Hi,

I had read XML file into an internal table. XML source has tag like

</ITM_NUMBER

>

The closing tag is in below line below line because prior to this closing tag >

a special character is visible []> for me .

if i copy that symbol [] into sap it is nothing but Enter.

But in debugging if i see the contents of itab.

instead of [] the itab consists of #.

if i delete [] in source XML file the program is working.

i want to delete in SAP which is # symbol from internal table.

Totally i want to delete this special character from internal table.

loop at itab into wa_itab.
 search wa_itab-text for '#'.
   if sy-subrc eq 0.
         replace all occurrences of '#' in wa_itab-text with space.
         condense wa_itab-text.
         modify itab from wa_itab
   endif.
endloop.

Hi,

your valuble suggestions are very helpful for me.

here in this context 'replace all occurrences' does this work in SAP 4.6 c

since i am getting error.

Yes you are right , it will not work in SAP 4.6c

I guess u have only one # symbol per line , if so

use

REPLACE '#' with SPACE INTO ITAB-TEXT 

and let me know if it works

Hai Ratna

Check the following Code

tables : mara.

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

matnr like mara-matnr,

maktx like makt-maktx,

mbrsh like mara-mbrsh,

mtart like mara-mtart,

meins like mara-meins,

end of itab.

*--Internal table to hold the XML contents.

data : begin of it_xml occurs 1,

line(255) type c,

end of it_xml.

data : v_qty(16) type c.

select-options : s_matnr for mara-matnr.

start-of-selection.

perform get_data.

if not itab[] is initial.

perform build_xml.

endif.

end-of-selection.

perform download_xml.

Hi,

SAP uses # as representation of non-displayable characters. Switch to HEX representation to see what it really is. ENTER may be a simple line feed or a carriage-return and a linefeed. As it is only one character, Linefeed can be assumed. Remove it using

DELETE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE

Hi Clemens,

Thanks for your help.

if ur problem is not still solved(If u have more than 1 # in one line ) , then

data : v_len type i,
         v_i type i.

v_i = 0.

loop at itab into wa_itab.
 v_len = strlen(wa_itab).
v_len = v_len - 1.
 do v_len times.
    search wa_itab+v_i(1) for '#'.
     if sy-subrc eq 0.
         clear wa_itab_v_i(1).       
     endif.
     v_i = v_i + 1.
 enddo.
 modify itab from wa_itab.
endloop.
