<b>Space Compression</b> The symbol value is viewed as a sequence of ‘words’, each separated from the next by either one or a string of space characters. The C option has the effect of replacing each string of space characters with a single space and shifting the ‘words’ to the left as necessary to close up the gaps. Leading spaces are completely removed. The results are the same as those of the ABAP command CONDENSE.

Syntax:

&symbol(C)&

<b>Suppressing Output of Initial Values</b> Use the I option to suppress the output of symbols that still contain their initial values.

Syntax

&symbol(I)&

Assuming KNA1-UMSAT contains the value 0 and the currency is DEM.

&KNA1-UMSAT& -> 0,00

&KNA1-UMSAT(I)& ->

If the field contains an amount other than 0, this value is printed in the normal way.

&KNA1-UMSAT& -> 700,00

&KNA1-UMSAT(I)& -> 700,00

Assuming ' Albert Einstein ' is the symbol value,

&symbol& -> Albert Einstein

&symbol(C)& -> Albert Einstein

Hi Manu,

Formatting (I) option is used to surpress the display of initial values.

Generally, initial value of currey is like 0,00.

or Intial value of numeric is 0.

So, this I format option to surpress of printing those zeros.

Most of companies ask the developes, if the value is zero or initial, do not print. So that was the situation.

Hi Manu,

The I option suppresses the output of symbols that still contain their initial value.

syntax

&symbol(I)&

example

Assuming KNA1-UMSAT contains the value 0 and the currency is USD.

&KNA1-UMSAT& 0.00

&KNA1-UMSAT(I)&

If the field contains an amount other than 0, this value will be output in the usual way.

Regards,

SP.
