    I have a New Hire process flow that uses PA31 as one of the Lawson activity Nodes.  The data being processed comes from a flat file and occasionally contains French characters.  When I review the log from the work unit I can follow the flow and see where the French character is displaying correctly right up to the point where PA31 stores the data.  Here is the AGs call:

    https://lawsonsitapp10.gfs.com with string _PDL=S100&_TKN=PA31.1&_EVT=ADD&_RTN=DATA&_LFN=ALL&_TDS=IGNORE&FC=A&APL-COMPANY=1&APL-LAST-NAME=CALDERÓN%20ACEVEDO&APL-FIRST-NAME=JONATHAN&APL-NICK-NAME=&APL-MIDDLE-NAME=&APL-EMP-STATUS=AF&&APL-EEO-CLASS=99&APL-SEX=M&APL-HANDICAP-ID=N&APL-VETERAN=99&_DELIM=%09&_OUT=XML&_EOT=TRUE as user lawson

     

    Here is the results of the call:

    PA31_1_Add_USER_ID = 
    PA31_1_Add_PT_PRA_COMPANY = 
    PA31_1_Add_PT_PRA_EMP_APP = 1
    PA31_1_Add_PT_PRA_APPLICANT = 
    PA31_1_Add_PAC_EMP_APP = 1
    PA31_1_Add_PAC_CMT_TYPE = GE
    PA31_1_Add_PT_XMIT_NBR1 = 0
    PA31_1_Add_PT_XMIT_NBR2 = 0
    PA31_1_Add_APL_COMPANY = 1
    PA31_1_Add_PRS_NAME = GORDON FOOD SERVICE, INC.
    PA31_1_Add_APL_APPLICANT = 8712
    PA31_1_Add_APL_FULL_NAME_CND = CALDER?N ACEVEDO, JONATHAN
    PA31_1_Add_MAIN_TAB = 2
    PA31_1_Add_APPLICANT_NBR = 8712
    PA31_1_Add_APL_LAST_NAME_PRE = 
    PA31_1_Add_APL_LAST_NAME = CALDER?N ACEVEDO
    PA31_1_Add_APL_NAME_SUFFIX = 
    PA31_1_Add_SUFFIX_DESC = 
    PA31_1_Add_APL_FIRST_NAME = JONATHAN
    PA31_1_Add_APL_NICK_NAME = JONATHAN

     

    Any ideas on how or where to change the setup to allow for the French character set?

      Todd,
      I don’t think S3 allows for multibyte character entry nor extended-ASCII (MSB-high), as it’s not UNICODE nor extended-ASCII compliant. Anyone else that knows otherwise, please chime in.
