Edit output text file

[Former Member]

Hi Experts.

I wonder if there is any reading material that can help me about editing my output text file.

I defined a string and export it to a file. the problem is that i need the file begin at the second line.

didn't find any command would fulfil my request.

all the NEW-LINE's cmd are about printing right to the screen.

i also tried using the ASCII code and unfortunately it doesn't work...

Thanks alot!

Hi Markus

that's what i wrote:

0. DATA: text_line(368) TYPE c.

1. OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT

2. WITH NATIVE LINEFEED AT POSITION 12.

3. LOOP AT ls_output.

4. DATA: wa_ls_out LIKE LINE OF ls_output.

5. len_lifnr = strlen( wa_ls_out-lifnr ).

pos_lifnr = 8 - len_lifnr.

IF pos_lifnr > 0.

CONCATENATE

wa_ls_out-lifnr

str_len(pos_lifnr)

wa_ls_out-name1

INTO text_line.

ELSE.

CONCATENATE

wa_ls_out-lifnr

wa_ls_out-name1

INTO text_line.

ENDIF.

6. TRANSFER text_line TO p_file.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

at line 0. "text_line" - keep a string, length of 368 chars.

at line 1. "p_file" is my output file.

at line 3. "ls_output" it's an internal table that include the relevant fields i want to represent in seperate

lines.

unfortunately, at the output file it's written as one long line, and i need it as seperate lines.

i really appreciate if u have any suggestion,

Anyway Thanks a lot.
