Passing special characters in SAP Design Studio Query

Dec 26, 2017 at 03:43 PM | 223 Views

We have a query on SAP Design Studio with a prompt on a dimension. This dimension contains values with '(' and ')'. We are displaying this on a list box and then trying to pass the selected value to the prompt in the query. The query refresh fails with an error "Invalid Format". Any solution to this would be highly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Hi Tammy,

    Thanks for the links and appreciate your quick response. Even in the threads I couldn't find the right answer. I have the same issue when trying to replace special characters with a '\'. Design studio throws an error "Invalid Escape Sequence". Screenshots attached.special-characters-error-2.jpg special-characters-error.jpg

    Code:

    X_Filter_BUG = Convert.replaceAll(X_Filter_BUG, "(", "\(");

    We are using SAP Lumira Designer 2.0 SP2 Patch 1.
