#'s coming up in IDOC when IDOC flatfile processed with RSEINB00

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have given IDOCs in flatfile structure which are needed to be loaded in backend SAP R/3 through XI and it needs some transformation,so we are using XI for mapping in between,otherwise we would have processed directly into R3.

Basically we are placing IDOC Flatfile in a folder and we are running RSEINB00 program on XI through a file port in XI and IDOCS are getting created in Backend SAP R/3.

When we place IDOC flatfile in Windows folder and process the file we are getting #s in IDOC fileds(many fields) ,but we don't see any #s when we process the IDOC flatfile when placing IDOC flatfile on UNIX .Our XI/PI is running on UNIX.

please help,what causing the problem?

Thank you,

Hi,

The Hashes might be the Horiizontal TAB or End of line characters. Where do you see these Hashes?

Hi Ravi kanth,

I see them (#s)in IDOC fields in backend SAP R/3 once the IDOC flatfile got processed.

as we are running RSEINB00 report on XI ,we noticed that empty tags are coming (from Windows OS Folder)in SXMB_MONI even before my mapping execution ,I think they are being populated as # in IDOC.but dont see this problem when IDOC file processed from UNIX folder.

You think ,if we save file in UTF-8 format or Binary might help rather than ANSI format and process it.

Thank you,
