user with space at the end

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it possible to create users with space at the end of the user id. I found some users in USR01 which have space at the end.

I tried to create one with space at the end, but couldn't.

Did anyone came across this before.

Thanks.

Hi Neha,

How and where did you see a space at the end of the user name?

It might be a presentation thing or a space added when you downloaded the data...

Cheers,

Hi,

It makes no difference if you create a user with space at the end or not as space character is not appended at the end.

You can create a user with space in between.

Thank you guys for the reply. The problem is solved now.

It was actually a non breaking space (nbsp) at the end and not an ordinary space at the end of the user id. I think it was created by copying from a spreadsheet which has this non breaking space at the end.

Thanks.

Neha.

No, tailing space characters are ignored (in contrast to space characters which are followed by other characters) - in ABAP (whenever a character field is used; using "STRING" typed input fields the situation is different).
