RSKC and ALL_CAPITAL not allowing spaces

Question

Hi,
I have RSKC as ALL_CAPITAL
My PO Number is coming over as 'Contract Employee'
When I load I would get the following error:
<i>Value 'Contract Employee ' (hex. '52005400200043006F0072007000200043006F006E00740072') of characteristic 0PO_NUMBER contains inva
@5C@     09/07/2007     16:34:01     Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT table 0PO_NUMBER     RSDRO     302     
@5C@     09/07/2007     16:34:01     Activation of M records from DataStore object 0AFSD_DS2 terminated     RSM1     102     
@5C@     09/07/2007     16:34:01     Process 000016 returned with errors     RSODSO_PROCESSING     6     </i>
I would suppose that the error is pointing to the spaces and the lower case letters.
I display the text error message and it seems that the space is not recognizable, also the lower case is not recognizable. Here is the text error message:
<i>Only the following standard characters are valid in
values by default:
!"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST
Furthermore, characteristic values that only consis
or that begin with ! are not valid.
You are trying to load the invalid characteristic v
& (hexidecimal representation
52005400200043006F0072007000200043006F006E00740072)</i>
How can I fix this to load the PO Number with spaces and lower case letters?

Answer 1

Hi,
1. Check the datatype of the PO Number Infoobject. If it is NUMC, then the value is supposed to be Numeric.
2. Incase the datatype is CHAR, then, you may need to convert this lowercase to upper case using formula ( TOUPPER() ) or routine in the update rule for that Infoobject.
I dont think it's an issue with SPACE in your case.
