SAPCE AFTER CHARACTERS

Former Member — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:37:54 GMT

Hi,

I am downloading a txt file for E payment but i am having one query...

when i download a txt file in header data i have one query

in header my last field is 20 character long but it has 4 character 'ABCD' (FOR EXAMPLE )

So now i want other 16 character should be space

I had done



DATA : SRC_CD(20).

  SHIFT  SRC_CD RIGHT DELETING TRAILING SPACE.
  TRANSLATE SRC_CD USING '* '.

  WA_HEADER-SRC_CD = SRC_CD.

  TRANSLATE WA_HEADER-SRC_CD USING '* '.

  APPEND WA_HEADER TO IT_HEADER.
  CLEAR WA_HEADER.

But when i open the txt file it does not put last 16 space

Pls help me on this.

Regards

Rajan

Hi rajan,

If you are sure to have space after the text i have a turnaround.

Try like this;

data lv_text(20) TYPE C VALUE 'ABCD'.

data : begin of itab OCCURS 0,
  lv_text(21),
  count,
  end of itab.

BREAK-POINT.
CONCATENATE lv_text '.' INTO itab-lv_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
itab-count = '1'.
APPEND itab.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
        EXPORTING
          filename                = 'c:\hello.txt'
          filetype                = 'DAT'
          write_lf                = 'X'
        TABLES
          data_tab                = itab.

Here i have increased the length of the variable to 21 and added a . (Dot) in 21st position. so download it as usual and after down load open it in notepad , Edit -> Replace, in that Find . (dot) and replace with '' (no space between quotes) and press Replace all.

If you need any clarification revert back.

First imp thing is that you can not add spaces after the last character of string. These sapces will be deleted automatically. One thing you can do is add spaces before the actual string using 'shift right'. But in this case, your field will be right alligned.

in gui_download function module use *WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' X'. *

it will separates column by column.
