SAP Script help

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to format the o/p of a data in the script.the requirment is to give 2 spaces after every 2 characters.

for ex:if the data is 'WR56T8' then the o/p format should be 'WR 56 T8'.how can i do it in the script?i am not supposed to change the print program..so i cant use PERFORM in the script..

Thanks..

You use perform ONLY in case where you can't change the print program.

So you can use the perforsm in sap script.

/: PERFORM convert IN PROGRAM Ztest

/: USING &INPUT&

/: CHANGING &OUTPUT&

/: ENDPERFORM

in ztest:

FORM convert TABLES sap_data STRUCTURE itcsy

abap_data STRUCTURE itcsy.

DATA: V_OUTPUT(8).

READ TABLE sap_data WITH KEY name = 'INPUT'.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

CONCATENATE INPUT+0(2)

INPUT+2(2)

INPUT+4(2)

INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY SPACE.

ENDIF.

CONDENSE V_OUTPUT NO-GAPS.

READ TABLE abap_data WITH KEY name = 'OUTPUT'.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

abap_data-value = V_OUTPUT.

MODIFY abap_data INDEX sy-tabix.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

HI RAKESH,

EVEN IF U CANT CHANGE THE DRIVER PROGRAM U CAN STILL WRITE A PERFORM IN THE SCRIPT as the driver program will be calling ur script.

/: PERFORM get_value IN PROGRAM ZTEST

/: USING VAR1

/: CHANGING VAR2

/: ENDPERFORM.

FORM get-value TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY

OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.

DATA: STR TYPE STRING,

STR1 TYPE STRING,

STR2 TYPE STRING,

STR3 TYPE STRING.

READ TABLE IN_TAB WITH KEY NAME = VAR1.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

MOVE IN_TAB-VALUE TO str.

ENDIF.

str1 = str+0(2).

str2 = str+2(4).

str3 = str+4(6).

concatenate str1 str2 str3 into var2 separated by space.

READ TABLE OUT_TAB WITH KEY NAME = VAR2.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

MOVE VAR2 TO OUT_TAB-VALUE.

MODIFY OUT_TAB INDEX SY-TABIX.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

so whenever ur form is called and when the cursor goes to perform stmt it will go to the program ZTEST and execute.
