Extracting texts which has its language field as blank?

Hi,

I am extracting texts for a characteristic from R/3 to BW.

In R/3, some of the texts for which langauge field ( Sprache ) values are blank.

And the respective texts which have some values ( say E and D ) in R/3

are extrated to BW with out any hassles! Problem is with the blank

language texts! They are not extracted to BW. i had made the texts

definition as language independent for the purpose in BW.

Is there any solution for this problem other than filling the blank

columns in R/3?

Thanks,

Ravi
