DATA : A(1).

DO 40 TIMES.

CONCATENATE A SPACE INTO A.

ENDDO.

Now Concatenate A in your last record.

Thanks

try this:

data  v_space type string,
  data:
"Local variable for a single SPACE
    l_v_char type string.
  clear v_space.

" Calling this metode a space is assigned to L_V_CHAR
  call method cl_abap_char_utilities=>get_simple_spaces_for_cur_cp
    receiving
      s_str = l_v_char.

" Populating the variable for spaces
  do 40 times.
    concatenate l_v_char+0(1) v_space into v_space.
  enddo.
" now v_space will have 40 spaces

Thanks for the reply sourav. But your code prints the value 0900. I dont want this value at the end of the line, i required blank spaces at the end of line while sending to the file on application server.

Hi All

We solved the the problem by

Declaring a varaible of type X with a value of '/OD' and concatenate at the end of each line.

Thanks for your support.
