line break in string

Former Member — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:47:23 GMT

I want to make a line break in a string. Is this possible??

In Java it looks like "Hello

World".

The Output will look like

Hello

World

Hello Volker,

is your requirement to have it in one string?

Otherwise you can use the write statement:

write: 'Hello',

/ 'World'.

Best regards

we can declare a variable with value '/OD' hex value and concatenate to get a line break..

data: lv_line_feed type X value 'OD'

09.

data:word(10) type c.

start-of-selection.

word = 'HelloWorld'.

write: word+0(5).

write:/ word+5(5).

data: ch type string.

data: ch1(2) type c.

ch1 = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.

concatenate 'abc' 'def' into ch seperated by ch1.

write:/ ch.

it will display like abc##def.

the ## means line break here...

I really get the output abc##def. But what is the profit of this for me??

Friend,

OK Sir, please don't mind...

One more way is there...try this...

data: itab2 type table of string.

data: str type string value 'Hello World'.

split str at space into table itab2.

loop at itab2 into str.

write:/ str.

endloop.

in ABAP the line break is done by '/'.

so where ever it finds '/' in the write statement it goes to next line....it user decision to locate the position to be splitted.

you can do it this way too

data:word(10) type c.

data:word_length type i.

start-of-selection.

word = 'HelloWorld'.

word_length = strlen( word ).

if word_length > 5.

write: word+0(5).

write:/ word+5(word_length).

else.

write: word+0(5).

endif.

This are good ideas, but i want to give a string into a smartform and for this the line break must be "in the string". It must be possible in abap to do this like in Java:

String test = "hello""/n""world";

Or is this not possible?

I GUESS ITS NOT POSSIBLE...

BUT I THINK SO ITS POSSIBLE TO FORMAT THE STRING IN THE SMART FORM CODE.
