How do I left align a character variable?

Former Member — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 05:55:13 GMT

Hi.

I assigned the session no SY-MODNO to a character string SY_MOD.

However, the value stored in SY_MOD is right aligned. How do I left align it?

****************************************************************************

E.g. DATA: SY_MOD(6) TYPE C.

MOVE SY-MODNO TO SY_MOD.

****************************************************************************

Result: If SY-MODNO = 1, SY_MOD = ' 1'.

How do I make SY_MOD = '1 '? Thanks

Kian,

use the keyword left-justified.

for ex

WRITE: '123' LEFT-JUSTIFIED TO TARGET-FIELD1

Check the tcode ABAPHELP and search for LEFT-JUSTIFIED.

shift SY_MOD left deleting leading space.

or use

condense SY_MOD no-gaps.
