Sapscript: Do not interpret two commas in text as tab

[Former Member]

Since Sapscript interprets two commas in a row as a tab, this causes a problem for any form which prints out any text containing two commas. Does anyone know a way to get Sapscript to ignore these commas?

Hi,

One way could be, create a constant in the print program and use it in script.

eg: CONSTANTS: c_comma(2) TYPE c VALUE ',,'.

Inscript print this variable.

&c_comma&

Other way is use the character format.

eg: <AA>,,</AA>

First method is simple i feel.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hello friend, Welcome to SDN. The interpretation is different. Situation 1

/: Do,,not,,interpret,,two,,commas,,in,,text,,as,,tab

"the output will look like below text with tabs in between each word.
Do  not interpret two commas  in  text  as  tab

Situation 2.

"Define two variables in script editor like below and display.
/: DEFINE text1 = 'Do not interpret two,,commas in text as tab'
/: DEFINE text2 = ',,Text will be displayed like this'
/: &text1&,,&text2&
"The output will be like below
Do not interpret two,,commas in text as tab ,,Text will be displayed like this
"It does not care what is there inside program symbols &text1& and &text2&

I think that you will understand. Thanks Venkat.O
