Unicode literal for '\' (Backslash)

Hi there!
I've got a problem with the Java compiler. I think he is cheating me!
Just the simple command:
System.out.println('\u005c');
causes the error:
Import.java:171: unclosed character literal
System.out.println('\u005c');
^
The unicode character 005c is the backslash, and the backslash itself is the start to any escape sequence.
But isnt it possible to express the '\' as a unicode escape sequence?!?
Is this a bug of the compiler?
Greetings Maik

You are expressing \u005c as an escape, just don't realize it...
The compiler read your println statement and converted the '\u005c' to '\'. This illegal character (see below) terminated reading of the line. As a result, the compiler didn't see the trailing single quote and the trailing parenthesis.
Since it had read the first single quote, but not the second, it issued the error "unclosed character literal".
You should have also received an error "')' expected" for the same reason. Did you?
(3.10.4 Character Literals, The Java Language Specification, notes that single character literals of '\' are not legal and will result in a compile-time error, as it did above.)

How to get the unicode escapes for characters outside a characterset

Hi!
I'm tryiing to edit into a RTF file and have been fairly successful so far. But living outside the U.S i need some characters outside ASCII. Those characters are supposed to be escaped as unicode-escapes, eg \u45. But I can't find a way to get the escapesequense for the unicode-characters that lives outside ASCII.
I'm guessing that this is a very simple thing to do but I have not been lucky with google so far.
So, how do I get the unicode escapes for characters outside a characterset?
Thanks in advance

As a guess....
Unicode is 32 bit (presumably you are not using the newest one.) Thus it requires a 32 bit representation. Thus \u45 actually is the same as \u0045. Thus something like \u1e45 would probably work.

Unicode mode for Planning applications

Is Unicode mode for Planning applications allowed in 11.1.2.1? If so how do you allow it?
Seems that it is not allowed but the documentation is ambigious, and a search on the forum does not give clear answer.

Thanks!
But then why does the 8-character limit apply to unicode planning application names?
Shouldn't ticking that checkbox enable longer application names?
What's the limit for unicode Essbase applications, 32 characters? Then one should also be able to give a new unicode planning application a 32 character long name when in the create new planning application dialogue box, given that the data source is 'unicode'.

Unicode check for SmartForm / SAPScript

Hi,
How can we do unicode check for SmartForm / SAPScript? TX UCCHECK does not help me out.
thanks !
Chika

Hi Chika,
first try to find out ABAP function module name which is representing your smartforms (via TA smartforms->put your form name -> Display -> menu: Environment->Function module name). Then find corresponding function group where this function module belongs. Afterward put this ABAP function group name into TA UCCHECK.
I believe this would work.

Unicode conversion for ERP

Morning!
In that famous OSS note about unicode conversion, the attached guides are labeled
as NW unicode conversion guides.
-- ERP can use the same guides?
-- how about the unicode conversion for other products such as SM, SCM, CRM, etc.?
Thank you!

Hi,
Answer to both the questions would be Yes. The conversion guides are as per the Netweaver base release for any of the applications (ERP, SCM, SRM, CRM etc).
Eg, If converting a CRM 2005 Non-Unicode to Unicode, the guide SCP700SP<xx> would be relevant, because the Netweaver 700 SP<xx> is the base release for CRM 2005. Similarly for all applications.

Unicode Literal to Unicode Character

I have a list of all the unicode characters (00C1, 00E1, 0103, etc.).
I am displaying their data as \u00C1 (in a java string: System.out.println("\\u00C1");)
How would I go about converting that literal string to the actual unicode character?
I want \\u00C1 to become the actual \u00C1 character.
All I'm really doing right now is letting the user enter in that data and then parsing their string for all unicode specifications and then turning them into the actual unicode characters.

char c = (char)Integer.valueOf("00C1", 16).intValue();

Special characters being read from the unicode file for greek language

Hi All,
I have a report which would upload a unicode file and then update the vendor master data accordingly.
The file contains greek characters too.
when the file is being read in the code, some special characters are being added up to the vendor number which is the first entry. The special characters are not included in the file , but are added up only to the first vendor number and not any other vendor numbers.
The logic that is being used is as follows :
TRY.
      IF unicode IS INITIAL.
        IF codepage IS INITIAL.

NW 7.3 vs Unicode - Question for SAP

Hi,
Is it true that we have to convert to Unicode before we start the upgrade for NW BW 7.3?
Please confirm.
Regards,
SC

If your system is MDMP yes you will have to, but if your system is non-unicode single code-page system - till date SAP just mentions that a upgrade to SCP non-unicode is possible until SAP NW 7.0 EhP1 but is not recommended. Check this sap note for further details:
73606 - Supported Languages and Code Pages
Nothing is yet out for SAP NW 7.3.

[JS] "InDiCode" : Unicode toolbox for InDesign (beta-test)

"InDiCode.js" allows users to:
- insert characters by Unicode id (or set of id's)
- identify "special characters"
- check available glyphs in the current font
It's supposed to work on ID CS, CS2 and CS3.
I hope you'll enjoy to beta-test it.
Overview and download here:
http://marcautret.free.fr/geek/indd/unicode/part3.php
Thanks for your feedbacks!

Thanks Peter,
As you see, the dropdown list is just a predefined collection of ranges which make easier the inspection of usual Unicode sets. The "javascripter" is highly requested to customize these sets for his own convenience. Alternately, it's possible to stipulate any range directly from the Unicode field, using comma separated values and/or dashes for Unicode segments.
You have a point : the glyphs/ranges available in the current font are certainly documented in the font file itself. The problem is that I don't know how to extract and parse this information! For the moment, the glyph-checking process is "empirical", thanks to the Dave Saunder's outline-trick:
http://jsid.blogspot.com/2006/03/what-and-wheres-that-glyph.html
[Precision: SpecialCharacters names and id's exposed from the script are also hard-coded, despite of your great method using the array SpecialCharacters.reflect.properties. The point is that I wanted InDiCode to be InDesign CS-compatible.]
I rely on users feedbacks and requests to improve and extend the process in the future. InDiCode has been primarly designed as a library and the script hosts a lot of "sleeping" features (exporting methods, UTF8 translation...).

Unicode issue for keyword SEARCH

Hi All...
In a report keyword SEARCH is used to find entry in internal table. basically this will find any value in internal table and will return sy-tabix as line number where the value exists.
Syntax:     SEARCH itab FOR seek.
where itab is internal table and seek is variable which can contain any value to be searched in itab.
When i set 'Unicode check active' attribute in program attribute, while activating program i am getting error as: <b>Table "KEN3" must have a character line type (data type C, N, D, T, or STRING).</b>
When i try to add additons In byte mode and in charecter mode, i am getting incompability errors.
Is there any solution/alternative for this error. I am trying to make my program unicode compliant.
TIA,
Agasti.

Hi
I think ur itab is having all the fields of the table
Because of MANDT only it is generating the error declare ur itab below.
I wrote the code like this and it is not generating any error
Kindly have a look.
data : begin of it_mara1,
       matnr like mara-matnr,
       meins like mara-meins,
       BLANZ like mara-BLANZ,
      end of it_mara1.
search it_mara1 for 'new'." in character mode.
Regards
Shiva
