how to add extra space for a variable which is having already data in it dynamically...

for ex: if var1 contains 'asfsd' now at runtime i want to increase to increase the length so that some extra space is added at the end with the specified length

for length = 10

my result should b1 var1 = 'asfsd '

so at the last five space is added.

how to achieve this...

Hi,

data : str(10) type c,

str(11) type c.

str = 'hello'.

concatenate str ' ' into str1.

Hi Kiran,

U can try using the Shift command

DATA: A1(10) TYPE C VALUE 'ABCDEFGHIJ',

A2 TYPE STRING,

FIVE TYPE I VALUE 5.

A2 = A1.

SHIFT ALPHA1 BY FIVE PLACES.

SHIFT ALPHA2 RIGHT BY 2 PLACES

Now A1 now has the contents 'FGHIJ '

and A2 will have contents ' ABCDEFGHIJ'.

regrads,

hi

u can try this.

len = strlen( var1 ).

while len le 10.
  concatenate var1 ' ' into var1.
add 1 to len.
endwhile.

this will help u in adding any no of spaces at runtime.

hi Kiran,

do like this.

len = strlen( var1 ).

rem_len = 10 - len.

Do rem_len times.

concatenate var1 SPACE into var1.

rem_len = rem_len = 1.

enddo.

Hi

concatenation or shift does not give correct result.....

my requirement:::

var1 = 'abcd'.

var2 = 'efgh'.

write var1 var2.... o/p: abcdefgh

now at runtime i want to increase the length of var1 to 8 so that it has to consider the remaining 4 characters as spaces and now this space need to be concatenated and displayed along with data...(normally any extra space wont get displayed- but here i need display of this extra space)

so finally o/p should :::: abcd efgh not abcdefgh

Hi Kiran,

Concatenate the 2 variables in 3 variable of type string using space.

Eg)

Var1 = 'abc'

Var2 = 'def'

Var3 Type String.

Concatenate Var1 Var2 int oVar3 seperated by Sapce.

Write : Var3.

Your o/p will be: abc def.

Reward points if helpful.

Thanks & Regards
