hi,

check if the field has value, before printing:

IF email IS NOT INITIAL.
WRITE email.
ENDIF.

hope this helps

Use key word CONDENSE...

It is used to remove blank spaces...

Hi Hari,

Suppose the Firld for email in in the internal table is email.

Write-

Delete  t_email  from wa_email where email = '  '.

now print this internal table.

Sujit

Hi,

if you want to print only the the number of the characters and no blank spaces (e.g if mail is mail_id (at) mail-server.com and you want to print only the first 23 characters) use something like this.

DATA: mail(70) TYPE c,
      length TYPE i.

mail = 'mail_id (at) mail_server.com'.

length = STRLEN( mail ).
IF length > 0.
  WRITE mail(length).
ENDIF.
