Hi, I'm working with Baan V and we are uploading text files for invoice descriptions. The files upload correctly but when the pre-invoice is being printed some characters in the text are changed. For example "ñ" is being changed for another special char. The same for "á" "é"... etc. I think this has to do with baan encoding but I'm not sure. Can anyone advice please?

Regards!

How are you doing the upload of the text? The only thing I can think of is to make sure the import is using the same language.

I'm using text.write instruction, any ideas?

Hi,

I'm on Baan IVc4, so I cannot check your specific problem, but maybe I can give you a hint. I created a text file that contains for 0 to 255 the character itself and its ascii code (both dez and hex). Be careful with characters 139 to 160. Then I used the regular text editor to import that file - it looks fine.

Also, you might start ottstpisotable to check the character mapping.

Hi,

Here's a similar thread which you can refer.

Thank you all for the responses. The problem was that a 3rd party App was creating the text files with UTF8 Encoding. That's why the special chars were not recognized. We changed the file's output to ISO-8859-1 encoding and now it's working fine.
