Documentation
This flag is required only in connection with bi-directional (BIDI) scripts such as Hebrew or Arabic, and only in special cases. It should not be set for normal situations.
The unicode character set contains special formatting characters with which the visual sequence can be influenced for displaying bi-directional scripts like Hebrew and Arabic. The characters themselves are not visible.
The input of invisible BIDI formatting characters in fields where data is entered can be deactivated system-wide. The characters are then filtered out of the data stream when data is exchanged between the GUI and application server. This system setting can be made with report I18N_SET_DATAELEMENT_FLAGS.
If the flag "No BIDI Filtering" is set for a data element, the BIDI formatting characters can always be entered in a ready-for-input field that links to this data element, even if filtering is activated system-wide.
