How to delete trailing spaces or invalid characters

Hi experts,
I am loading data into a DSO. But in the activation it is showin error. Data is coming upto New data table. After that it is showing error as:
=============================================
Value 'Eversafe ' (hex. '204576657273616665 ') of characteristic 0CUSTOMER contains invalid characte .
Diagnosis
    Only the following standard characters are valid in characteristic
    values by default:
    !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.
    Furthermore, characteristic values that only consist of the character #
    or that begin with ! are not valid.
    You are trying to load the invalid characteristic value Eversafe &
    (hexidecimal representation 204576657273616665 ).
System Response
Procedure
Procedure for System Administration
    Try to change the invalid characters to valid characters.
    If you want values that contain invalid characters to be admitted into
    the system, make the appropriate setting in BW Customizing . Refer to
    the documentation describing the requirements for special characters and
    the possible consequences.
===========================================
After i edit this in psa it is showing another record as error.
I think we have to delete the trailing spaces. If this is the case anyone please provide me how to write routine in the transfer rules to delete the trailing space.
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks & Regards,
V N.

Hi Venkat,

=============================================
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

'SHIFT variable RIGHT deleting trailing space' not working

I have a character field in a transaction that occasionally gets populated with a value that has a space at the end or at the beginning or both. This is causing the dataload to fail. I added code below to remove these spaces from the end and beginning-
SHIFT <variable> RIGHT deleting TRAILING space.
SHIFT <variable> LEFT deleting LEADING space.
The SHIFT LEFT works perfectly and deletes the space at the begining of the value but SHIFT RIGHT does not delete the space at the end for some reason. I tried defining the variable as a char (16), string but nothing seems to make it work.
Note: I cannot use CONDENSE because the value can have spaces in between that we cannot delete.
Any ideas why shift right wouldn't work?

Hi Maanasa,
First of all Shift works only with string datatype. So transfer the contents of that character field into a string datatype and do the shift operation.
Declare a string variable of that type. Data v_str type string.
Pass the contents of the character field into the string.
And do the shift operation on the string and pass the value of the string back to the character field.
Shift v_str by 1 places right.
Please try this.
Thanking you,
Jerry

How to trim / delete trailing space

My file contention conversion for recordset struture 'DT_INTERFACE_in_s' in recevier communication channel is below:
DT_INTERFACE_in_s.fieldNames     zdata1, zdata2,FILE_NAME
DT_INTERFACE_in_s.fieldFixedLengths     4,1000,0
DT_INTERFACE_in_s.fixedLengthTooShortHandling     Cut
DT_INTERFACE_in_s.ignoreRecordsetName     True
DT_INTERFACE_in_s.fieldContentFormatting     Trim
DT_INTERFACE_in_s.lastFieldsOptional     Yes
DT_INTERFACE_in_s.fieldSeparator
DT_FMS_INTERFACE_in_s.endSeparator     'nl'
The content of zdata1 and zdata2 are sent to receiver. But there are 1000 characters for zdata2. I want to delete the trailing space of zdata2. Pls. help

Hi,
This is because you are using fieldFixedLengths. So PI adds trailing spaces to match your configuration for the field to be 1000-characters long. Simply switch to fieldSeparator to have the fieldContentFormatting = Trim working fine.
I am also not sure if this is the configuration for sender or receiver channel. You are writing about the receiver, but some parameters you use are specific for sender only. Please refer here if required:

How to remove trailing spaces in SQL PLUS spool

Hi,
I've requirement to pull data from tables and I'm using sqlplus spool to automate data fetch from various tables:

Thanks,
Mahender.

Hi,
do you need LTRIM/RTRIM? This is namely your problem. By using a function around your column Oracle reserves the maximum lenght for the column. So what do you get without those functions? Furthermore you are concatenating all the columns. This is also a function. For getting '|' in between columns you can also set a seperator by using
set colsep '|'Herald ten Dam

How to transfer trailing spaces in the source field type c

Hello,
I have to splitt a string key of 120 characters into two InfoObjects (CHAR). The problem is, that the trailing spaces are lost in the character Field.
Has anybody an idea to avoid the lost?
Thank you.
Conversion Table for Source Field Type c
The characters in the source field are inserted in the target field, left-aligned. Trailing spaces in the source field are not transferred. If the target field is longer than the number of characters transferred, it is filled with blank characters to the right. If the target field is shorter, the number is truncated from the right.

Hi ,
Create two Characteristic InfoObjects in BW With length 60 Char and then in the Transfer Rules of this two InfoObjects write the Formula using Left() and right() function present in the Formula Builder .
That is First infoObject Contains the Left 60 Char and next one Contains the right 60 Char.

