tostring function??

Former Member — Fri, 20 Jan 2006 21:27:51 GMT

Is there an ABAP version of a toStrng function in Java.

I want to input a structure/table name and I get in out put a string with all the contents of the structure as a string. It would be nice if I have options to have a field separator or if it is fixed length.

Thanks

Sure....notice here that "S" is a string.



report zrich_0003.


data: imara type table of mara with header line.
data: xmara type mara.

data: s type string.


select * from mara into table imara
          up to 5 rows.

read table imara into xmara index 1.

s = xmara.


write:/ s .

I am just going to use the transfer statement as my end goal is to write the contents to a file.

Thanks for your help
