Seeing '#' along side a fieldvalue while trying to upload

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to upload two flat files into two respective internal tables and using a logic i am trying to bring the data from two files into one and download it.When i am uploading the field contents i can see that '#' is attached after the field value for all the entries of the table.

Thanks in Advance,

Sashi.

Hi sashi

I think that "#" is the field separator being used for the file. Since, ABAP editor cannot recognise the ASCII value for say tab delimited file, it will be displayed as "#".

u can remove # in loop endloop.

first move da value to a type c variable.

den use stmt

replace '#' in zch with space.

condense zch.

move da value back to original field from type c variable.

in GUI_UPLOAD fm use field seperator as '#' this will solve problem
