OLe-Insert a tabstop

Former Member

Hello everyone,

I inserted a Tabstop using the method:

CALL METHOD OF h_word 'FormatTabs'

EXPORTING

#1 = '1,25 cm'.

But how can I insert a Tab when I'm writing the text?

There is a method called 'NextTab()' but how do I use it?

E.g. when I insert "1.1 (tab) XYZ...".

Thank you!

Hai Kiran,

To insert tab you can try two options:

DATA: lv_text(20) type c.

1.

lv_text+2(1) = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

or

2.

concatenate 'aa' CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB 'bb' into lv_text.

Srikanth.
