I am having problem with special characters coming in input XML.
How can we remove the bad characters which can come anywhere in the XML field through ESQL code in broker toolkit.
In the below XML, description field is having bad character — :

<BillingCity>Troutdale</BillingCity>
<BillingCountry>United States</BillingCountry>
<BillingPostalCode>97060</BillingPostalCode>
<BillingState>Oregon</BillingState>

<Description>As of January 2016—the property title should read Austell Columbia Gorge Equities, LLC-dba Columbia Gorge Outlets---so the title should be Austell Columbia Gorge Equities, LLC.</Description>

Your file seems to come with a wrong encoding or was corrupted while the conversion from one encoding to another. If you are a MS Windows user you can open it using Nodepad++ and try to convert its encodeing to UTF8 or any possible encoding to check the issue.

Unpacking COMP-3 digit using Java
First Problem you have done an EBCDIC --> ascii conversion on the file !!!!
The EBCDIC --> ascii conversion will also try and convert binary fields as well as text.
For example:
Comp-3 value hex hex after Ascii conversion
400 x'400c' x'200c' x'40' is the ebcdic space character
it gets converted to the ascii
space character x'20'
You need to do binary transfer, keeping the file as ebcdic:
Check the file on the Mainframe if it has a RECFM=FB you can do a transfer
If the file is RECFM=VB make sure you transfer the RDW (Record Descriptor word) (or copy the VB file to a FB file on the mainframe).
Other points:
You will have to update RecordEditor/JRecord
The font will need to be ebcdic (cp037 for US ebcdic; for other lookup)
The FileStructure/FileOrganisation needs to change (Fixed length / VB)
Finally
BILS-Count-EDG is either 9 characters long or starts in column 85 (and is 8 bytes long).
You should include Xml in as text not copy a picture in.
In the RecordEditor if you Right click >>> Edit Record; it will show the fields as Value, Raw Text and Hex. That is useful for seeing what is going on
You do not seem to accept many answers; it is not relevant whether the answer solves your problem; it is whether the answer is correct answer for the question.
Recently I've been working on implementation of Label generation for FedEx and UPS couriers using they external service. I have a problem with special characters printed on label. Within response I'm getting correct text but on Label all special chars are replaced by dummy signs. According UPS&FedEx docs they perfectly supports such characters on labels till they are passed as UTF-8 and encoding node in xml is present (pointing to UTF-8).
Did anyone faced similar problem? Maybe there is an official note from them that they'r not supporting such case that I'm not aware of.
UPS and FedEx APIs supports only Latin-1 chars. Dummy chars were assigned by auto utf-8 cast in one of internal methods (dicttoxml) that results in double UTF-8 encoding.
I switched from the old iText library to the iTextPdf library and noticed a problem. The new library sets the producer to a value that includes non-Unicode characters (windows TM symbol and copyright symbol). The problem is that validation programs that read this text choke on these characters.
Can I get iText to fix this (w/o paying for a license)? I am ok with iText getting credit. I just want the credits to be Unicode clean.
<</Producer(iText® 5.5.0 ©2000-2013 iText Group NV \(AGPL-version\))/ModDate(D:20150126155550-07'00')/CreationDate(D:20150126155550-07'00')>>
You are looking at the document information dictionary of a PDF, more exactly at the value of its Producer entry. It is specified as:
Producer text string (Optional) If the document was converted to PDF from another format, the name of the conforming product that converted it to PDF.
(Table 317 – Entries in the document information dictionary)
So the value must have the type text string. This in turn is specified as:
The text string type shall be used for character strings that shall be encoded in either PDFDocEncoding or the UTF-16BE Unicode character encoding scheme. PDFDocEncoding can encode all of the ISO Latin 1 character set and is documented in Annex D.
(section 7.9.2.2 Text String Type)
In Annex D you find:
CHAR CODE (OCTAL)
CHAR NAME STD MAC WIN PDF
...
© copyright — 251 251 251
...
® registered — 250 256 256
...
(D.2 Latin Character Set and Encodings)
Thus, these characters are completely valid here and validators which choke on these characters are broken.
So you had better report this bug to the developers of the validators in question.
Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 1200 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.
The error was: utf8 "\xD8" does not map to Unicode
i would be thankful to know what exactly should i do, my website is : http://dailysahara.com/
The issue, as stated by the validator, is that you have some invalid UTF-8 in your document. It appears to be in the box on the left of the site with the four tabs "Tags", "Comments", "Recents", and "Popular". It shows up to me as a black square like this: �. If you remove that, you should be able to validate your site.
