Peter,

Thanks for your input.

You misunderstood the problem. The point is the SAP needs that LF and CR (chr(10) and chr(13)).

Of course, I used a hex editor to look at it, they are OK (0A and 0D). That's why it is frustrate.

Anybody who had a similar problem before, please help me.

Thanks,
Kitty

Strip out the chr(10) and chr(13) using

  update tname set field = replace(field,chr(13),' ')   where instr(column_name,chr(13)) > 0 having count(*) > 0;'

BUT check whether you want to replace your chr(10) and chr(13) with a space( ' ') or nothing ('').
Use the above 'where' clause in a select to look for these non-printers first.

Oh yes - don't judge data contents by what Notepad might show you. Use a hex editor (or dump) if you really want to check.
