If it is a smartform try to remove the gap/space like this...

Click on the text where &data& and click the pencil button (it will be under general attribute tab) it will take you to text editor, try to remove the space... save and activate.

This can also be achevied in smartform and SAP scripts by creating tabs spaces in paragraph format and using this tab space like this ,,&data&

&DATA(C)& should work...

Option C condenses, or replaces space characters with a single space moving the words to left as necessary to close the gaps..

try to use like this... &DATA(LC)& " if it still don't workout...

If smartform create program lines and

Data: var(20).

var = data.

Condense data no-gaps.

If in SAP script call external subroutines.. and remove all the gaps avialable in variable...

yes, delete the space before calling sap script is a good idea, but

I still want to know if it can be controlled in SAP Script Form(SE71)

If possible, it's better.

Thanks!

If it is a leading space always then you can do like this..

IF &Data+0(1)& EQ ' '

&DATA+1(20)&

ELSE

&data&

ENDIF

Wise to delete the space before calling sap script or using external subroutines.

It's a pity that the space is not always, and the the number of space is not fixed

Hii..Yang...

In SAP Script Or Smartform you can always use &DATA(C)& to Remove the SPACES.

It should work. there is no need of any workaround for this...
