ABAP # Character Problem

acamli — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 07:22:19 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am making a pr list report that will be mailed every day as excel. We have a RFC functions.

If someone uses the enter key in the description section while opening pr on the website, it appears as # character on the abap screen. When I try to change it with the TRANSLATE command, I cannot succeed. How can I fix this character?

Thanks.

I want to add more details;

If someone write normally # character, my code change this.

The # character is a placeholder for anything that cannot be displayed: you need to look at the hex representation to find out what it is exactly

Do you know any function for string to hex ?

It's not #, it's the newline character in ABAP (as it can't be displayed by debugger, SAP replaces it with #).

replace all occurrences of |\n| in acklm_str with |?|.

\n is Unicode character U+000A (newline)

acamli you don't need it, it's right in the debugger to the right of the red box.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF+1 IN acklm_str WITH space.

It was solved. Thanks.

which is the same as (valid as of ABAP 7.02):

replace all occurrences of |\n| in acklm_str with | |.
