Unwanted / Special Characters in XML File Output

Hello Seniors,
I am downloading an XML File which has some code from include's. The XML file is well formatted and the output is fine when I downloaded programs. But this include is from user exits and the code has some commented lines in it also with a blank line in between. Now the problem is that I am getting a "VT" in the XML file which is an unwanted character where there is a blank line in the include "ZXRSAU01". Other than this include, all other includes are downloaded fine.
Here is the code from the include "ZXRSAU01":
     select single * from knvv where kunnr = l_s_icctrcst-kunnr
                                and  vkorg = l_s_icctrcst-vkorg
                                and  vtweg = l_s_icctrcst-vtweg
                                and  spart = l_s_icctrcst-spart.
Here is the output in the XML File:
     select single * from knvv where kunnr = l_s_icctrcst-kunnr
                                and  vkorg = l_s_icctrcst-vkorg VT
                                and  vtweg = l_s_icctrcst-vtweg
                                and  spart = l_s_icctrcst-spart.
Please give me a solutions for this. Each of your answers are very important and will addressed with the best deserved.
Thanks and regards,
Chaitanya.

Hello Madhan,
Firstly, Thank You for the reply. We cannot remove the space in that include because the system is not the original system. Please let me inform you that this is a 4.6C system. We have used CDATA to get the code as it is onto the XML file. I observed that, firstly, the character "#" has come into the internal table with the read report itself. In the debug I saw it to be "0B" in the binary format, but in the downloaded XML file output, it is displayed as "VT". Please let me know how to get rid of this special/unwanted character.
Thanks and regards,
Chaitanya.

  • Special characters in XML barcode content

    Hello,
    I made a barcoded form with a custom script that creates a custom XML as barcode content.
    The decoding happens well when the user write plain text in the text fields, but whenever it inputs some special characters (for XML syntax), like ",<,>,=,etc... the content of barcode it is decoded as:
    <barcode>
    <!CDATA[... true content ...]>
    </barcode>
    how can I handle this situation?
    I have to handle what the user writes or I have to change the decode activity?
    Thank you very much for your support!
    Fabio

    Steve,
    I have already encoded decode operation in UTF-8. In form level, because it is an acrobat form, no option to choose the encoding as in LC Designer. In further tests, if I change the extractToXML output to XDP instead of XFDF, then I will receive data rather than &# sequence. It is strange. Don't understand why XDP and XFDF would give out different encoding.

  • Special characters in xml

    Hello!
    I am trying to generate XML from database by using fnd_file package. Trouble is that application NLS_LANG is not set to UTF8 and it should stay so due to the fact that a lot of custom reports written using Oracle Reports may not display special characters correctly. So i have problem with characters like 'ö','ļ'.... Is there a way to set encoding for only XML output? Also in my last efforts the output XML for some reason is concatenating a strange square shaped character into the end of file. Has anybody seen similar problem and maybe solved it?
    Thanks

    How about giving us some example XML and what you expect as output as there can be easier ways of extracting data from XML than using the dbms_xmldom package.
    The dbms_xmldom package is one way, but it's not necessarily the best, as I would tend to use that for processing XML based structure that I don't actually know (I have used it myself, for example, for parsing XML Schemas (XSD) to auto-generate code for producing XML to match that schema), but for extracting date from a known XML structure, I would probably use SQL's XMLTABLE functionality.
    And when you post code/data, please use the {noformat}{noformat} tags as detailed in the FAQ: {message:id=9360002}                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Regd: Handling of special characters in XML

    Hi ALL,
    i am using java mapping to conevrt IDOC XML to Flat file using SAX parse and then reading the whole content into a single Filed,the output of the java mapping is the input for graphical mapping .
    My problem is there may be some special characters  in the input IDOC. when ever these special characters come my java mapping is not able to Parse the IDOC.
    Please let me know how can handle this special characters.
    Thanks,
    hemanth.

    Hi ,
            Java has some characters reserved which is normally used to declare the Entity Name. To handle such kind of situations, you can replace these characters with these special characters, which get substituted automatically while parsing the XML file.
    Refer:
    http://www.javacommerce.com/displaypage.jsp?name=saxparser3.sql&id=18232
    I hope it helps.

