FPY1 - Files on SAP server contain '#' character

[Former Member]

Hello All,

While payment run tcode- FPY1 one file is generated on application server.

The data in this file is with # character in the data spaces.

This file is generated by SAP automated process.

I am not getting from where this file is generated and why # is getting populated in between the data.

If we view the data from tcode- FDTA we are getting the correct result.

Want to know the reason why the data is populated with # in between.

Thanks.

Regards,

Neelambari

Hello,

The issue you described is a codepage issue. Note 1064779 should be helpful in this situation, please apply.

The note is of two parts, maunal steps and codings in which both need to be applied accordingly.

Please follow and implement also the 4 manual steps as in the notes.

1) - call transaction SE11

- enter table TFK042F in field "database table"

- hit icon "change"

- enter new field CODEPAGE (Dataelement CPCODEPAGE)

- activate table TFK042F

(if this field is already in TFK042F, please ignore this step)

2) - call transaction SE37

- enter Function module FKK_DME_FILE_OPEN

- hit icon "change"

- go to TAB "IMPORT"

- enter Importparameter C_FORMAT and TYPE TFK042F-FORMI

and activate the two switches "optional" and "pass value"

- activate function module FKK_DME_FILE_OPEN

(if this parameter is already in FKK_DME_FILE_OPEN, ignore this step)

3) - same as for step (1) call SE11 and enter view V_TFK042F in field

"view"

- add field CODEPAGE in view V_TFK042F as following:

Viewfield Table Field

CODEPAGE TFK042F CODEPAGE

- Activate view V_TFK042F

4) - Fills in the format you use in table TFK042F-CODEPAGE with the

value of the codepage you want to use.

Example:

REPORT z_fill_codepage.

UPDATE tfk042f SET codepage = 'your codepage number'

WHERE formi = 'your format'.

COMMIT WORK.

The second part of a note is the correction instruction (the coding

changes). This can be implemented into the system normally via

transaction SNOTE or be done manually.

Please check together with your housbank which codepage is needed.

Which codepage did you use yet?

Please have a look also at notes:

1365764

1334903

1324715

1179713

I hope this is helpful.

Regards

Could you please let me know how the issue is solved for you.

I am also facing same issue in IS-U-CA for ECC system for the same transaction.

Thanks,
