chinese characters....

kowong — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 00:56:55 GMT

Hi all...

I am facing a problem in displaying chinese charactors....

the word it shows "Œö>" where it should be "Œö‹Ò"

I thought the ">" was cause by not enough space in the report to display...

but when i allocate the maximum space for it, same thing happen....

And, if i save the output report into html or txt, no problem for that...it displayed "Œö‹Ò"..

Did anyone encounter this before? Thanks in advance....

Go to start-> settings -> control Panel ->regional settings. In the table below you have to select the check box for Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Then it should support displaying the Chinese characters.

If this doesn't work, tell me the logon laguage you are using in SAP?

When you setup multiple languages in your system you can see the default langauge in the status bar below. If you left click, the system will diplay all the languages and if you right click you can set the default language. ALso in the regional settings select the chinese langage as the default. I hope if you make all these changes you can be able to see the chinese texts. It worked for me.

If you still face the problem please let me know what settings you made for the language in your system

kowong — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 03:14:54 GMT

yes, aha...i was thinking just like you....

i thougt there was not enough space....

and i tried to list only the UOM, it goes the same....

Each chinese character will take two bytes where as english character takes one byte. Becuase UOM is just 3 characters, try this way

select UOM from VBAP into v_UOM where <condition>

Here v_UOM should be atleast 6 characters. You have to change the code according to your requirement

The first step for translation is that u have to change the regional settings in your computer. If you have done that already, i think the problem may be that in the reoport the length of the field is smaller than the space required for the chinese characters.

Even if it is done i think you can try doing this, go to se63 translate the field once again and save it. I think this should solve your problem.
