Internal error: function 'utf_to_row()' failed

[mansoor_nb]

I am extracting the data from the SAP custom defined table.I am executing the job by using FTP Method(Background) instead of using CPIC method to extract the data from the SAP table to avoid Time Out error.
The job design is as follows;
ABAP Extract Stage --------->Transformer----------------->Sequential Stage.

The SAP Custom Table contains some special characters such as ^M and è.Due to these special characters the Job is getting aborted while extracting the data from the source SAP custom defined table with the following Fatal Error "Internal error: function 'utf_to_row()' failed".

Please help me understand why i am getting this Fatal error and how can i handle these special characters in datastage while reading the data from the SAP Custom table.

Thanks and Regards
Mansoor

The ^M character is probably being interpreted as a line terminator. Can you successfully extract data directly (not using FTP background)?

No more than I threw on the original problem. It seems to be an issue when using the FTP (background) method. I have not investigated any further.
