[Former Member]

Hi,

Few jobs ended with problem status but all letters got printed.

I have checked the error log, Please find below screen shot.

FYI :

70 spool finished sucessfully.

71th spool completed with problem.

from 72 to 97 printed successfully.

How to find out the issue ?

Thanks,

Hello Vimal,

this message in SP01 print log means that a certain character in your ABAP print list could not be converted to the printer (=device type's) output character set and was replaced by #.It shows the location: it is on page 1 and list line 5823.

Best regards,

Hello Vimal,

normally you do not see many # in the SP01 display of spool lists, because the GUI can display a larger set of chars than a printer can typically print and the conversion takes place during actual printing.

If you already see the # chars in the SAPgui display of the list, then the field that contained the characters did contain some non-displayable character codes which obviously cannot be converted to a displayable character, so they get replaced by #.

You cannot do anything about this on the printing side. This issue is caused by the contents of the respective database field which shows the ### (I assume it is a DB table field). One  would need to "clean up" the field and replace the "non-printing" character codes by space characters.

Best regards

Hi Alex,

You are right, In DB table the corresponding field filled with "###".

I was planning to remove "###" which is stored in  DB.

Thanks a lot for speding your valuable time.
