Hi Rajesh,

Let us take a simple example.

You are printing vendor name as follows.

Vendor Name: &lfa1-lifnr&

print this as

if &lfa1-lifnr& is not initial.

Vendor Name: &lfa1-lifnr&

endif.

thanks & regards

hi,

In your form u code like this.

if &name1& is not initial.

/E NAME : &name1&.

ENDIF.

Then u will get name only when it has value.

In SAPScripts there's two methods

/: IF &name1& NE &SPACE&

AS NAME: &name1&

/: ENDIF

AS &'NAME: 'name1&

When using quotes inside the && the text only prints where there is a value.
