To set percentage value, displayed with the char. %, when you want to store only the number, you can use conversion exit.

Here I made the choice to store the number as a string, otherwise, default value is 0 and in my case, 0% is different from empty value.

EDIT : Warning, solution below will work only if there is an accentuated caracter in first line.

Wrong encoding format file is a reccurent issue, especially when working on Windows.
If you don’t want to impose to end used an encoding format for text files, you can use the code below.

Use code below :

" ADRP-NAME_FIRST : First name
" ADRP-NAME_LAST  : Last name
" ADRP-NAME_TEXT  : Full name

DATA : lv_usrid     TYPE XUBNAME,
       lv_name_text TYPE ADRP-NAME_TEXT.

" [...]

SELECT SINGLE adrp~name_text INTO lv_name_text
  FROM usr21 JOIN adrp ON usr21~persnumber = adrp~persnumber
                      AND adrp~date_from   = '00010101'
                      AND adrp~nation      = ''
  WHERE usr21~bname = lv_usrid.

To insert a BR in a string char, use the following constant :

cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf

Search tag : CrLf, retour chariot, ligne, newline, new, carriage return
