Pinned topic Importent - Issue with special characters while fetching from DB

‏2013-05-21T13:30:56Z | wtx

Hi All,

Using DBLOOKUP i am fetching a CLOB data from database. This CLOB data contains some special characters which, after fetching from DB gettign converted to some other characters. The field where i am fetching is set as data language UTF-8 but when i am trying with certain special characters its coming along with some other invalid characters.

For eg:- If i am the clob data containing special charater  © this is gettng converted to Ã'©.

similarly these charaters ýöÅôÉ€óò&  are gettign converted to Ã½Ã¶Ã…ôÉâ'¬Ã³Ã²

Any help appreciated..

regards,

Sidhu

    Try changing the data language to UTF-16 or LATIN-1 in the field where you are fetching the CLOB data.

    Thanks, Phil

    You can use iso-8859-1 it supports all the special characters

     

    Thanks,

    Turn on the input card backup.  This will give you a 'raw' version of the input data from the adapter before any changes are applied by the input Typetree.  If this data is correct, then it is your Typetree at fault.

     

    If the input backup data is wrong, then you need to look at adjusting your NLS_LANG variable to match that used by the DB server.
