Can't see space char in text file..

tiagofrancis

I´m exporting some data to a text file, when the variable is empty or not max string length, i have to fill the variable with the space char..
The problem is that i've already did this with padstr but nothing apperared..

Can you post the code you used?

In what way are you exporting the data?

I would use FORMAT instead of PADSTR...

DatVar := FORMAT(DatVar,MAXSTRLEN(DatVar),'<Text><Filler Character,0>');

IF g_recCustomer.GET(Table91110.Empresa) THEN
IF (g_recCustomer."Empresa Financiadora" = TRUE) THEN
IF (g_recCustomer."Grupo TAP" = TRUE)
THEN BEGIN

g_EmployeeNo := Table91110."Num. Empregado";
g_KeyString := "Num. Empregado"+"Grau de Parentesco"+"Num seq parentesco";
g_CodUCS := Table91110."Cód. Cliente";
FillChar;
g_fileFicheiro1.WRITE(g_EmployeeNo+g_KeyString+g_CodUCS);

END;


FillChar() ---> Function
BlankSpace := ' ';

IF g_EmployeeNo = '' THEN
g_EmployeeNo := PADSTR(g_EmployeeNo,MAXSTRLEN(g_EmployeeNo),BlankSpace);

IF g_KeyString = '' THEN
g_KeyString := PADSTR(g_KeyString,MAXSTRLEN(g_KeyString),BlankSpace);

IF g_CodUCS = '' THEN
g_CodUCS := PADSTR(g_CodUCS,MAXSTRLEN(g_CodUCS),BlankSpace);

Im exporting it with a report.

What are you trying to achieve by putting in the buffer of blank spaces?

tiagofrancis

NewString := PADSTR(String, Length [, FillCharacter])

i'm trying to put the spcace char in all "positions" of the empty variable
so i wont lose the position of the pointer in the text file.
e.g.

11111 22222 333333
11111 _____ 333333

the underscore should be the space char that happends if the variable is empty. ](*,)

Hi

you should have

BlankSpace := ' ';
instead of
BlankSpace := ' ';



Albert

Edit sorry the space character doesn't show in between the ''

If you would have used a dataport as supposed to by design you wouldn't have this issue.

In FillChar function please remove the IF statments or change them to IF STRLEN(...) <> MAXSTRLEN(...) THEN
