write series of space characters in a list

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

is there a way i can write a series of space characters in a list, i need a simpler way so that i'll not have to write it manually. right now my code looks like this.

write:/1 '|', '****', '|'. "<---(5 spaces)( represents space char).

the problem occurs when i need to write 50 spaces or more.

pls. help.

Thanks a lot.

data : m(50) type c.

data : myspace(50) type c.

data : howmany type i.

howmany = 25.

concatenate 'kishan' 'negi' into m separated by myspace(howmany).

write m.

<b>

write:/1 '|', myspace(howmany), '|'.</b>

Jesus,

You can write as

write:/1 '|', 5 '|'.

.

Here you are just mentioning the position where you need to wirte. Automatically the space will be coming in between.

rgds,

Hi Jesus,

you can get the spaces in this way...

Just check it.

REPORT ZTEST.

write:/1 '|', <b>` ` ,` ` ,` `, ` `, ` `,` `,</b> '|'.

<b>` `</b> one space.
