Hi fellow abapers

I need to concatenate 3 words of type c to a variable type c, with even space between them in all the rows ,when i tried it ,i'm gettin the following output

TOM...........20.03.2008.......... 02 : 37 : 40

HARRY............20.03.2008........... 01 : 37 : 40

DICK........... 20.03.2008......... 00 : 37 : 40

how to bring even space between then in all rows.

TOM.............20.03.2008.......... 02 : 37 : 40

HARRY.........20.03.2008.......... 01 : 37 : 40

DICK............ 20.03.2008.......... 00 : 37 : 40

(no dots , its only to represent blanks)

i've tried with SEPARATED BY SPACE, RESPECTING BLANKS, CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

You can use OFFSET operations. Eg:

DATA: l_text TYPE char255.

LOOP AT itab INTO <wa>.
   CLEAR l_text.
   MOVE: <wa>-name TO l_text(20),
         <wa>-date TO l_text+20(10),
         <wa>-time TO l_text+30(10).
   WRITE:/ l_text.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Prabhu,

DATA: w_txt TYPE char60.

write : w_name to w_txt(30),

w_date TO w_txt+35(10),

w_time TO w_txt+50(10).

Sachin
