add spaces to data.

Former Member — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:56:21 GMT

I have a data field of 40 char.

e.g. lv_type = 'LOAN'

should display as " LOAN"

means though lv_type is 4 characters it should take 40 characters and add 36 spaces.

so how to add spaces appropriately.

if lv_type is 6 characters it should add 34 spaces.

Better try to declare the variable with length 40.

After getting the variable make a command like this

Shift left lv_vbeln deleting leading space.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Try declaring it as VARCHAR or LONGVARCHAR.

Reward if helpful.

This works


DATA: inval(4) TYPE c,
      outval(40) TYPE c.

inval = 'LOAN'.
WRITE inval TO outval RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
WRITE:/ outval.

Hi santosh,

1. This is one way. Just copy paste.



report abc.


data : lv_type(40) type c.
data : ln type i.

lv_type = 'LOAN'.

*-------------------------- before
write :/ lv_type.

*-------------------------- after
ln = strlen( lv_type ).
ln = 40 - ln.
shift lv_type right by ln places.
write :/ lv_type.

amit m.

Try to declare a variable like this.

Data : x(40)

Once you got the variable in the field u have declared what ever for example we name it as y.

Then make a assignment like this.

Y = X.

Hope it will works

Hi,

Just try this code:

DATA: VAR(10) TYPE C,

INT TYPE I,

LEN TYPE I.

VAR = 'ABC'.

WRITE: / VAR.

DESCRIBE FIELD VAR LENGTH LEN IN CHARACTER MODE.

INT = STRLEN( VAR ).

INT = LEN - INT.

SHIFT VAR BY INT PLACES RIGHT.

WRITE: / VAR.

Reward if useful.
