Actually the requirement is to put a seperator value in the FILLER A1
as H'05' . I have never encountered such thing previously.
Can anyone help me on this.
Regards

Is it something related to Natural? MQ? Can you elaborate more, maybe with some sample?

No,Its something related to creating tabs(purpose can be downloading it to excel) .Not sure why they asked us to code like that.But below is the thing what i found out.
1 SOME-DATA (A10)
1 Redefine SOME-DATA
2 A-data (A2)
2 Filler1 (A1)
2 B-data (A2)
2 filler2 (A1)
2 C-data (A4)
move H'05' to Filler1 Filler2
Move 'AB' to A-data
move 'CD' to B-data
move 'EFGH' to C-data
write work file 1 some-data
The data will look as follows in browse mode
AB.CD.EFGH
and in edit mode
AB BC EFGH
PLEASE REVIEW AND POST YOUR SUGGESTIONS |

Ofer,
It is related to creating reports,though there are many other easier and known ways to create tabs,they asked me to do in thier own way.
Can't help as i had never heard of it.The requirement says
Field variable Pos Length Database field Remark
#VAR-A 5 A3 XYZ
# FILLER-1 6 A1 H’05’ Excel separator
Thanks

Not true. It's H'05' in Natural.
...which is what we're talking about here. |

When you download data to use in a pc application (like a spreadsheet), it is most common to download a "tab-delimited" file.
The Hex'05' is the tab character.
When you become familiar/comfortable with this approach, you will find it may be the easiest way to create data to download for win-based reporting/loading. |
