Special Characters in LN FP5

[iamdnb]

Hi,

I have come accross an issue where special characters such as Ñ, Ø etc are not supported primarily in the primary keys or index fields. This issue can be resolved as follows:

1 Go to $BSE\lib\DEFAULTS\all
2. Check if following line is there in file. If not add/modify
high_ascii_tolerance:1

Hope it will help others and save lot of time in identifying the cause.

Cheers !!

High Ascii Tolerance
Important!
The following only applies to ERP LN environments that do not run in Unicode mode.
You must set the high_ascii_tolerance resource to 0 in the following situations:
If your ERP LN environment is a production environment and you plan to convert the environment to Unicode. If your ERP LN environment is a development environment and you plan to deliver software components or translations. If high_ascii_tolerance is
not set to 0, problems will occur when the delivered components are imported in Unicode environments.
To set high_ascii_tolerance to 0, add the following line in
the $BSE/lib/defaults/all file:high_ascii_tolerance:0
