Fields Filled With Blanks

Former Member — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:17:12 GMT

Hi Experts.

I'm downloading a file in text format to send it to the bank, the bank request the file with a standard line size : 187, so i need to fill my fields with blanks if every single field does not fullfill it's own lenght. ex :

DATA : BEGIN OF it_test OCCURS 0,

NAME(50)

END OF it_test.

Now, when i fill the the internal table not every name has 50 Chars, some of them has 20, 15, 35, so i need to fill the rest of the field with blanks.

Tnks for the hlp.

Hi,

DATA : BEGIN OF it_test OCCURS 0,

NAME(50)

END OF it_test.

So the name is a charecter type, we can not add the spaces for the rest, but you can add the DOT(.) at the last so that it will take the spaces

If you are writting the data to the application server via open dataset and transer - the transfer command includes a length specifier.
