2.5 Support for Unicode Columns
However, if your database character set is non-Unicode Forms tries to INSERT or UPDATE data into unicode columns in the database then those characters will be replaced by the '?' character.
For example, below situation
- Database setting is below
NLS_CHARACTERSET JA16SJIS
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
- Added NLS_LANG=Japanese_Japan.AL32UTF8 in default.env
※Detail is on Online Help(Forms Builder 12c - keyword: NCHAR )
- Set NCHAR for Data Type
- Implement below code for WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED
e.g.(In this case INS-1)
Result is working fine
