SKIP Statement

[Former Member]

Using SKIP Statement we can skip the lines in row wise in the list output.

How can we skip in column wise ?

Hi Manjunath,

You can do this way ....Specify the position beside the field where you want the field to be ....

 write : 25 itab-matnr.

Hi,

Use

WRITE: itab_slno,

25(18) ITAB-MATNR.

here 25 stands for space between 'serial no' and 'material number'.

18 stands for the material number to be printed ie., restricting the material number for 18 characters.

thanks & regards

I also answered in the same way in an interview.

But they told that there is a KEYWORD for that ..... What is that ?

If it is an ALV report then use OUTPUTLEN keyword.

ex:

fieldcat-outputlen = 20.

If it is a classical report you can use POSITION format.

ex:

write: /position(length) field.

write: /20(10) itab-matnr.
