Hi,

AL11 doesn't display some characters properly, because it is used as a tool for system troubleshooting, not for application data. Also, take a look at note 788907.

Hi Bhagya,

in Unicode systems, AL11 expects files to contain data encoded in UTF-8 - hence if the file contains UTF-8, the transaction will work. In case of Non-Unicode, special characters will be displayed as '#'.

One workaround could be to convert the data to UTF-8 e.g. with tools described in 747615.
