[goriparthi]

Hi,


we are using abap extract stage to extract data from sap r/3 and in one of the jobs , i have a "#" sign in my data and i cant extract that , i mean the # symbol gets dropped when i am writing it to a sequential file.


Can any one of you guys help me out on this.


Thanks

Hi,

As far as I know the '#' and '$' characters are special characters in datastage. Generally the problem comes when you have these characters in metadata, I am not sure why these characters in the data should affect anything. But, you can try by setting the DS_ENABLE_RESERVED_CHAR_CONVERT parameter as true.

hi,


Thanks for your reply,

I tried it with the parameter enabled in both server and parallel job but it didnt work out . Is there any other work around for this.
