regarding padding

[Former Member]

experts,

can we padd up spaces to a value which is less than its

declared length ,if so ,how.

ex : val type char10.

val = 'ABCDE'.

if i use strlen ( val ) it should return me 10.

how to solve the above problem.

thanks in advance.

REPORT  ZTEST_LENGTH.

data: str(10).
data: len type i.
str = 'ABC'.

describe field str LENGTH len IN CHARACTER MODE.

write len.

hi babu,

if we take your example,

when we use

write 😕 str = 'ABC'.

a list gets generated, now when i click on ABC ,

all the value ie of length 10 should be highlighted together.

how to do that.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Check this.

DATA: var1(10) TYPE c VALUE 'ABC'.

WRITE:/1 var1.

SHIFT var1 RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.

WRITE:/1 var1.

Thanks,

Vinod.

write:/ str right-justified.

should not delete the values in turn should be padded

hi babu,

if i use

write:/ str right-justified

str gets printed right side,that's not the case.

ABC should be left alligned along with the spaces

concatenated to the right . and when i place the cursor

the total length of the field should be highlighted.

thanks in advance.

Use

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

and then check whether you are getting the correct value..
