hash symbol

[Former Member]

Hi ,

In ECC ,

If we have '#' Symbol in Material Description , after finishing the program when we check in AL11.

Material Description like: Presure Roller , Glass Washer# 3F001

DAT file like : it splits as two records instead of one without hash symbol

0009935798|00001|||0010| Presure Roller , Glass Washer

3F001|0001|| 0.000| 1.000|7FSEMI S2-0703AEI|

Could you please let me know what might be the reason to split the line when there is "#' symbol in description.

And also let me know without replacing the '#' can we get the ' #' in DAT file

Please.help me

Regards ,

Kiran.

Hello Kiran,

Only feasible reason i suppose is that the system is trying to interpret '#' as a 'Line Feed' character (<CR/LF>) which is why it is splitting the record into a new line :-((

Hi

Not sure if yours is the same case but I believe this thread should help you out.

"some times #(hash) is shown bcoz...some Binary characters which cannot be read by SAP Unicoded system will be shown as #(hash). check the attributes of the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES and find and replace with characters in there...mainly CR_LF (Carriage Return and Line Feed" Character Pair)

data: lv_hash type c value CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.

replace all occurances of lv_hash with '0' in ur_sting."
