Hi,

The ASCII list will be in the internal table "it_asc". You need to loop and identify the row you need.

Loop at it_asc into wf_asc.

...

if sy-index = 1.

Print "Row I want".

Exit.

endif.

Endloop.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Dinesh.

Hi, the listasci table of FM list_to_asci remains empty to me, although the contents of listobject table can be displayed correctly using FM DISPLAY_LIST. I can even see when debugging FM list_to_asci that when it scrolls through the lines of listobject, it is able to convert data into listasci, however, at the end this last variable is empty!

The way I call list_to_asci is:

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'

EXPORTING

LIST_INDEX = -1

WITH_LINE_BREAK = ' '
IMPORTING
LIST_STRING_ASCII = asci_string
LIST_DYN_ASCII =

TABLES

LISTASCI = asci_tab

LISTOBJECT = mem_tab

EXCEPTIONS

EMPTY_LIST = 1

LIST_INDEX_INVALID = 2

OTHERS = 3

By the way, the list object is from spool.

Can anyone help, pls??

Hi,

try to use follwing TYPE for your tables:

DATA asci_tab TYPE text180.
DATA mem_tab TYPE abaplist.

      CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
        TABLES
          listasci           = asci_tab 
          listobject         = mem_tab 
        EXCEPTIONS
          empty_list         = 1
          list_index_invalid = 2
          OTHERS             = 3.

Regards,

David
