Hi

This is a formatting option.

(C) means condence

It makes multiple spaces int single space

eg. 'abc----


def' to 'abc-def' - is a space

points if useful

Cheers

Hi Karthick

when u display

-> vbak-meins

The output will include blank spaces

for eg: if the value is 9000, but the field can have a value of 16digits, so, it will take the include the blank spaces while displaying it in output.

->vbak-meins(C)

In dis, it will compress 12 blank spaces to one.

Output if the value is 9000 then

vbak-veins will display "____________9000"

vbak-meins(C) will display "_9000"

consider "_" as blank spaces.

Basically it is used in formatting..

->Hope this info will help you.

->Regards with Points if you find this info helpful.

Hi ,

vbak-meins pritnts what ever the data in vbak-meins where as

VBAK-MEINS in sapscripts compresses leading spaces if there any spaces in

for suppose

the value in VBAK-MEINS is ' BB' if you use &VBAK-MEINS& directly it prints as it is if you want to compress leading space you have to use &VBAK-MEINS(c)&

Thanks,

Hi,

meins(c) condence the spaces before the value display,where as meins not like that.

Like:

&symbol(Z)& Omit Leading Zeros

&symbol(S)& Omit Leading Sign

&symbol(<)& Display Leading Sign to the Left

&symbol(>)& Display Leading Sign to the Right

&symbol(C)& Compress Spaces

&symbol(.N)& Display upto N decimal places

&symbol(T)& Omit thousands separator

&symbol(R)& Right justified

&symbol(I)& Suppress output of the initial value
