Space padding does not work in open dataset statement

Former Member — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:34:31 GMT

Hello,

We are currently upgrading 4.6C system to ERP 6.0. Now we have abap program problem in open dataset statment.

By the way, system is not Unicode based in ERP 6.0.

Issue:

File created by the following statement does not containg trailing space before line break.

Statement:

Open dataset wa_file_name for output in text mode.

wg_text = 'A'

transfer wg_text to wa_file_name length 2.

Output:

(only A is printed and no traiing space after that)

We have tested legacy mode but in vein.

Actually this problem does not happen in R/3 Enterprise.

Any input is welcome.

Regards,

Kazuya

Try Using

OPEN DATASET wa_file_name FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT

Hope this helps
