String Templates - control_characters

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax


 ... \n ... \r ... \t ...

Effect

String templates interpret the character combinations \n, \r, and \t as control characters.

Control Character Meaning Hexadecimal Value
\n Line break 0A
\r Return 0D
\t Tabulator 09

A control character is replaced by its hexadecimal value (appropriate to the current code page) in the memory of the character string created by the string template.


Notes

  • If a control character is to be displayed as literal text, it can be escaped by being prefixed with the escape character \.

  • The control characters in string templates replace the use of some attributes of the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES.


Example
