How to delete space in an internal table

[former_member184119]

Hi All,

In internal table I want to compress the leading space

After searching I found Condense and SHIFT LEFT DELETE leading space commands work it is written...

but when I write code A single space is appreaing in between the two fields...can any body help me where I am going wrong??

Ex:

data: begin of itab occurs 1 ,

PSAtext TYPE CHAR15,

psa type btrtl,

end of itab.

now o/p BEFORE CHANGE IS :

SBI-CT    |1023

After condense is SBI-CT |1023

bETWEEN SBI-CT AND | there is a additional space. How can we avoid that?

The space after first field in internal table is separator b/w diff. columns.

Its not coming all the fields:

For example:

SBI-UT   |1023|US

Then after condense:

SBI-UT |1023|US

No space between 1023|us

Well Condense No-gaps works perfectly....

But when I field which is having internal space that is also supressing as I said above...

Please let me know for any other alternative for this?

Hi

i beleive this is because the spacing while defining the fields in the table.

the field will take the space defined during table declaration.

Thanks

Well this is what I am going to solve this

data:begin of STRING OCCURS 1 ,

S1 TYPE STRING,

END OF STRING.

loop at itab.

concatenate itab-f1 itab-f2 into string-s1 seperated by '|'.

append string.

end of itab.

then I can transfer this string to Application server.

Thanks for all the contributions.

Hi,

Application server

you should have told this in your question.

[former_member184119]

What difference it makes now Keshava?

any good alternative for this?

If you move it right justified then you will get a space in beginning. Whatever is happening is correct.

Your internal table field size is larger than the content in it !!!