    This issue is observed only while running the code in server, not from Jdev.
    When we append the additional tags without new line character, "\n", there are no extra characters being added. Also, in other case also. where we used "Marshaller" to prepare the XML, we have seen this issue.
    After we set the below property to false, we got rid of the extra characters.
                            jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, false);
    Apparently the insertion of new line when the code runs on server(Weblogic 10.3.6.0) is creating the issue.
    Please let me know if anyone has come across a similar scenario.
    Thanks,

    I am building this XML in a servlet so ,right, DOM does process XML (even though a valid HTML file can be loaded into a DOM object) but if you build XML using DOM then write the XML out using PrintWriter and Transformer objects this will cause the XML to print out in your browser. If you view source on this XML you will see that the DOM object has translated all special characters to there &xxxx; equivalent. For a example: when the string (I know "cool" java) gets loaded into a attribute using the DOM object then wrote back out it looks like (I know &xxx;cool&xxx; java) if you view the source in your browser. This is what it should do, but the DOM object is not change the � to the "&xxxxx;". This servlet is acting as a gateway between a Java API and a windows asp. The asp will call the servlet expecting to get XML back and load it directly into a DOM object. When the windows DOM object gets the xml that I am returning in this servlet is throws a exception "invalid character" because the � was not translated to &xxxx; like the other characters were. According to the book HTML 4 in 24 hours (and other references) the eacute; or #233; are how you say "�" in HTML or XML. How do you say it?

  • Special characters in XML (UTF8, escapes etc)

    This may seem like a simple problem, but I'm kind of a slow learner, so any help would be appreciated.
    I'm generating XML output via ordinary PL/SQL procedures i.e. not using the Oracle XSQL stuff. The data is built up into a XML document, which will be parsed within the server, then passed out to a client, probably as a CLOB.
    The data may contain "special" characters such as "<&>" and so on. Is there an existing function to translate these into an "XML-safe" form within the text, or do I need to trap and translate them individually?
    Also, the database may contain foreign characters e.g. Thai or Chinese. Will this be handled transparently by my XML-extraction stuff - which just selects the data from the tables and writes it to a CLOB inside XML tags - or do I have to do something to make sure the XML comes out in a safe UTF format?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    use & instead of &

  • Special characters in XML document

    I have a Flash file saved as version 8 with the following script calling an xml file:
    //init TextArea component
    myText.html = true;
    myText.wordWrap = false;
    myText.multiline = false;
    myText.label.condenseWhite=true;
    //load in XML
    xml = new XML();
    xml.ignoreWhite = true;
    xml.onLoad = function(success){
        if(success){
            myText.text = xml;
    xml.load("titletext.xml");
    My xml file contains the following:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
    <![CDATA[Smith's dog & cat are "crazy"]]>
    When posted online my flash file displays the encoding tag in the xml file.
    AND the apostrophe, ampersand and quote marks display as html code instead of the actual character.
    I can take the encoding tag out of the xml file but my characters still don't display correctly.
    My dynamic text field in flash (myText) does have special characters embedded, plus I have them entered manually in the field for 'include these characters'.
    Does anyone have suggestions for me?
    You can view this test file at http://wilddezign.com/preshomes_name2.html
    TIA

    Perhaps you need a slightly different approach to loading the XML. Instead of loading the entire XML file, what if you loaded only the child you were looking for? This is what I usually do:
    var xml:XML = new XML();
    xml.ignoreWhite = true;
    xml.load("some.xml");
    xml.onLoad = parse;
    function parse(success){
    if (success){
      root = xml.firstChild;
      _global.numberItems = root.attributes.items;
      itemNode = root.firstChild;
      var i:Number = 0;
      while(itemNode != null){
         myText.text = itemNode.attributes.description;
         itemNode = itemNode.nextSibling;
         i++;
      else {
      trace("XML Bad!!");
    And your XML would be structured like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <sample>
    <item description="This is the text that I want to appear on this MC!" />
    </sample>

  • Can't get UTF-8 characters from XML file displayed correctly (Cocoa Touch)

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to read an XML file with Japanese and Korean characters (encoded UTF-8) into a String like
    NSString *s = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://.../data1.xml"] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&e];
    However, the output just gives me some wrong characters. I also tried use NSData, but the result was the same.
    The same when I parse the XML file with
    NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:URL];
    The parser function just gives back gibberish.
    When I write the data into a table cell (cell.text = ...), only the first character is displayed followed by "...".
    Where can I start looking to get this right? I'm not so experienced in Cocoa yet, so I feel that I'm missing something simple here...
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    I think so (haven't checked), but it is a really simple test xml which is not really error prone).
    But the problem is a different one, because I also just tried to read a txt file with some Japanese characters into an NSString using initWithContentsOfURL.
    When I print the string in the console, I only get messed up characters (the latin characters next to the Japanese are displayed fine).
    It is a general problem of reading out an UTF-8 file from an url.
    Spent the whole last night to google something helpful but couldn't find anything. Now I'm tired at work

  • Special characters in XML built using the DOM object

    I am using the DOM object to build xml but I am having problems with special characters. I have a Element object that I create attributes in. Most special characters like the &, ", or ' are translated for me (amp; quot;, acute; put a & in front of those, if I do it here the browser will translate them into the logical character) but I am having a problem with the � character. The DOM object does not translate this. If I do it my self to(eacute; same here add a & in front) before adding the string to the attribute then the DOM object translates it to (amp;eacute; add a & in front of the amp; not in front of the eacute;). As you can see the DOM object translates the & instead of recognizing that it is a HTML character. Can anyone give me a hand?

