Hi experts,

data: begin of t_file occurs 0,

line(1200) type c,

end of t_file.

Hi,

line is a char type variable of internal table t_file which can accomodate 1200 characters i.e, of length 1200.

i.e, t_file-line = '123....1200'.

Reward if it helps...

Regards,

Santosh

If you want to know the occupied length of the field you can use STRLEN as follows.

DATA: v_len type i.

v_len = STRLEN( t_file-line ).

But as others pointed out, any string greater than 1200 will be truncated.
