Hi,

i have a requirement to generate a file with some data and at end the last line of the file should contain

Character 1: &

Character 2-15: 14 spaces.

Character 16-20: Total count of detail records, right justified and prefixed with zero. That means count from line 3 to file till end.

Character 21-23: 3 spaces

Character 24-33: Total dollar value of detail records. Right justified and zero prefixed. That means total amount from line 3 of our file till end.

Hi,

You need to write CONCATENATE with RESPECTING BLANKS addition to capture the blanks.

Use offset to fill the string after that append the string to file.

Example:

data: v_text type string.

move '&' to v_text+0(1).

move ' ' to v_text+1(14). --> give 14 spaces

.

.

append v_text to file.