  • Handling special characters in XML

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle 10g 'XMLType' datatype to store XML files. Before storing I parse the XML document using Java Xerces Parser. If it parses successfuly, then I perform some business rule execution based on XML file which was parsed. So till this stage there is no problems. But when XML file contains some special characters like copy-paste of some description from MS-Word document into XML tags, then Xerces parser will parse such characters with out any exceptions, but while inserting XML document, Oracle database just throws exception saying unable to handle special characters.. So how to avoid such exceptions or silent such exceptions with any specific settings respect to XMLType datatype in 10g DB.
    Please advice!

    In XI 2.0, we've noticed a number of issues processing special characters, primarily caused by the version of JCO that we're running.  It sounds like SAP has spent some time in the past few months focusing on these errors, so make sure you're on the most recent patchlevels of all your middleware components, including any of the middleware libraries that BC uses. In XI, we had to update the 3 files that make up the RFC library and JCO library.  SDM couldn't update the libraries for us -- we had to manually move the files to the right place.
    Escaped XML characters like "&amp;" "&#34;" "&quot;" were fixed as of JCO 2.0.10 (the current patchlevel on AIX/UNIX), the special character "&apos;" is fixed in the next release, JCO 2.0.11, due out in a few weeks (hotfixes are available).  I don't know the equivalent versions on other platforms.  By default, XI 2.0 appears to have shipped with JCO 2.0.5.  I would expect many XI 3.0 users to also be affected.
    This may or may not apply to BC, because I don't know what BC uses to talk to SAP under the covers.

  • LPX-00217 invalid character error - Using reference characters in XML file

    Hi, I hope you will help me to understand and to fix the error I get during insert of an XML file into a table with XML Type field.
    I used Oracle documentation for this:
    1. Create table
    CREATE TABLE XMLDOC
    ( XMLCOLUMN xmltype);
    2. Create external directory
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY FILESDIR AS 'E:\ora_xml_test\';
    3. Create function
    CREATE OR REPLACE function DSS.getClobDocument(
    filename in varchar2,
    charset in varchar2 default NULL)
    return CLOB deterministic
    is
    file bfile := bfilename('FILESDIR',filename);
    charContent CLOB := ' ';
    targetFile bfile;
    lang_ctx number := DBMS_LOB.default_lang_ctx;
    charset_id number := 0;
    src_offset number := 1 ;
    dst_offset number := 1 ;
    warning number;
    begin
    if charset is not null then
    charset_id := NLS_CHARSET_ID(charset);
    end if;
    targetFile := file;
    DBMS_LOB.fileopen(targetFile, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
    DBMS_LOB.LOADCLOBFROMFILE(charContent, targetFile,
    DBMS_LOB.getLength(targetFile), src_offset, dst_offset,
    charset_id, lang_ctx,warning);
    DBMS_LOB.fileclose(targetFile);
    return charContent;
    end;
    And now appears the problem when I use different character references - one of them are parsed by the XML parser and another -are not:
    test1.xml - Contains a charachter from Latin language -ă (&#x103)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW
    <IDNO>1</IDNO>
    <NAME>aaa (&#x103)</NAME>
    </ROW>
    </ROWSET>
    --a semicolumn must be added after 103
    SQL> insert into XMLDOC values(xmltype(getClobDocument('test1.xml','UTF8')));
    1 row created.
    test2.xml - Contains a charachter from Cyrillic language -ш (&#x404)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW>
    <IDNO>1</IDNO>
    <NAME>aaa (&#x404)</NAME>
    </ROW>
    </ROWSET>
    --a semicolumn must be added after 404
    SQL> insert into XMLDOC values(xmltype(getClobDocument('test2.xml','UTF8')));
    insert into XMLDOC values(xmltype(getClobDocument('test2.xml','UTF8')))
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LPX-00217: invalid character 1028 (\u0404)
    Error at line 5
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    I am not familiar to Unicode and encoding maybe I ' missing something.
    Please help!!!

    Which database version are you using and what is the characterset used during its creation...?
    There is a lot on this forum which has been already answered / addressed but the database must support it, in other words the characterset must support it. Among others, see Re: XML-Document with special characters for instance.
    Conversion like you are doing (&#x103) is not needed.
