Hi folks

Qlikview Supports Double Byte !, How?  and White papers related to that greatly appreciated

I believe that QlikView will suport Double Byte "out of the box". In other words, you do not have to do anything to support double byte character sets. The only area that you have to consider is when you load data. You need to ensure that the correct CodePage is used.

Based on your question I assume you are experiencing some sort of issue with characters in 16bit length. Could you provide some more details on what problem you experience?

Thanks for response, will you please give some examples , or documents  related to tit?

Hi Toni ,

Right now am not facing any problem , Thing is i want to know how qlikview handles the double byte ,provide some documents related to it ..

There are some demo apps that have Chinese as presentation language. Chinese characters are stored as 16 bit characters. If you download the example below you can for example see that the Chinese labels are loaded from a XLSX file and nothing special is required for that to be successful. If you load from a text file instead the codepage for the load statement must match the file content.

Not sure that answers your concerns or questions. My recommendation would otherwise be to load a source you have in mind and see that it works, or provide a sample if you can't work out how to load the data.

Thanks Toni for your valuable replies...

Just to be crystal clear: QlikView supports Unicode and UTF8 out-of-the-box. (Just make sure that your ODBC/OLEDB connection supports Unicode, then choose a font that supports Unicode, and it willwork.)

However, other, older double-byte character sets are not supported.
