exclamatory mark not allowed in a table

[former_member474499]

Hello

We have created a table whose primary key is a field ZCARA that will get special charcters. However when filling the table via sm30 using the generated table manager, we are not able to enter an exclamatory mark in this field. This entry is converted to a space when we press "enter".

Do you have any idea of how to deal with this issue? Is Exclamatiry fiel a wildcard character?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards.

Hi Kima,

What is the data type for your field?  A character reference like CHAR50 should allow it.  If you are referencing a standard data type it may have a conversion routine attached to the domain which would make it a space.

The "!" is interpreted as a "reset character" used to delete input from an SAP field. You can allow this character to be input without clearing the field with the Program Attributes for Screen Elements "without reset". But you will be require to edit the generated dynpro(s)  and will have to reapply this change after each and every generation of the dialog.
