Hi,

Convert it to character and do the concotenate..

call the function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT with the internal table. Give the delimiter in the parameter I_FIELD_SEPERATOR and it will give you the internal table I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA with the data...

Thanks

Do you mean you have combination of Char and Numeric fields to concatenate?

If yes, i think u need to store these numeric values in character data type variables and then concatenate.

Thanks,

Thank you for replies.

just want to make sure that the name of function module. SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT

Is it correct? Why does the system say it does not exist?

Thanks,

Lin

I'm also trying to convert an internal table to a text file (output), but also always receive the error message, that the function sap_convert_to_tex_format does not exist. If I try to find it via the "pattern" button it's not available nor through se37...even thoug I'm on release 6...can anyone help me??
