The magic of write statement with edit mask SAP ABAP tutorial

In this SAP ABAP tutorial I will show you how powerful write statement actually is.Please refer to the following programs.

Program 1:     

Real time requirement – The client wants to display the date field in YYMMDD format. Mainly used in smart forms where different company wants to display the smart forms in different date format.

DATA : LV_OUTPUT(50) TYPE C.

WRITE SY-DATUM.

ULINE.

WRITE SY-DATUM TO LV_OUTPUT YYMMDD.

WRITE LV_OUTPUT.

Output : 140813

Program 2:

Real time requirement – The client wants to display the output without leading zeros. Mainly used in smart forms where the client wants a character value to be displayed as ‘123’ instead of ‘0000000123’ or vice versa.

DATA: num(10)            TYPE n VALUE '123',

      formatted_text(10) TYPE c .

WRITE num TO formatted_text.

WRITE formatted_text.

WRITE num TO formatted_text NO-ZERO.

WRITE formatted_text.

Program 3:

Real time requirement – The client wants to display the output without leading zeros. Mainly used in smart forms where the client wants a character value to be displayed as ‘123’ instead of ‘0000000123’ or vice versa.

DATA: lv_char(10)     TYPE c VALUE '0000000123',

      lv_output_c(10) TYPE c,

      lv_output_n(10) TYPE n.

WRITE / : 'Original Value : ', lv_char.

WRITE lv_char TO lv_output_c NO-ZERO.

WRITE lv_char TO lv_output_n NO-ZERO.

WRITE lv_char TO lv_char     NO-ZERO.

WRITE  : / 'Value assigned to type c : ', 40 lv_output_c.

WRITE  : / 'Value assigned to type n : ',40 lv_output_n.

WRITE  : / 'Value assigned to the same variable : ',40 lv_char.

Program 4:

Real time requirement – The client wants to display the output without any sign neither + nor -. Mainly used in smart forms where the client wants  a character value to be displayed as the number itself without any sign.

DATA: lv_var1   TYPE i,

      lv_output TYPE c LENGTH 10.

DO 10 TIMES.

  lv_var1 = sy-index - 5.

  IF lv_var1 >= 0.

    WRITE lv_var1 TO lv_output.

    WRITE : / lv_output.

  ELSE.

    WRITE lv_var1 TO lv_output NO-SIGN.

    WRITE : / lv_output.

  ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Program: 5.

Real time requirement – The client wants to display the output without any sign neither + nor -. Mainly used in smart forms where the client wants  a character value to be displayed as the number itself without any sign.

DATA: lv_var1   TYPE i VALUE -10,

      lv_output TYPE c LENGTH 10.

WRITE : / lv_var1.

WRITE lv_var1 NO-SIGN.
