Dear All,
The client has created on LSMW for f-02. He is using direct input method. It works fine till Convert Data step. But while converting the data it replaces some of the blank fields with /.
And then session is not processed due to the special character. Kindly suggest the solution.

Do you specify / as "no data" in the header record of your file?

Go to the conversion step and check how the mentioned fields are mapped. Is there specific abap code that put a '/' if these fields are blank?

Dear Kris..
Yes there is code...and I changed it to space...but it is regenerated every time..so there is aabsolutley no use of it...
/ still comes

Conversions regenerated every time? Don't think that should be possible. Just make sure to save and activate before leaving that step.

Dear Kris...
Yes that is happening....but hey I have found one solution altough not entirely...its not working....
yes i have activated it....
Can you tell me where can i find VARIANT in field mapping and conversion rules?

There was problem from the client side.
He had not given the special G/L indicator in the flat file . The moment this was included in the flat file as one of its columns,the problem was resolved.
So i would suggest everyone that if you get this special character error in LSMW , check u r flat file again and AGAIN!!
