Encoding charset


The encoding charset is a method that allows the conversion of a character in a natural language into a symbol of a different representation system as a number in an electronic system. The conversion is performed after applying a series of codification rules. This concept is very important since its application allows us to show symbols belonging to different languages into our reports.

To modify the encoding charset of our report, we must go to Report tree structure (the Structure tab), search the tree for the Master Report node, select it, and put into Style.encoding the charset we wish to use, for example:

  • Style.encoding = LATIN1

Note

If you are having encoding problems and the report is correctly configured, check that Java and data base are correctly configured.
