Joining a two strings with non English characters is giving wrong results

Hi,

When I am trying to join First Name and Last Name as Full Name, I am receiving a incorrect results. this may be due to non-English characters it contains. for example First Name = "Herv←" and Second Name = "Roy", then the Full Name is showing as "Herv頒oy". Is there any way to avoid this. please help.

I mean the original data source - so you may need to look at the QVD generator and the source that is used to populate the QVD file.

‌What is the expression are you using to join them?

FirstName&LastName? Or something else?

It looks like your data source is not UTF-8 format. Is it a text file? You may need to change the code page in the (txt, *) qualifier when you read the file.

Hi Jonathan,

The data source is a QVD file. How do I change in the code page, please give me an example.

Thanks,

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

You are correct, there was a issue with original data source (CSV) format, we have fixed it and the issue at the front end has fixed. Thanks for your support on this.
