Source Table Option for ECC Tables

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using ECC table directly in normal dataflow to extract the data.

I am able to see a red sign in the table icon in workspace but not able to see this red sign in case I use this table in ABAP Dataflow.

On further investigation table with red mark contains an option  as "Column Delimiter" and its default value is "/127"

Now the in our source table the data which we are getting contains this /127 in between the text and because of that column data is splitted into further columns and job is getting failed due to incorrect values.

Picture is attached for the same.

Is there any way we can avoid this Column Delimiter as we are expecting the data with almost all kind of special characters .

Hi Shagun,

The default delimiter is /127 (i.e. #).  Change it to something like | and see if that resolves your issue.

Thanks,

Hi Ravi,

I understand that we can modify this value to some other symbol, but at the same time I am not sure that if that symbol comes up in the text in some other column/ row and can create issue again.

Is there any way we can avoid this option in the table while using in normal dataflow?

As what I can see that the source table does not have this option when we are using this table in ABAP dataflow while this option is there while using table in normal dataflow.

Hi Shagun,

Im currently facing the same issue as you had. Did you find a solution for your problem? Or did you just change the delimiter? Im not sure about the effects if i just change the column delimiter. Thank you very much for your help.
