Hi,

I am getting a problem while writing data to a flat file.

Suppose I am writing two strings continuously

Str1: "SAP.#"

STR2 : "Germany"

It should write as SAP#Germany.

But Germany is been shifted to the next line i.s I am getting a line break.

ie. "SAP#"

"Germany"

Regards,

Sumeet

Hi,

The strings are coming from READ_TEXT function module and then written to the file.

Hi Sumeet,

All the special characters that are taken from external source are saved in the form of '#' in SAP . However, this value is different from teh normal hash symbol. So I believe teh value you are getting in the string1 is nothing but the new line character which represents that the next character followed by this string will come in next line.

Hope this will help.

Swarna Munukoti.
