WRITE issue with a N type

Former Member — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:24:38 GMT

Hi, follows the scenario I'm using for the following question (I'm using ABAP/6):

DATA v8(7) TYPE N value '1234567'.

WRITE: / 'V8: ', v8.

--> there's a space after V8:

The output shows V8: 1234567 - with TWO spaces after V8:.

If, however, I use

WRITE: / 'V8: ' NO-GAP, v8

, the output shows the expected result:

V8: 1234567

instead of

V8:  1234567

My question is, thus: why does the sole WRITE command displays this 2nd space in the output ? It may have something to do with the N type, perhaps, but I declared a 7-long N field and I filled it all.

Thanks,

Avraham

hi,

do this way ...

Make use of concatenate statement ...


data: v_final(10).

concatenate 'V8: ' v8 into v_final.

WRITE: / v_final.

why are you giving space next to 'V8: '

WRITE: / 'V8:', v8.

Hi,

DATA v8(7) TYPE N value '1234567'.
WRITE: / 'V8:' no-gap , v8.

remove the space after 'v8:' .

hiii

gap will be display because you have put gap between V8: & '...

so change it like below.No-gap will delete space but after ', only

WRITE: / 'V8:', v8.

reward if useful

thx

Hi Avraham,

Just do the following.

write:/ ' V8: ', 3 V8.

here 3 is the number of spaces you want. It can be any number.

Hope this helps you.

Any queries, please get back to me.

Regards,

Chandra Sekhar

I may not have made myself clear, I know how to solve the problem, all I wanted was an answer for why does this happen. Where does the 2nd space come from.

When U write two variables .. they'll be separated by space..

In your case UR writing ( 'V8: ', v8 ) ..

One space is of 'V8: ' .. the other will be like a separator ..

Instead write ..

Write :/3 'V8: ',

7 v8.
