Variable in web report selecting '#'

Question

Hi,
When I execute a BW report in Web, something really strange is happening.
I have got an optional variable for calender month. Whatever value I select, it changes to '#' by itself. It works well in RSRT.
If I type the value for e.g. 02.2007 manaully then it works well. But only when I select the variable value from the list (F4) then press "Add" and then "ok", it replaces the value with #.
Does anyone know why this is happening and what the solution to this.
Thanks,
Waseem.
