Allowing Special characters in BW

[Former Member]

Hi Experts ,

I have two cubes say c1,c2.

I need to allow one Special charaters say " x " to only one cube say c1 but not to cube c2.

What to be done.?

Because if i go and add this special charaters say " x" in RSKC, it allows into BW. i know that ,but

Why i raised this query is because ,if i now allow this specail character to this cube ,tommorow for any other application user say that Do not allow character ,what should i do ,should i go for routine?

Please help me....

Hi Laxman,

The best and efficient way of achieving this is through Routine. write a field level routine, which you want to allow this char and its so fexible and easy.

Partial allowing is not possible using global changes like RSKC.

Hi,

Write a routine for that particular field at the transformation level.

In this way you can control which special characters are to be allowed and which can be filtered out.
