skip a line in include text

[Former Member]

hi everyone.

i want to skip the first line in INCLUDE TEXT of a smart form.

is this possible?

if not then how can i get the (enter key) in READ_TEXT. if i enter a long text and there is a enter in between lines. then when i read it by READ_TEXT or READ_TEXT_INLINE . i dont get the enter key code.

Hello,

When you read the text using READ_TEXT, the data is returned in the table LINES(structure TLINE).

If there is a new line feed(which i assume to be the ENTER key code you're talking about) you'll have TDFORMAT = '/'.

What exactly do you want to achieve, can you elaborate?

hi,

well i have already tried that and TDFORMAT only returns * nothing else even if i give a new line feed.

basically i have a senario that i have to skip the first line of longtext.

lets say the long text is

Appearance

this is testing long text line no 1

line no 2

line no 3

now i have to skip the first line and print remaining lines in as is its format means if there is a new line feed i have to maintian that. now i have tried INCLUDE TEXT of smart form but i cant skip line in that.

and in READ_TEXT i am not getting the new line feed. i google it and found that the hexcode for newline is 0D00 and i can search it in string using cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf type of constant. but the TLINE structure that i get from READ_TEXT dosent have this code for new line.

thanks,

Definitely you won't get the LINE FEED in READ_TEXT.

I realised that in SO10 while defining Standard Text, hitting the "Enter" key puts a '' in the TDFORMAT. Interestingly '/' & '' behave the same! (Check in Print Preview)

Thanks Suhas,

you were right / and * behaving the same here. when i hit ENTER it enter * instead of /.
