Hello Sainath,

There might be  a problem with the printer setting which is used to print the form. The printer setting for the form does not support that character.

Please change the printer setting and check the same !! it might solve the issue.

But as i see the character in which we are facing the issue is '-' and this is supported by all character sets. For detailed information place the screen shot of the output and the entry from the table. And also mention in which language the form is printed and which character set is used.

Hi sainathkaja,

It's possible that the symbol between sanand and II is not - (a minus sign) but is in fact – (a dash).

I hope you can see the difference, the dash is what MS Word turns the minus sign into into while you're typing.  If the address has been pasted or uploaded from such a source it could contain this character.

As Deepan has mentioned, not all device types (used to generate the smartform) can support these characters.

Regards,

Nick

       lv_cnt      type i,

       lv_dis(30)  type c,

       lv_temp(30) type c,

       lv_cntt     type i.

CONSTANTS: c_symb(04) value '<(>'.

lv_cnt = strlen( lv_text ).

ADD 1 to lv_cnt.

DO lv_cnt  TIMES.

lv_cntt = sy-index - 1.

lv_temp = lv_text+lv_cntt(1).

SEARCH '-' FOR lv_temp.

IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.

CONCATENATE lv_dis c_symb lv_temp c_symb into lv_dis.

ELSE.

CONCATENATE lv_dis lv_temp into lv_dis.

ENDIF.

I solved that problem. Try to this.

1. Copy the dash.

2. REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF 'dash' IN fieldname WITH '-'.

The # will now replaced by ( - ).

Thank you
