Internal table null characters

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have internal table which has field data(char256).I am storing the data line by line...in some cases the line may be 5 characters or 50 or 150 char...but at the end when i view that table i have many null characters at the begin and end of the line of the internal table...how can i remove those null characters...condense is not working here...

Hi

What do you mean?

If you don't fill fully a line, it's normal to have null chararters on the right and you can't delete them

Hi,

As Max said this is normal when using char field... If this is an issue, you should use a string type.

when i use string type..the format is getting changed...so i am using character type...Is there any other way to delete the spaces??

Hi ,

Use Do loop and shift the characters to the left by ignoring the spaces.Move the new values to the result variable.

Hi,

Do your process in following steps,

1. Call a Do.. ENDLOOP.

2. Inside the loop , 1st call FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT and pass your input value, The output will

remove all the spaces from left and output will have left bound value.

3. Append the output of step 2 into your internal tables.

hi,

if you want to delete the tralining and leading spaces for the single field you can use the piece of code. for eg

Shift name left deleting leading space.

Shift name1 right leading trailing space.

Hope it should solve your issue
