Hi TMM,

sign is an ASCII code replacement for the Horizontal Tab in your file. The ABAP equivalent for it is CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

Hence to get the individual columns from a line separated by # use SPLIT AT CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB and it should help.

Cheers,

Aditya
