You only need to use the attribute of the class HORIZONTAL_TAB, this is a TAB in a character field.

You can concatenate this attribute 4 times into another field and use that as your separator for your data.

Concatenate CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB into your field four times.

hi

if you wanted to do in a generic way , you will declare a variable

data: lv_tab type X value 09.

concatenate lv_tab lv_tab lv_tab lv_tab into string.

this is the generic way of doing it.

now we have a global variable alrady exiting in this class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB so why to declare it again.. when we have it.. so CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
