Do what kkolb says. Fieldnames can't be "S/A", it needs to be s_a.

or "s_a". From the documentation;

  • Valid characters for field names are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, or _ .
  • Field names cannot begin with 0-9 or _ . Leading underscores are reserved for Splunk's internal variables.
  • International characters are not allowed.

can you clarify that is your goal ?

also S/A may not be a valid field name, try "S/A"
