Euro Sign € converted to # during load into PSA

[marc_wolters]

Hello community members,

We have a strange issue that we are not able to solve.

We load texts for WBS-Elements with that standard SAP-extractor 0WBS_ELEMT_TEXTfrom ERP to BI.

In our DEV-system, all works fine, and the texts are transferred as expected.

In our PROD-Systen however, any € in the text is replaced by #

So example: "Investment < 10.000 €" is converted to "Investment < 10.000 #"

We have checked already the following:

- RSKC --> Settings are the same in both system, even at HEX level

- Codepages of the systems: these are also identical in all 4 systems (DEV: BI + ERP, PROD: BI + ERP)

Anyone any ideas ?Thanks

BR, Marc

Dear Marc,

If you decide to report an incident to SAP, please report it under component BW-WHM-DST.

Thanks and best regards,

Dear Marc,

The fact is not that € is replaced by #, it's because € is not allowed and then # is displayed.

Please see note 1151294, it mentions:

------------------------------

Still no allow character exist even though ALL_CAPITAL is set.

The following characteristic values are not permitted and lead to errors in the system:

" Values that consist only of the character #. This is because blank entries in variables are marked with # (no entry = space).

And Currency mark is not allowed.

$ £ \, including '€'.

------------------------------

However you mention DEV is working fine, I guess it may be a different situation. If you still have problem, you can report an incident to SAP.

Thanks and best regards,
Maggie
