What special character do you want?
your special character is probably beyond ZZZZZ in the numenclature of characters.
enter you special character instead of the Zs in the number range definition and try again.

Report For list of material Master with PO text

Hi all,
I need a report whether it is available in Standard SAP or a customized, for List of Material Master with their PO text.
If any one can help, please reply to this theard.
Regards,
Kapil Kulkarni

To get the material number combined with the PO text you will need the help of an ABAP programmer. The programmer can create a report for you using the function module READ_TEXT in the function group STXD. The tables to use are:
STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header
STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines
The selection screen should have at least the following:
OBJECT - STXH-TDOBJECT
NAME - STXH-TDNAME
LANGUAGE - STXH-TDSPRAS
TEXTID - STXH-TDID
You find the information for these fields by going to the PO text entry screen and displaying the header information under Goto -> Header. For materials, the object is MATERIAL, the name is "material number", the language is "EN", and the text ID is BEST. You can use this program to get long text in lots of places like information records, purchase order texts, etc.
Hope this helps.

Error: Invalid dimension member with special character / in BPC NW 7.5 SP7

Hi experts,
We are encountering the following problem in our Financial Planning application.
We are migrating our existing BPC solution from one server to another through backup and restore. The existing solution was on BPC NW 7.5 SP 5. The profit_centre dimension in the existing solutions has several member ids with special character '/' (forward slash). The dimension never threw an error when processed in the existing solution and there is planning transactional data against these member ids.
While the entire configration , appset , files were successfully restored through UJBR on the new system (BPC 7.5 SP7) through UJBR (backup and restore), the masterdata could not be restored only for this Profit_centre (masterdata for other dimensions were processed successfullu). All the member ids with / are rejected for this dimension. The same error is thrown if processed through the admin client from the member sheet.
Error: Dimension member PC_FF/WS/NT is an invalid member ID
Error in Admin module
Is there any setting which need to be made to allow / character in member ids? Any suggestion to get around this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Abhiman

Hi Abhiman,
Yes, you need to maintain the transformation file to correct all dimension member IDs. Can you please refer to the following link with a similar issue:

I want validation while creating material master with profit center

Dear Experts,
I want validation while creating material master with profit center.
If 0001 plant having 100100 profit center
0002 plant having 200200 profit center
Material A cant be created for 0001 plant for with wrong profit center 200200.
Kindly help & provide me solution clearly

Hi,
Profit centers are assigned to controlling areas. And controlling areas can have many plants under them. So as long as both the plants and profit centers are in the same controlling area users will be able to extend the materials.
You should put in your validation control in the material master user exit. One of the exits you can use is
MGA00001 Material Master (Industry): Checks and Enhancements

No there are no restrictions from LDAP,
also I am able to give 32 character password in Coreid Console,
it seems that the web services have a restriction on password length.
Moreover, these web services used to accept 32 characyer passwords few months ago. we lately recognized this issue happening recent times.
I suspect some Oracle hotfix or patch would have made the difference.
But I am clue less how to trace it,
Any help would be appreciated

Problem with special Character & in Proxy

Hi,
We have a File --> XI --> R/3 Scenario. In this scenario, from XI we are passing the data to R/3 by calling the Proxy. When the data in the file has special character like & (for example <Companyname>Dave&Busters</Companyname>), it is failing in R/3. But if I replace "&" with "&" in the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this problem without writting custom code in XI to replace & with &.
Thanks
Sudheer

No. If the sender of the message provides an XML format with an unescaped &, then the XML is not valid and therefore cannot be processed.
All adapters (IDOC, RFC, File with content conversion) perform the escaping and deescaping.

How to deal with special character in source file

Hi experts,
i am doing a file to file scenario in which my source file contains many special characters when i am puting this file into moni its going with the special character .My source file is a fixed length file so in content conversion i have specified the file length but due to these special charcters these field lenght is also varing.So please guide me how to deal with these special characters in sender adapter
regards,
Saurabh

you could try using a Java Mapping to change the encoding manually. For that, set the encoding of the OutputFormat of the XML you'll serialize. Try the following code piece for the mapping (inside a try/catch declaration):
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document input = documentBuilder.parse(in);
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(XML, "ISO-8859-1", false);
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);
For more details check this guide:

Problem with special character in Unix file

Hi All,
Need a help here. We have unicoded our system recently.
It's regarding a special character (umlaut) that comes through a 3rd party system to an Unix file. This gets displayed in AL11 file as # instead of ö.
As our program picks the file from Unix, it also has the # but we want ö.
We could have done some fixes in our code to fix if AL11 file at least had ö and we got # in our program.
But it's the other way round. So, how can we get rid of this issue? Please suggest.
Regards,
Sanj.

How Al11 is reading file ? Look for
OPEN DATASET "yourfilename" IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT
IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
If the above code is there .. you might need to play with different 'OPEN DATASET " options .
Also look for Note 1174468 - Non-7bit-ASCII characters used in ABAP Workbench
Note 1227961 - Names of text fields with non-7-bit ASCII characters
Good Luck !
