    Field 1352 or “DSPLY_NMLL” use RMTES (Reuters Multilingual Text
    Encoding Standard) string and it can be displayed by converting to UTF-8.

    For SFC C++ API, you can use RTRUTF8String class which provide a
    convenient and efficient way for applications to represent RMTES characters in
    UTF-8 format.

    Here is an example.

    void RecordSnapshotClient::processSnapshotSync(RTRSnapshotRecord& record)
    {
      // Access each field from the record using an iterator 
      RTRSnapshotRecordIterator iterator = record.iterator();
      for (iterator.start(); !iterator.off(); iterator.forth())
      {
        // Print the name and value of each field
        RTRSnapshotField& field = iterator.field();
        // If field id = 1352 then use RTRUTF8String
        if (field.fid() == 1352)
        {
          RTRUTF8String utf8(field.to_c(), field.count(), RTRUTF8String::RMTES);
          if (!utf8.error())
          {
            printf("%s  %s\n", (const char *)field.name(), utf8.to_c());
          }
        }
        else
        {
          printf("%s  %s\n", (const char *)field.name(), (const char *)field.string());
        }
      }

    For SFC Java API, you have to enable RMTES conversion by setting the
    setRMTESConversion(boolean conversion) of RTRecord or RTField to true.

    For EMA C++ API, you can use RmtesBuffer class.

    const FieldEntry& fe = fieldList.getEntry();
    rmtesBuffer.apply( fe.getRmtes() );
    cout << rmtesBuffer.toString() << endl;

    It could be RMTES_STRING. For example, for 2018.HK, the DSPLY_NMLL in RMTES_STRING will look like:

    After converting to UTF8, it will display:

    Typically, there is an example code in the API developer guide which shows how to convert RMTES to UTF8 or UCS2. The following code is for RFA C++.

    RMTESConverter converter; 
    PartialUpdateReadIterator partialReadIt; 

    if ( dataBuffer.isPartialUpdates() ) 
    { 
     partialReadIt.start( dataBuffer.getBuffer() ); 

      while ( !partialReadIt.off() ) 
     { 
      fieldUpdatedBuf = partialReadIt.value(); 
      offset = partialReadIt.offset(); 
      converter.setBuffer( fieldUpdatedBuf, offset ); 
      partialReadIt.forth(); 
     } 
     // For update msg display 
     vector = converter.getAsShortString() 
    } 
    else 
    { 
     converter.setBuffer( dataBuffer.getBuffer() ); 
     // For refresh msg display 
     vector = converter.getAsShortString(); 
    }

    In RFA C++, RMTESConverter is an interface to be used to convert RMTES encoded string into a string of Unicode format.

    RMTESConverter::getAsCharString() returns the converted string in UTF8 format and RMTESConverter::getAsShortString() returns the converted string in UCS2 format.
