Not recognizing # while reading the file from application server

Former Member — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:36:45 GMT

I am reading a file from application server. While reading into internal table with read statement the last field in each record is filling with hash symbol in the last digit. If I write any if condition with HASH symbol its not going inside the if condition, means its not recognizing as hash may be its internally treating as some other. I need to remove the hash from that field. How I can do that.

Thanks,

kishore

Hi.. for this you have couple of options

1. when the file is writen in App server write it in ASC format, and when you are downloading it use ASC format as well... mostly this will solve ur problem.

2. when you are splitting the data into internal table... at the last field find the string length of the file and using offset remove the last character and update ur internal table

I faced exact situation. Yes, internally its treated as some other special character. What i did was, becuase hash symbol was always coming at the end...i created a dummy field in my internal table so that it will not interfere with my actual data. When i see the data in my internal table, the hash always falls in the last field (dummy) which i will ignore. I could not get solution to remove this hash so i adopted this approach and it worked!!

Hope it helps,
