#(hash) sign printed out for spaces material description in PO

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have problem with my sapscript form for PO, when preview, the material description is ok

but when print out, the space between the word of the material description become # sign like

Leif#Eriksson#1oz#Silver#Coin###, this not happen to all item, only for certain material.

When checked, these material are not created manually in system but is uploaded by BDC.

In material master screen, there are no #sign either.

Any solution or what should I check ?

Thanks

Hi,

It seems that we have the same issue. Can you please let me know what the OSS note number is?

Thanks in advance

Well, as you've probably discovered by searching the forums, the # is a substitution for an unprintable character. I would look at the data value in debug, convert that to a hex value with a chart, and see what needed to be done to either clean up the data values or substitute a space for whatever character(s) the # values represent in the output.
