          vary l from p+0  next p+1    "then vary assignments are performed
          vary t from p+24 next p+23.
         if l = ' ' and t = ' '.
             l = t = '-'.

Hi,

Try this


REPORT  ZTREE1.
      data: l type C length 1,                         "leading  characters
            t type C length 1 ,                         "trailing characters
            done.                      "done flag
      parameters p type C LENGTH 25 default '    Vendor Number'.
      while done = ' '                 "the expression is evaluated first
          vary l from p+0(1)
                 next p+1(1) RANGE P    "then vary assignments are performed
          vary t from p+24(1)
                 next p+23(1) RANGE P.
         if l = ' ' and t = ' '.
             l = t = '-'.
         else.
             done = 'X'.
             endif.
         endwhile.
 write: / p.
