Record splitting when encountered with "##"

22 Views

Hi Everyone,

I facing a strange issue in a program. The program fetches data from a Y-table based on some selection criteria, it then concatenates each field value into a STRING variable and creates a pipe delimited text file. One of the fields is a TEXT field that contains some description for the vendor.

The problem that I am facing is when the text field contains 2 #, the records splits whenever it encounters 2 # and creates another record. This happens only when there are 2 #. I debugged the program but there's nothing within the program that has any code logic that splits the record at 2 #. I am not sure whether this is some kind of an escape sequence or something that ABAP handles differently. If it is I don't know how to resolve it!!

Can some one please help me on this issue?

Thanks in advance.
