Dynamic "write" position

Former Member — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 09:17:00 GMT

Dear all,

I want to know how to code a write statement with dynamic positioning like below:

Data: V_POS type i.

V_POS = 10.
Write:/V_POS 'Testing'.

I'm getting syntax error for the above. Please comment.

you can use PATTERN for write statement there you will get pattern for AT POS also or use like below

Data: wa_pos type i.

wa_pos = 2.

Write: at wa_pos 'program'.

Hi,

Data: V_POS type i.

V_POS = 10.

Write:/ v_POS. " give space after the "/"

Now it works fine

The following is the information from SAP Help.

You can position the output of a WRITE statement on the list by making a format specification before the field name as follows:

Syntax

WRITE AT [/][<pos>][(<len>)] <f>.

where

the slash '/' denotes a new line,

<pos> is a number or variable up to three digits long denoting the position on the screen,

<len> is a number or variable up to three digits long denoting the output length.

If the format specification contains only direct values (that is, no variables), you can omit the keyword AT.

WRITE 'First line.'.

WRITE 'Still first line.'

WRITE / 'Second line.'

WRITE /13 'Third line.'

For more info, see link:

Data: V_POS type i.

V_POS = 10.

Write: /V_POS 'Testing'.
