Blank Space displayed as # character - Smartform

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am facing a strange issue in printing a smartform. I would like to have any expert advice on the same.

I am displaying the VAT no on the PO form and the VAT No is like this '110 012'. There is space between 110 and 012, it is a single field value. But when I take a print preview or a printout. It is showed as '110#012'.

When I check it in debug mode, it does not display the # sign. The domain for VAT No is STCEG which is a character field.

Please let me know if anyone has any solution for the same.

Thanks,

Mayank

Hi,

Does this happen for all VAT numbers? Just as a test go to the master data and manually delete the space and then put it back - I'm guessing that this data was entered originally from a cut&paste source. Worth a try just to see what happens....
