line break in string

[Former Member]

I want to make a line break in a string. Is this possible??

In Java it looks like "Hello

World".

The Output will look like

Hello

World

Hello Volker,

is your requirement to have it in one string?

Otherwise you can use the write statement:

write: 'Hello',

/ 'World'.

Yes in one String. I want to give a paramter string to another program und this makes write STRING

and the output is

Hello

World

we can declare a variable with value '/OD' hex value and concatenate to get a line break..

data: lv_line_feed type X value 'OD'

or

09.

I try this, but it don´t work. Type x? Can you write the exact code please? Thank you very much!

data:word(10) type c.

start-of-selection.

word = 'HelloWorld'.

write: word+0(5).

write:/ word+5(5).

I seyrch something like:

data test type string value 'test'.

data linebreak ?????

concatenate test linebreak test

data: ch type string.

data: ch1(2) type c.

ch1 = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.

concatenate 'abc' 'def' into ch seperated by ch1.

write:/ ch.

it will display like abc##def.

the ## means line break here...

[Former Member]

I really get the output abc##def. But what is the profit of this for me??

Friend,

OK Sir, please don't mind...

One more way is there...try this...

data: itab2 type table of string.

data: str type string value 'Hello World'.

split str at space into table itab2.

loop at itab2 into str.

write:/ str.

endloop.

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

in ABAP the line break is done by '/'.

so where ever it finds '/' in the write statement it goes to next line....it user decision to locate the position to be splitted.

you can do it this way too

data:word(10) type c.

data:word_length type i.

start-of-selection.

word = 'HelloWorld'.

word_length = strlen( word ).

if word_length > 5.

write: word+0(5).

write:/ word+5(word_length).

else.

write: word+0(5).

endif.

try this....

REPORT ZSAMPLE. .

start-of-selection.

write: 'hello', /1 'world'.

Reward points if useful.

Mr aruls post seemes to be more better

This are good ideas, but i want to give a string into a smartform and for this the line break must be "in the string". It must be possible in abap to do this like in Java:

String test = "hello""/n""world";

Or is this not possible?

Greetings Volker

I GUESS ITS NOT POSSIBLE...

BUT I THINK SO ITS POSSIBLE TO FORMAT THE STRING IN THE SMART FORM CODE.
