€ currency sign not acceptable in RSKC

Hi BW experts,

I tried to add the u20AC currency sign in transaction RSKC but the system converted it to # when execute button is it. The system also produces an error message 'The input field contains prohibited characters (already deleted)'.

There is an OSS note 1159373 (Euro character not loaded during file upload) which explains the cause of this error. This note applies to a unicode system however my BI7 system isn't set as unicode. My BI7 system is currently on support pack 18.

I do not want to use ALL_CAPITAL in RSKC as it has caused a lot of issues previously. Is there another way to fix this problem ? I currently have text data with u20AC in them.

Please help.

Many thanks,

Anthony
