Create tab seperated file on application server

[Former Member]

Hi all

I need to create a file with Tab separation. I have a solution on a 4.7 system as shown below. But this does not work on a 4.6 system as the class does not exist.

How can I do this on a 4.6 system?

Thank you four your reply.

CONSTANTS c_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

LOOP AT t_material.

CONCATENATE

t_material-id

t_material-brand

t_material-desc

t_material-level

t_material-flag

INTO w_line

SEPARATED BY c_tab.

TRANSFER w_line TO w_file2.

ENDLOOP.

do this way...

• Table to store final data

CONSTANTS: cns_09(2) TYPE n VALUE 09,

c_val1 TYPE c VALUE 'X'.

DATA: g_deli(1) TYPE c.

• table to place delimiter

DATA: BEGIN OF it_hex,

tab TYPE x,

END OF it_hex.

ASSIGN g_deli TO <fs> TYPE c_val1.

it_hex-tab = cns_09.

<fs> = it_hex-tab.

LOOP AT t_material.

CONCATENATE

t_material-id

t_material-brand

t_material-desc

t_material-level

t_material-flag

INTO w_line

SEPARATED BY g_deli.

TRANSFER w_line TO w_file2.

ENDLOOP.

hi,

Make use of ASCII value of TAB.

<b> constants : c_tab(2) type x value '09'.</b>

try to contatenate this constant instead of cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
