write statement

[Former Member]

Hi,

<u><i>I have a code snipplet as follows</i></u>:

write:

SY-VLINE, (9) I_OUTPUT-MENGE1 decimals 0 right-justified,

SY-VLINE, I_OUTPUT-MEINS1,

SY-VLINE, (9) I_OUTPUT-MENGE2 decimals 0 right-justified,

SY-VLINE, I_OUTPUT-MEINS2,

SY-VLINE, (8) G_Difference decimals 0 right-justified,

The digits in brackets signifies output length or column position?

Hi,

It denotes the column position.

Output Length..

position.

if it is was length it would be: -

I_OUTPUT-MENGE1(9).

[Former Member]

Hi,

It signifies out put length.

All those who got it wrong I think you need to look at the ABAP manual.

Lemme know what does the following statement does:

write: 10(5) 'Welcome'.

Is it 10th position and a width (or output length) of 5 places???

OR

Is it the other way round??/

Hi,

You are correct.

Check this code.

DATA : FLAG VALUE '%',
       FLAG1,
       RESULT(200) TYPE C VALUE 'ABCDEFGH'.

WRITE :  10(5) RESULT.

Thanks.

Debarshi just in abap editor write the statement write and press F1 It will show you the documentation.

By the way the thing I am pasting here that is from SAP help example.

DATA: WORD(16), VALUE '0123456789ABCDEF',

COL TYPE I VALUE 5,

LEN TYPE I VALUE 10.

WRITE AT / WORD. "new line

WRITE AT 5 WORD. "column 5

WRITE AT (10) WORD. "output length 10

WRITE AT /5(10) WORD. "new line, column 5, length 10

WRITE AT COL WORD. "column = contents of COL

WRITE AT (LEN) WORD. "output length = contents of LEN

WRITE AT /COL(LEN) WORD. "new line, column = contents of COL

"output length = contents of LEN

Hope you are clear now.
