Sometime it happens that users accidentally enters a horizontal tab into a text field when creating order. These are translated into BW as hexadecimal. BW displays these values as a hash tag (#). When activating a DSO, SIDs cannot be generated for these hashes. It is therefore necessary to replace these hashes with a normal characters like a space. The ABAP code below can be used for this purpose.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB in lv_string WITH space.
This code uses class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES to get the hexadecimal representation for a horizontal tab. Also other hexadecimal representations are available in this class.
