invalid characters

[phil_moh]

We're on BI7.

I have loaded the record from Flat File into PSA, no problem.

Now when I try to load the redord from PSA into InfoCube via DTP, I hits the following error:

"

Diagnosis

Only the following standard characters are valid in characteristic

values by default:

!"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

Furthermore, characteristic values that only consist of the character #

or that begin with ! are not valid.

You are trying to load the invalid characteristic value Capacitor 17 &

(hexidecimal representation 436170616369746F72203137 ).

When I check the value of the record, it is as follow:

Capacitor 17

So dont see any problem with it. Please advise what is wrong and how can I solve it?

Thank you.

Is there a space at the beginning or ending of the value? If so, it needs to be trimmed or condesned in order for it to be acceptable. SAP BW chokes on values that start with or end with a space.

I check, no space at all...

please help.

Is the target InfoObject setup to accept lowercase letters? If not, you either have to convert to uppercase or check the 'Lowercase letters' checkbox on the General tab of the InfoObject.