Vijay.

DMEE : Delete Trailing spaces in the output file..

Dear Friends
I am using a DMEE Tree t generate a payment file.
Everything is fine except that teh bank requires the trailing spaces to be deleted.
i.e. I am getting an output like below but with spaces in place of dots
:50H:/09618078222002EUR....................<CR/LF>
Sana'a............................................ <CR/LF>
:70:DMEE-TEST14.................<CR/LF>
Note:The dots represents spaces which I want to remove. The dots are added to show you the output...
The <CR/LF> is printing at the end of the field length. I mean if the field is 34 Chr long then the
<CR/LF> is getting printed at 35th Char irrexpective of teh field contents...
But the bank requires in the below format. i.e. remove the spaces thats all.
:50H:/09618078222002EUR<CR/LF>
Sana'a<CR/LF>
:70:DMEE-TEST14<CR/LF>
Can anyone help.
I am working on SAP 4.6C
Help will surely be reawrded....

Hello Sam,
I DO NOT know if i can make you understand the logic, but will give it a try )
The <CR/LF> is printing at the end of the field length. I mean if the field is 34 Chr long then the
<CR/LF> is getting printed at 35th Char irrexpective of teh field contents...
You define an element of length 35 char, then in the "Mapping Procedure" select the "Own Mapping (Atoms)" & set the "Atom Handling" as 01 (Concatenate values in element).
Then create the ATOMS: one with the value "DMEE-TEST14" & the other atom with the value "<CR/LF>
". The output will be a concatenation of the two fields )
Did you get what i wanted to tell you )

How do I remove spaces and special characters from the file name during rendering?

I understand that I can set LR_renamingTokensOn to true, but I would like to replace all spaces in the file name with an underscore and remove characters not in the range A-Z and 0-9. What's the easiest way to achieve this?

local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
local sesn = LrExportSession {
    photosToExport = { photo },
    exportSettings = {
        -- ... (determine from export preset) - whatev you want, just be sure you set export directory: LR_export_destinationPathPrefix
        LR_tokens = "{{custom_token}}",
        LR_tokenCustomString = LrPathUtils.removeExtension( photo:getFormattedMetadata( 'fileName' ) ):gsub( "[ %c]", "" ) -- remove spaces and control characters

Hi,
Its good that u pasted the complete log file. In your environment you have to run this upgrade tool only once from any of the middle tier.
And with respect to your error that u got in precheck is quite simple. All u have to do is just run this script from by connecting to portal schema using sqlplus.
Run dropupg.sql
Location-------- /raid/product/OraHome_1/upgrade/temp/portal/prechktmp/dropupg.sql
Later you re-run the upgrade tool and let me know the status.
Good luck

How to delete blank space from value of Infoobject in the transfer rule

does anyboady know how to write a routine in the transfer rule in order to delete ending blank spaces from value of Infoobject 'ORDTEXT'. E.g. value: 'ABM '? After routine, the result should be 'ABM'.
Thanks for any input.

Deleting 'ending blank spaces' from a character type field (ie info-object or text) in SAP is not meaningful. For all usage, a char type field of length 8 having value 'ABM ' is same as 'ABM'.
Ok, HTML is changing the display in the above, so let me restate it
For all usage, a char type field of length 8 having value 'ABM_____' is same as 'ABM', take the underscore character (_) in the first string as a placeholder for space character.

How to delete several spaces between clips on timeline

I have hundreds of clip selects in my timeline pulled on a particular track. However, they have spaces between all of them. How do I delete all of the spaces, so that I can view the clips back to back. I don't want to have to click on each space & hit delete a hundred times. In FCP you could just pull a clip to a separate track at the end & higlight the space from the beginning of the sequence to that clip + hold down the delete.. It would delete, delete, delete quickly, closing the gaps on other tracks where possible.
How can I do that efficiently in PremPro?!
TIA,
Heather

How to delete excessive spaces for a string??

like String s="i am a new guy"
how to make it to "i am a new guy" ??
i've tried trim() seems it does work for this case
thanks

oh......no i typed several spaces symbol between "i"
and "am" in the first sentence, but this forum seems
ignore those blank spacesIt doesn't if you use code tags. And it's not the forum, but HTML standard.
so what i am trying to do is. what if there are say,
100 spaces between two words in a sentence (string)
and i want to delete the excessive space and make it
just one space between two wordsThen trim() doesn't do what you want it to do. As the documentation clearly describes. Use replaceAll.
