or how to convert the hot coded data into Char type variable?

Please help me....

DATA: BEGIN OF REPLSET,

LINE0(16) TYPE X VALUE '000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F',

LINE1(16) TYPE X VALUE '101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F',

LINE2(02) TYPE X VALUE '2227',

LINE7(01) TYPE X VALUE '7F',

Hi Sri,

You can use the class cl_abap_char_utilities to declare the hard coded values for type X.

Hi Sri,

You can convert hard coded data into chaR TYPE VARIABLE BY USING THE class cl_abap_char_utilities.See the exemple below.

Old statement: CONSTANTS: c_tab TYPE x VALUE '09', *****here value 9 is used for tab separator.

New statement: CONSTANTS: c_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Can we use like this:

DATA: BEGIN OF REPLSET,

LINE0(16) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab

VALUE '000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F',

LINE1(16) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE '101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F',

LINE2(02) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE '2227',

LINE7(01) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE '7F',

LINE8(13) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE '8182838485868788898B8D8E8F',

LINE9(14) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE '909192939495969798999B9D9E9F',

LINEA(11) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE 'A0A4A6A8A9AAABACADAEAF',

LINEB(15) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE 'B0B1B2B3B4B5B6B7B8B9BABBBCBDBE',

LINED(01) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab VALUE 'DF',

END OF REPLSET.

Do I need to change length here?

hi, i dont think thats the way u shud declare

dont use VALUE '2227' etc for declarations at the end.... u shud constant attributes in SE24

u can goto SE24 and check the attributes of what u can use, in ur case if u want to add a new line then u shud be using cl_abap_char_utilites=>newline (line feed )

u shud do something like this, first use the class

CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.

if u want to use constant attributes then u can use the below

charsize length of 1 character in bytes

newline

cr_lf

form_feed

horizontal_tab

vertical_tab

backspace

minchar

maxchar

then u shud access them like this

<b> cl_abap_char_utilites=>horizontal_tab </b>
