hi mehta,

The question does not really test a skill of a programmer, as much as general awareness of tricks to do that. In case you were wondering, a program whose output is its own source code is called a quine, something that might come of use over the next interview. The aforementioned Quine Page lists the following example for C:

charf="charf=%c%s%c;main()

{printf(f,34,f,34,10);}%c";

main(){printf(f,34,f,34,10);}

use abap methodology for the above.try..

if you wont do it,reply me. i will give you the code. but try.ok

thanks
