3736315 - CI-DS Data flow fails and columns shift when tabs in source field are parsed as delimiters, causing char-to-numeric errors - SAP Cloud Integration for data services

• During extraction from a SAP table, the presence of special characters (specifically tabulations, "tabs") in a description/address field causes a column shift in the record.
• In the source table (for example, field STRAS), two characters appear as “#” but show as tabs when exported.
• CI-DS logs report an error due to an attempt to send a CHAR value into a numeric field.
• The two tabs move subsequent fields to the right, causing content (for example, KATR10) to be read into a decimal field (for example, UMSA1).
• In some cases, no error is raised, but the output file is produced with misaligned columns and wrong data.
