Long Text Editor displaying & incorrectly.

[aditya_niyogi]

Hi Experts,

Currently I am facing an issue that the & sign is not being displayed correctly in the Long text editor. It is shown as '<(>&<)>' in some places and '&' in others. I understand that the <(> symbol is used as protection for special symbols like &, however this is occuring in some places and not in others. Is there any package which fixes this problem??

Please help.

Thanks,

Aditya.

This happens when you enter your fields &W_MATNR& in the "Graphical PC Editor".

If need to enter the variable, than you shold go to the LINE editor and enter the &W_MATNR& variable.

It will not bring the '<(>&<)>'.

Hi Naimesh,

My problem is not with the display of variables in the editor. Consider the case wherein transactional data is displayed in Long text. For example if you go to IW22 and decide to change the text for the notification description. In case you give a & sign in the long text - it will be converted to - '<(>&<)>' , when I log on to see the changes I made the next time. However I want the editor to stop this conversion. Please reply.

Thanks ,

Aditya.

It seems that this problem cannot be fixed as it is a technical constraint.
