Insert a tab - OPEN DATASET

Former Member — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:20:11 GMT

How can I insert a tab in a file that is created using OPEN DATASET / CLOSE DATASET.

I found some threads that talks about that but nothing work to me. I tried to concatenate all fields that i wanna display separeteb by a variable that I declared as a hexa with value 09 (TAB).

I appreciate all kind of help.

DATA : wa_file TYPE string,

IF NOT p_ufile IS INITIAL.

OPEN DATASET p_ufile FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

LOOP AT p_output INTO wa_file.

concanate ur hexa varaible here <<<<<<<<

TRANSFER wa_file TO p_ufile.

CLEAR wa_file.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET p_ufile.

I did that. Plz see my code:

DATA: vl_file(1000) type c,

vl_tab type x value '09'.

LOOP AT t_lista into wa_export

CLEAR: vl_file.

CONCATENATE wa_export-fiel1 wa_export-fiel2

.... wa_export-fiel8

INTO vl_file SEPARATED BY vl_tab.

vl_tamanho = STRLEN( vl_file ).

TRANSFER vl_file TO p_arq LENGTH vl_tamanho.

ENDLOOP.

Am i doing something wrong ?

Appears a message saying that I can concatenate variables only type C, N , D, T or STRING.

ur code looks good .. but to fix ur issue I would prefer to go with the use of field -s ymbols.

field-symobls : <fs_export> type wa_export.

LOOP AT t_lista assigning <fs_export>

CLEAR: vl_file.

CONCATENATE <fs_export>-fiel1 <fs_export>-fiel2

.... <fs_export>-fiel8

INTO vl_file SEPARATED BY vl_tab.

when ever u have this type of type conflict better use field symbols.

But the problem is not that. The variable vl_tab is type HEX and I CAN'T concatenate an HEX variable type.

co_line_feed TYPE x VALUE '0D'. <<<<<<<line feed the hex value..

CONCATENATE lf_line co_line_feed INTO lf_line.

APPEND lf_line TO p_output_file.

CLEAR lf_line.

Sry but the problem continues. Same message:

co_line_feed must be a character-type data object ( data type C, N, D, T or STRING ). field string.

I use 4.6 C version. Can be my version the motive because is not working ??
