LX137 - Details

• The SAP error message LX137 indicates that there is an issue with the format of a source segment in a data file being processed by the system. Specifically, the error message states that the source segment has a line-end character string that is not expected. The hexadecimal value 0A0D corresponds to a combination of carriage return (CR, 0D) and line feed (LF, 0A), which is often seen in files created on Windows systems.

  The primary cause of this error is that the data file being processed contains line endings that are not compatible with the expected format in SAP. In many cases, SAP expects line endings to be in a specific format (e.g., just LF 0A for Unix/Linux systems or just CR 0D for older systems).
