Hi,

How do I encode french characters in a string?
ex: é,è, or à

Thanks.

When you are keying them in you could look up the ASCII decimal equiv.
Ex: è you would enter Alt+0232 from the keyboard.

Hi,

The problem is when I run the report the French characters are garbled up...

Thanks for your help.

Maybe the French character set isn't set in your web browser if that is where it is coming out.

Several things,

First you must ensure that NLS is properly configured for the WebFocus
server and client.

Second in Dev studio make sure that you have Store as ANSI selected
in the options panel.

Third if using Tomcat on a UNIX platform make sure that
Tomcat is running under the correct code page.
On some unix systems i.e. SUN, the default code page is UTF-8
and not en_US.ISO8859-1 as required by WebFocus.
To over come this, should it be the problem add

LANG = en_US.ISO8859-1
export LANG

to the Tomcat start up script.
