Challenging Question : ABAP TRANSFER statement Issue

Question

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am using statment
TRANSFER  g_str  TO  p_unixf   LENGTH 512.
to write the  <i>g_str</i>  to  UNIX  file  <i>p_unixf</i>
I have some <b>BLANK</b> spaces at the end of each record which I want to retain in the UNIX FILE.
But TRANSFER statment writes only character ignoring the BLANK spaces at the end.
All the record length should be of 512 in UNIX FILE irrespective of what data contains in the record.
Help is much appreciated!
Thanks

Answer 1

Try use a field type X at end of structure of internal table will be transfered to file.
For each line of internal table, place at type X field the value "0D" (CR).
DATA: BEGIN OF ti_file OCCURS 0,
       tipo(3),    
       space1(1),
       seq(4),
       cnpj(14),
       ano(1),
       retif(1),
       stcd1(6),
       valor(14),
       cnae(7),   
       space10(10),
       cr TYPE vv_crlf VALUE '0D',     "Use this field to line wrap with spaces
      END OF ti_file.
For each line of ti_file:
LOOP AT ti_file.
" Fill the fields
ti_file-cr = '0D'.
APPEND ti_file.
CLEAR ti_file.
