help with the ABAP code

[Former Member]

Hi "Friends",

I have small problem, but i don't know how to solve it.

I changed an old program which had just executable report function. The display was written with "WRITE" sentence.

here is the code:

WRITE: / OUTPUT-MATKL(4), '|',

T023T-WGBEZ, '|',

AT 30 OUTPUT-MATNR+12(6), '|',

AT 39 OUTPUT-MAKTX, '|',

AT 90 OUTPUT-LABST, '|',

AT 110 OUTPUT-OMENG, '|',

AT 135 OUTPUT-BMENG, '|',

AT 165 VERFUEGBAR, '|'.

How can I set in new code that the columns will start at the same point?

New code:

FORM BUILD_LINE USING IW_DATA. "$001 start

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <L_VALUE>, "$001

<L_DATUM_EX>. "$001

DATA: L_LEN TYPE I. "$001

DATA: L_STRLEN TYPE I. "$001

DATA: L_TYPE. "$001

DATA: H_DATE_EXTERNAL(10) TYPE C. "$001

CLEAR: G_TRANSFER. "$001

REFRESH: GTW_FIELDS. "$001

*******

APP_NAME 'MATKL'.

APP_NAME 'WGBEZ'.

APP_NAME 'MATNR'.

APP_NAME 'MAKTX'.

APP_NAME 'LABST'.

APP_NAME 'OMENG'.

APP_NAME 'BMENG'.

APP_NAME 'VERFUEGBAR'.

And my question is how to set in new code that the A column starts AT 30, second AT 90.... How to set this?

I put the AT 30 infront of the APP_NAME, but doesn't work!! Please help.

Thanks for the help,

Hi Saso,

Your query is not so clear.As per my understanding ...we count the gap between subsequent fields by adding its field length..

suppose if first field ends at 30 then check the field length of second field add it to 30 ..this is the starting position of second field...

Hi,

Use BACK statement and then write ur output using write statement.

HI,

Its pretty simple:

<b>

1st example:</b>

WRITE :/ 10 watab-matnr , 25 watab-matkx , 40 watab-qty.

<b>2nd example:</b>

WRITE: / 10 OUTPUT-MATKL(4), 15 '|', 25 T023T-WGBEZ, 40 '|', 45 OUTPUT-MATNR+12(6),  60 '|'.

Best regards,

Uf, but I would like to write on unix file now and this write is'n possible anymore...

Here is the code I need to change... At this piece of code i need to change that the columns will be a the same place as was before when I used write sentance... There is another external program behind and I need to have the same structure as I have before....
