Suppress blank lines in scripts

[Former Member]

Hi All,

How do we suppress blank lines in scripts.

I need to display 3 fields fld1, fld2 and fld3 repectively. and while Im displaying them if any of these fields has no value then a blank line is displayed. How do we avoid that.

I have tried using conditons also,

1st line : * &fld1&

Condition: /: if &fld2& ne space (I have also used if not initial)

2nd line : / &fld2& (also tried * &fld2&)

/: endif

3rd line: * &fld3&

But inspite of this Im getting the blank line, any ideas/help how to solve this??

One more thing, in my script in the address itz defined currently in the std format as address paragraph as...endaddress...There is no priority mentioned, I tried moving around the fields with their order and things but it doesnt work. Kindly let me know how to change this.

Existing:

/: ADDRESS PARAGRAPH AS

/: TITLE &REGUH-ZANRE&

/: NAME &REGUH-NAME1&, &REGUH-NAME2&

/: STREET &REGUH-STRAS&

/: POBOX &REGUH-ZPFAC& CODE &REGUH-ZPST2& CITY &REGUH-ZPFOR&

/: POSTCODE &REGUH-ZPSTL&

/: REGION &REGUH-ZREGI&

/: CITY &REGUH-ZORT1&, &REGUH-ZORT2&

/: COUNTRY &REGUH-ZLAND&

/: FROMCOUNTRY &T001-LAND1

/: ADDRESSNUMBER &REGUH-ZADNR&

/: ENDADDRESS

My desired output is (In the same order and positions, also my above query to suppress blank lines is also related to the issue below):

&REGUH-ZNME1&&REGUH-ZNME2& (Same line)

&REGUH-STRAS&

&REGUH-ZORT2(I)&

&REGUH-ZORT1(I)&

&LV_COUNT(I)&&REGUH-PSTLZ&(Same line)

&REGUH-ZTLFX&&REGUH-ZTELF&(Same line)

Kindly let me know how to do this

Regards,

Narendra.

U can use this command.....

&SYMBOL(C)&

This is similar to Abap Command CONDENSE.

example....

Assume 'SAP Script' as Symbol.

&SYMBOL& -

---

> SAP Script.

where as....

&SYMBOL(C)& -

---

> SAPScript

Assuming ' Albert Einstein ' is the symbol value,

&symbol& -> Albert Einstein

&symbol(C)& -> Albert Einstein

OR...................

in SE71 under the paragraph formats, in the standard attributes u have an option called NO BALNK LINES.

If u want to do it in the driver program then use CONDENSE keyword

Reward points..

Hi,

The usage of (C) will not help as that just compresses the spaces if any, but usage of paragraph format may help. Shall try it out.

Thanks n Regards,

Hi Narendra,

Before passing the variable to Script, Use CONDENSE in the driver program.
