"</BODY></HTML>";
f_str_content = new String(f_str_content.getBytes("8859_9"),"Shift_JIS");
out.println("file = " + f_str_content);
          byte f_arr_c_buffer1[] = new byte[f_str_content.length()];
f_str_content.getBytes(0,f_str_content.length(),f_arr_c_buffer1,0);
          f_arr_c_buffer1 = f_str_content.getBytes();
FileOutputStream l_obj_fout; //file object
//file object for html file
File l_obj_f5 = new File("jap127.html");
if(l_obj_f5.exists()) //for dir check
l_obj_f5.delete();
l_obj_f5.createNewFile();
l_obj_fout = new FileOutputStream(l_obj_f5); //file output stream for writing
for(int i = 0;i<f_arr_c_buffer1.length;i++ ) //for writing
l_obj_fout.write(f_arr_c_buffer1);
l_obj_fout.close();
%>
thanx.

Try changing the charset attribute within the META tag from 'utf-8' to 'SHIFT_JIS' or 'utf-16'. One of those two ought to do the trick for you.
Hope that helps,

WebUtil Using Client_Text_IO with Japanese chars

Hi, I am trying to use Client_Text_IO to read text file with Japanese characters in it. But it seems like Client_Text_IO can't read Japanese chars properly. Can anyone tell me how to use Client_Text_IO with double byte
chars like Japanese?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Frank,
Thank you for your reply. Could you be a bit more specific about what this bug 3075927 really is? Is this a problem only in handling files with muli-byte chars or does it have an effect on other functions? And is there any workaround for it?
Thanks

perl script can read the database and display the result on browser.
But If i try the get the japanese string in Java using JDBC. I got an
exception:
String text = resultset.getString(1);
Exception in main(): java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert between
UTF8 and UCS2: failUTF8Conv
I wonder why I getting this exception and how to fix this?

Hi
We had faced the same problem.
Problem was with oracle jdbc thin driver.
We change the driver from THIN to OCI that works fine.
Try this option and pls let me know.

ThrowNew() with Japanese chars went wrong

Hi All.
I want to throw exception that has Japanese chars from C++ code.
char szMsg[256];
// put Japanese chars into szMsg.
// ... and throw exception.
env->ThrowNew(exceptionClass, (const char*)szMsg);
Then, in Java code, it is displayed with unreadable characters like "????".
How can I get a readable string from C++?
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
But I'm not familiar with C++, could you tell me in detail?
My project is compiled with _MBCS option, and I tried to convert string to UNICODE to get readable string in JNI by using
(1) MultiByteToWideChar(...)
const char* szErrMsg = "...."; // including Japanese character
WCHAR szUnicodeMsg[256];
MultiByteToWideChar(GetACP(), 0, szErrMsg, -1, szUnicodeMsg,
sizeof(szUnicodeMsg)/sizeof(wchar_t));
env->ThrowNew(ExceptionCls, (const char*)szUnicodeMsg);
(2) mbstowcs(...)
mbstowcs(szUnicodeMsg, szErrMsg, strlen(szErrMsg)+1);
env->ThrowNew(ExceptionCls, (const char*)szUnicodeMsg);
(3) T2CW() macro
env->ThrowNew(ExceptionCls, (const char*)T2CW(szErrMsg));
Result
In case (1), unexpected string (like "B0D0F0H0J0?0") was displayed.
(by calling Throwable#getMessage() in JNI)
In case (2), only '?' was displayed in JNI.
In case (3), I got the same result as case (1).
Do you mean another way?
Thank you.

Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) in the new file name into a Unicode ellipsis char \342\200\246 in the file name. How prevent this ?

Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) into a Unicode ellipsis char ( \342\200\246 ) in the file name that I type. How does one prevent this ?

I know nothing about “EndNote”, but allow me to give you some general advice. Your first, commented-out, line (“--section to wait for window to pop up”) indicates that you need to change the basic way you are tackling what you want to do. When writing any script, if you know the name and location of a file or a directory (folder) you should not cause (or allow, or need) your script to open an Open or a Save window -- just use the path that you already know.

Problem with SAP logon 720 for printng with Citrix.

Hi,
I have a problem with sap logon 720 when printing for Citrix, one time print and other time don't print....
I try to start SAPLPD for prompt comand... it's start but don't print....
i'm write here for look if other people have this problem... I dont know what I can do.....
Thank you very much....

Hi Itmar,
I was having the similar issue on my Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server. At times SAP prints stop working. Then i changed Printer Type to "G" and it had solved the problem. It skips the use of SAPLPD service and calling windows printing service directly.
Just try with that.

Japanese font problem fixed.

The Japanese font problem was fixed in the recent update. The Kaku Gothic font now shows in the correct font-weight.
Only Kaku Std which is a fat font is still a bit fat, but that's how it is.

(the first three danger signs have been fixed)

where exactly u r using the japenese charecters??
r u using inthe Java programme or r u using in html page.

Char, UTF, Unicode, International chars

Hi all,
Could anybody make a brief summary of the connections among the char data type, UTF, Unicode, International chars?
Thanks!

The java char data type usually contains one unicode character. However, some unicode characters are larger than 16 bits (which is the size of char). Those characters are represented by multiple chars. There are multiple byte encodings for Unicode. Two of the most common are UTF-8 and UTF-16. The char data type stores characters in the UTF-16 encoding. UTF-8 is a common format for serializing unicode since it takes up half the space of UTF-16 for the most common characters. Also, UTF-8 deals with bytes, so byte order is not an issue when transfering between different platforms. Finally, one of the best reasons to use UTF-8 is that for characters with code < 128, UTF-8 is identical to ascii.
Every character is an international character.
