PC editor and SAP script Editor

[former_member156446]

Hi Gurus

When I enter a text and a comma and hit enter in the PC editor(MS word) and save the text and change the editor to SAP script editor the comma and enter is converted to this strange <(>,<)> sequence of characters. When I am having the data in a Internal table the data contains all the <(>,<)>. when I have a real comma in a sequence( sap is nice, and its good) that goes well like a real comma.

Tab have the same problem a tab in PC editor is converted to ,,,,,, in SAP script editor.

Is this a bug in SAP? Did any one face the same issue.

Note: I can use replace and use regex and al,l to over come this... but I wanted to make sure if other have the same problem.. and did they find a permanent note or solution.

Hi,

It is normal in SAP.

When you enter any text in PC editor with a comma it is interpreted in the script editor with <(>,<)> and when you directly enter a comma in the script editor then the comma remains in real as it is.

But the output remains the same.

any thoughts on Tab being saved as ,,,,,

Tab is converted to ,,,, because SAPScript controls the tab with the ,,. One Set of ,, deonates one tab position defined in the Paragraph format.

Hi,

As Ramakrishna has replied, the output will remain the same even after the presence of those unwanted characters. Even i faced the same problem.

The only way to avoid the same is to make the changes using SAP editor not PC editor.

Thanks,
