Hi all,

I have an itab with associated work area. I want to iterate over the itab using the work area...writing the fileds of the work area to a tab delimited row in an output file. What would be the most concise way to perform this operation? I started looking at using a field symbol to perform the write...but it occured to me that there is probably a way to write the entire work area to a tab delimited string in one fell swoop...gotta love this ABAP!!! Anyone have an idea?

Hello Mathew,

U could do like this:

DATA: OUTPUT TYPE STRING.

<b>CONSTANTS: CON_TAB TYPE X VALUE '09'.

LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.

CONCATENATE WA_ITAB-F1 WA_ITAB-F2 WA_ITAB-F1 INTO OUTPUT SEPARATED BY CON_TAB.

TRANSFER OUTPUT TO P_FILE.

ENDLOOP.</b>
