[former_member419269]

Hi ,

I have material and Material description , when I am doing change operation for Material descriptions while passing special characters like % # in the material description, getting XML parsing error.

without XML Payload also tried passing directly via parameters throwing an error.

Please let me know how to handle the special characters in ODATA SAP.

Please pass | (pipe) instead of % in URL & replace | (pipe) with % in redefine method code.It will definitely work.I faced this issue earlier.Framework does not accept(% , = etc).You can use @ also.

Hello Shaik,

As suggested by Ashwin please use ASCII values. For reference check below URL

Hi,

I just tried passing % and # to a text field with PUT and POST operation and it worked without any issues.

The payload looked was like:

1. <a:entry xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices">
2. <a:author><a:name/></a:author><a:content type="application/xml"><m:properties><d:Empid>1613</d:Empid><d:Empname>XYZ</d:Empname><d:Empadd>abcd%abcd#abc</d:Empadd><d:Empdesc>SSE</d:Empdesc></m:properties></a:content></a:entry>
3. 
   
4.

Hello Shaik,

Try to pass the ascii value instead of % # and check.

For % pass %25

For # pass %23
