Spaces issue in out bound interface

[Former Member]

Hi,

Iam working on outbound interface.Total the file length is 455 chars.

The last two fileds are 6 spaces.One field is 3 chars and another field is 3 chars.

After the file is generated the 6spaces is not showing.Insted of that one when hardcoded some values the 6 spaces is filling with hard coded values.When i remove the hardcoded values the 6 spaces is not showing.How i will get the last 6 spaces.

How are you passing data into the file?

Is it through OPEN DATASET?

If it is through this, you need to specify RESPECTING BLANKS

Hi Sujan,

While transferring data record to data set use LENGTH parameter.

Then it'll preserve your trailing spaces

Definately it works.

Ex:

DATA : len TYPE i VALUE 455. "length of your record


TRANSFER <record> TO <dataset> LENGTH len.

Hi,

Use CONCATENATE statement with RESPECTING BLANKS addition.
