Create file using TRANSFER with spaces caracters and LF code

Former Member — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:21:45 GMT

Hi Abap Experts,

We develop an Abap program to create a flat file from a fixed length structure using TRANSFER instruction.

It appears reccords are created in flat file with variable length, terminated with LF code (Line Feed). Space caracters in the end of our structure are ignored in file.

Is there any option to force SAP using space caracters like significant caracters during file generation, and keeping LF at end of reccord ?

We work on SAP ECC6.0, SAP_ABA 700 SP12.

Thanks a lot.

Etienne
