If symbol has the value 123456789. &symbol(3)& -> 123 &symbol(7)& -> 1234567  The SYST-UNAME field contains the logon name of a user called Einstein. The Dictionary entry for this field contains an output length of 12. &SYST-UNAME&… -> Einstein… &SYST-UNAME(9)&… -> Einstein … &SYST-UNAME(*)&… -> Einstein … Omitting the Leading Sign The S option can be used to ensure that the value is formatted without the sign.

Working with SAP ABAP has been great and challenging. The euphoric feeling when the end user start using your program and they were awed by the output far beyond their imagination. But sometimes, all those great achievements just turn into dust when they want a simple request, from their point of view, just a very simple request, and yet you could not deliver it. Take for example the "Double Rule" in accounting reports, most specifically, the Financials Reports. FI Functional and end-user pushes that report should show the double rule line.

I could not help myself to smile while writing this stuff, imagining in the future to come, my daughters would came across reading this stuff. Anyways, here it is. The trick here is to have a header table and the deta...
