Dynamic "write" position

[Former Member]

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.

REPORT ZTESTTT.

Data: V_POS type i.

V_POS = 10.

Write: at V_POS 'Testing'.

Try one more time and check.

Try like this :

WRITE : /(var) 'TEST'.

try this

Data: V_POS type i.

V_POS = 10.

Write at v_pos 'Testing'.

hiii

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

Thanks & Regards.

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:

Hi,

I think there should a space between : and / that could be oneof the problem....

Data: V_POS type i.

V_POS = 10.

Write: /V_POS 'Testing'.

Hi efc,

i guess the best way for this is as many other has also told...

Data:
  v_pos type i.

v_pos = 10.

write at v_pos 'testing'.

regards.
