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.

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!!
