String TEmplate - new line

Former Member — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 09:52:39 GMT

I am tring to put a new line into a string template

data: lv_text type string.

lv_text = | Bond, James Bond \n | && | How do you do? |.

write: lv_text.

But apparently 'write' does not support this kind of new line.

Any idea how to to smuggle the new line into string template

so it works with 'write'?

Thank you

regards

Yuval

Hi Yuval,

Try with CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE.

e.g.

concatenate 'Bond, James Bond' CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE

'How do you do? ' into lv_text.

Thanks

Deependra

Try to use '/' to skip line or

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE

I guess you will need some programming for WRITE "list" output.

SPLIT AT ' \n' .. => WRITE

\n is the RegEx character for line-feed(LF).

The ABAP list processor cannot identify this character & displays the replacement character # instead. But if you view the variable(in debug mode) in HTML view you can see the line break.

I don't thing so that CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE will work with "Write"..

The point is you do not need concatenate any

more once you switch to string templates
