Special characters are not displayed correctly with FSAL

Carlos Cortez MenjivarOct 30 2025 — edited Oct 30 2025

Hi all,

I have Oracle Forms 14c with Database 19c, both running on Oracle Linux.

Forms and DB has the following language variable: NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252

I'm having issues with special characters, like “ñ” o “´”

For example the following image shows special characters correctly been displayed inside the Form:

The Form is accessed through FSAL.

When I press the button the same text from the image is written to a TXT file using CLIENT_TEXT_IO.

As you can see from the following image, special characters are not been recognized.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

Best regards :)
