Hi Akshay,
Below is some more clarity on above response:--
No small letters are permitted for characteristic values (in the InfoObject maintenance). It depends, however, on the language being used as to whether a character is capitalized.
It is guaranteed that the characters ' !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=> 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' are capitalized in all languages. Thus these characters are permitted for characteristic values.
Example
The bit combination, that stands for an 'Ö' in German, displays a small 'sch' in the Russian character set. In this way, a German 'Ö' is not capitalized in Russian.
In the German character set, the bit combination shows a "pictured reflected P" for the Russian capitals "SCH". The conversion of small letters into capitals is, therefore, language-dependent.
Procedure
If you have a system, that delivers you permitted characters other than ' !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', you can enter these characters here. The system the checks whether these characters are capitalized in all of the installed languages in your system . If this is the case, then these characters are also accepted in characteristic values.
You should only add additional characters to the permitted characters, if you have already installed all the languages that you wish to use later. All languages that you install subsequently are not checked.
It is possible that the validity of these additional characters is then not guaranteed, and the selectability of the entire master data is, therefore, put at risk.
Hope this clears your doubts ...
