double click on the text and goto text editor and u'll see SAP inserts those symbols

Maintain the text using text editor and there would be no problem.

Because the &  is used to specify the content of a variable.

Hi,

because & is a special character, also < has the same problem.

you try to use this code:

LOOP AT t_text INTO wa_text.

     REPLACE '<(>&<)>' WITH '&' INTO wa_text-tdline.

   ENDLOOP.

let me know,

AI
