Hi All
We are facing a very typical problem with barcodes.
Till this date we were printing a barcode on an output which contained a tab feed between two fields, to enable automatic switch to the next field upon scanning by a RF device. This worked perfectly.
The tab has been inserted using cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
Recently, we upgraded our system (ECC 5.0) to SP24 and now the tab character is no longer recognised by the RF device.
I created a report to write a file on appl. server with tab separated values, and when i download the text file to my windows pc, the text is tab separated. However if i take a print of an output using similar code, i see a '#' instead of a tab space.
I suspect it is due to some changes in the way SAP interprets the hex characters in the kernel while printing. Also checked OSS, but found nothing relevant to printing.
Any pointers will be useful.
