Permitted characters during BW data load

[#1]

Hello everyone,

I have problems loading data into my BW system because characters like "!" and "#" are not "allowed".

I went to RSKC txn., and added "!", but data load is still not possible, same error. RSKC now allows "ALL_CAPITAL,!" characters, however.

What else do I need to do?

Regards,

Mario Vallejo.

P.S. I manually edited PSA data to load my previous feed (because of urgency of load) but a 2nd feed that just came to my system had same problem and I had already used RSKC by that time.

I want to eliminate from root cause for future incidents.

Hi Mario,

'!' sign is allowed by default. However, values starting from it are not allowed, see OSS Note # #173241 - "Allowed characters in the BW System".

Look here for some additional info:

Thank you all.

I have made testing on my QA system, and confirmed RSKC should just contain "ALL_CAPITAL".

Still single "#" and "!" characters (per se) can't be loaded but that it's not a problem since these kind of characters normally do not come alone.

Hi,

After adding all the special characters in RSKC and considering all capitals...

If # or ! comes as a first character in the free text system raises error, even they are present in RSKC.

In this case try to replace the first character with some other character like 'X'.
