Space padding does not work in open dataset statement

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are currently upgrading 4.6C system to ERP 6.0. Now we have abap program problem in open dataset statment.

By the way, system is not Unicode based in ERP 6.0.

Issue:

File created by the following statement does not containg trailing space before line break.

Statement:

Open dataset wa_file_name for output in text mode.

wg_text = 'A'

transfer wg_text to wa_file_name length 2.

Output:

A

(only A is printed and no traiing space after that)

We have tested legacy mode but in vein.

Actually this problem does not happen in R/3 Enterprise.

Any input is welcome.

Try Using

OPEN DATASET wa_file_name FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Other option such as NON-UNICODE didn't work either.
