US7ASCII Characterset - Need to support Special Characters & Symbols

Dear All,
My database characterset is 'US7ASCII'
Some of Special Characters / Symbols are not supported by 'US7ASCII'. But those symbols need to be supported by 'US7ASCII'.
Do we have any option to make 'US7ASCII' Characterset to support such Symbols.
Details given below.
Database - Oracle 10g
NLS_CHARACTERSET - US7ASCII
Column - Description Varchar2(50)
Symbols - ↓ β α ↑ З Њ Є € £ ± ¥ © ® ∞ etc......( Greek and Captic, European etc......Symbols stored as �� )
My requirement is the above symbols need to be properly stored in the database as it is.
Kindly help / Guide me on this.

Hi,
Database - Oracle 10g
NLS_CHARACTERSET - US7ASCII
Column - Description Varchar2(50)
Symbols - ↓ β α ↑ З Њ Є € £ ± ¥ © ® ∞ etc......( Greek and Captic, European etc......Symbols stored as �� ) " Euro symbol is neither in US7ASCII nor WE8ISO8859P1 character set.
You have to use WE8ISO8859P15, WE8MSWIN1252, UTF8..."

Special characters / symbols like u2018u2206u2019 are displayed as u2018#u2019 in the print pr

While displaying print preview / taking print output using QGA3 Transaction with developed Z SAPScript form specified as one of the parameters(say for example ZARMEXP), the special characters / symbols like u2018∆u2019 are displayed as u2018#u2019 in the print preview / print output . Of course similar problem had existed for Lambda Symbol u2018u03BBu2019., but it was resolved by using the font type Helve_I7. But for the symbol u2018∆u2019 we checked with almost all the fonts that were available in the system, but of not much use. Hence could you kindly provide us solution(s) that would resolve this issue.

Hi,
I hope this depends on the printer settings.
Check whether your printer could support these characters or not!
Thanks and Best Regards,

Need to add special characters in sap scripts

Hi All,
I need to add special characters in sap script.
I have used them as it is my script,but in the print preview i am able to see '#' instead of those special characters.Can anybody please tell me the way in which we can add special characters in the scripts.
eg. 'Shlesha' i.e. name in inverted colons.
Thanks

Hi
If # is coming means, that is the problem with the printer. I think u might have used your local printer to see the print preview.
Don't use LOCL or LP01. Our local printer won't recognize those characters.
Just change the printer name to client printer name. It will work.

Javamail API doesn't support special characters in attachment file name

Hi,
We are using Java Mail API to retrieve the attachment's file name, but it sometimes returns the file name as junk character (if the attachment contains special characters) and it is not able to return original file name for some attachments:
Our code sample :
void getFileName(Part part) {
String fname=null;
fname = part.getFileName();
Actually the problem is with the attachment file name which contains special character. For example below is the attachment file name (please find the sample attached file which is causing this issue):
Sample – 1234abc.doc
From above you could see the file name contains a special character (Sample – 1234abc.doc), i.e. The character ‘–’ is not a regular hyphen character, it’s a special character. Hence the Java mail API returns the name as below:
Sample ? 1234abc.doc
So the special character is being replaced with ‘?’ symbol. But if I store this file in local folder and try reading the file name using Java IO packages, it returns the file name without adding ‘?’ symbol.
Is there any way to handle such kind of special characters in Mail API?
Regards,
Vinodh

We dealt with this issue in a private email conversation.
JavaMail is returning the correct data for the filename. The problem is in the way the filename is being displayed.

Need to remove special characters

Hello All
Some input is comming from source field, if any special characters comming from source field, I need remove special characters and send data source to target field. please suggest me how will i do .
Thanks&Regards,

Hi Venkat,
check this thread.
Handling Special Characters
check the document :
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42
Depends upon encoding methods handling will differ,
you can use ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2 instead of UTF-8 for some special characters.

Reading data from a serialized file(Data is in special characters &symbols)

Please help me.... I struck up at reading data in a serialized file. It is a text file with some special characters. My question is - Is it a real serialized file or some bad file? If it a real good one please tell me which method i have to use to read? Actually i have to read records with time stamps from this file and have to do some calculations on them.
FILE CONTENTS :
¬í sr java.util.ArrayListxÒ^TM^Ça I sizexp w sr *com.progress.recruitment.test.email.Record¨&fnof;ù~&lsaquo;6 I aI bI cI dI idI timexp sq ~ ¥¤sq ~
Ûsq ~ gÒsq ~ 5ásq ~ E.x

It looks like it might contain serialized Java objects, since it contains Java class names. Have you tried reading it as such to see what happens?
Or are you asking how to do that? In which case why not just start with the code in the Java serialization tutorial and go from there?
Or did you not know there was such a tutorial? Google keywords: "java serialization tutorial".

Reading special characters from a flat file and inserting into DB

I'm reading data with special characters like . etc from a flat file , assigning the data to variable in my anonymous block and inserting into my DB. But the show up as inverted ? s. Any clues about how to do this?
If i try to do the insert directly it works. It seems like the error occurs when reading this data into a variable
thanks for the help
Lalit Bhatia

lalit, this is probably an character set problem, the default on Database creation tends to be 7bit Ascii which does not support special characters, it's been a while since I set up a db in this way, but you need to change settings in oracle.ini. The db will need to be restarted for this. Also, to check current settings try:
select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
You want an 8bit, unicode or multibyte character set. Sorry I cannot remember moer off the top of my head, try searching on NLS or character set

Problem with special characters loaded from XML

I have an XML whose elements contain special characters (for example: ñ, Ñ, á, Á, etc..), When I load the XML and make a Trace () the loaded element, I see that it is loaded correctly, but then in the text field is not special characters. For example in the XML I have the text Baños, but in the text field shown Baos.
It is clear that in the text field are incorporated upper case, lower case, numerals, punctuation symbols and Basic Latin.
I also tested with the judgment System.useCodePage = true in the code but does not work.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Garchabig.
PD: Sorry for poor English, I'm Latino. -

Hi, before reading your answer I tried embedding all characters and surprise surprise, it worked!
So then I was testing with embedded characters to see what was the need to display special characters (like "ñ", "í", etc..) and discovered that it has to be built or yes is Latin I (194/388 glyphs).
Thank you very much also for the answer.

Annoying issue with "special characters"

I need to produce these special characters:
¤
and
ø
Now ofcourse I can copy and paste to get them, but after writing them to a file, they don't produce the same character, if that doesn't make sense I'll try to clear it up. I run a windows game through wine, and in the configuration file I need to use special characters in my name, they look fine in the editor, after I write the file, then go in game, the characters are completely different. Which is quite annoying. Is there anyway I can get these to truely be the character I want on linux?
edit:
more info, I wrote the file with vim, I then opened it with nano to see exactly what I saw in game. Is this an output problem of vim?

Thanks a lot for your response Vasavya. Let me describe my problem clearly. We are having planning application and we use ODI to refresh Master data/Meta data in planning application. One attribute dimension member contains special character and its getting rejected everytime since planning will not accept special characters in member names/Alias names. Is anything that we can do from planning side to avoid the rejection?. Thanks in advance.Is the application been created in unicode mode? Are you able to enter characters directly into planning? have you read the restrictions sections - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/frameset.htm?apb.html
