hi gurus, i have written the below code ,


types : begin of stud_emp,
         
            name type c length 10,
            rno type i,
            dob type d,
              end of studn_emp.
data itab type table of stud_emp.
data wa type stud_emp.
wa-name = 'a'. wa-rno = 1.  wa-dob = 20120101.
append wa to itab.
loop at itab into wa.
write : wa-name, 
           wa-rno,
             wa-dob, 
endloop.

but here i am getting the below output ,

a 1 00000000.

but i should get the output as a 1 20120101.

I am performed the debuging also , during debuging also i m getting 00000000 in the workarea.

please what might be the issue, to get the unexpected output.

tnx ,

praveen kodam.

Hi Praveen,

try: wa-dob = '20120101'. (i.e. with quotation marks).

Best regards

Hi thorsten

tnx for the reply, but why to place those in the quotation. As per my idea only string has to be placed in the quotation mark.

tnx

Hi Praveen,

D is considered as character type, see:
