WRITE string with line break inside string.

[daniel_humberg]

I would like to add a line break into a string that I want to write with the WRITE statement, but without using SKIP or NEWLINE or WRITE: \.

CONCATENATE 'part1'
            ?the_line_break?
            'part2'
  INTO lv_string.
WRITE lv_string.

Any idea?

Hi Daniel,

CONCATENATE 'part1'

cl_abap_char_utilities=>line_feed

'part2'

INTO lv_string.

WRITE lv_string.

Best regards,

cl_abap_char_utilities=>line_feed does not exist.

And cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline or cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf don't work. They are just written as '##'.

Hi ,

Use this : data: newline(2) TYPE x VALUE '0D0A'.

or just assign '/' to a constant and use it or you can go for cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline or cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf , if you are using a unicode system environment.

'0D0A' is only displayed as '0D0A'.

newline and cr_lf are displayed as '##'.

'/' is only displayed as '/'.

Does this mean that I am on a non-unicode system?

You can check it using the menu <i>system--> status</i>

look out for the value yes/no in the field <i>Unicode System</i>

It says

Unicode System: "No".

Interesting requirement..

WRITE statement does not interpret OS line break codes.

You've to program to induce line break, try the following example code.

data: lv_string(20),

lv_off type i.

concatenate 'part1'

'~'

'part2'

into lv_string.

search lv_string for '~'.

lv_off = sy-fdpos + 1.

write: at 1(sy-linsz) lv_string0(sy-fdpos), lv_stringlv_off.

hai,

try this,

class cl_abap_char_utilities definition load.

constants: c_tab type c value

cl_abap_char_utilities=>crlf.

*chech exact method in above class for carriage return and line feed

CONCATENATE 'text1' c_tab 'text2' c_tab 'text3' into gd_result.

write gd_result.

Hi loeiz,

as I said, cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf does not work.

I now found a solution that is similar to Sridhar soluion.

CONCATENATE 'text1' '~~~' 'text2' c_tab 'text3' 
  INTO lv_string. 
SPLIT lv_string AT '~~~' INTO TABLE lt_stringtab .

LOOP AT lt_stringtab INTO lv_string.
  WRITE / lv_string.
ENDLOOP.
