Tip to remove the ^M in Unix vi

^M is DOS line break charater which shows up in unix files when uploaded from a windows file system in ascii format.

To remove this, open your file in vi editor and type

:%s/(ctrl-v)(ctrl-m)//g

and press Enter key.

Important!! - press (Ctrl-v) (Ctrl-m) combination to enter ^M character, dont use “^” and M.

If anything goes wrong exit with q!.

URL special Character Conversion in Oracle Apps.

wfa_html.conv_special_url_chars API

Convert all of the ASCII special characters that are disallowed as a part of a URL. The encoding requires that we convert the special characters to HEX for any characters in a URL string that is built manually outside a form get/post. This API now also converts multibyte characters into their HEX equivalent.

FUNCTION conv_special_url_chars (p_url_token IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
c_unreserved constant varchar2(72) :=
'-_.!*''()~ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789';

l_tmp varchar2(32767) := '';
l_onechar varchar2(4);
l_byte_len integer;
i integer;
l_str varchar2(48);
