add line feed to string

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 17:39:44 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a Form that will output a bar code. That bar code is composed of 4 fields from a table that are concatenated into a string. The problem is that the client wants to read the bar code and have an output with 4 distinct lines on screen.

So, i need to add to my result string 3 carriage returns/line feeds. How do i do that ?

Hi Nuno,

When you concatenate try using the abap char utility for newline as well.

i.e CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE.

concatenate field1

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE

field2

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE

field3

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE

field4

into v_result.

Regards,

Ravi

See the BARCODE you need by trx SE73.

So you should use that barcode as chararcter type when you print your output.
