CONDENSE

Basic form

CONDENSE c.

Addition

... NO-GAPS

Effect

Shifts the contents of the field c to the left, so that each word is separated by exactly one blank.

Example


DATA: BEGIN OF NAME,
        TITLE(8),       VALUE 'Dr.',
        FIRST_NAME(10), VALUE 'Michael',
        SURNAME(10),    VALUE 'Hofmann',
      END   OF NAME.
CONDENSE NAME.
WRITE NAME.

produces the output:

Dr. Michael Hofmann

Addition

... NO-GAPS

Effect

Suppresses all blanks from the field c

Example


DATA: BEGIN OF NAME,
        TITLE(8),       VALUE 'Dr.',
        FIRST_NAME(10), VALUE 'Michael',
        SURNAME(10),   VALUE 'Hofmann',
      END   OF NAME.
CONDENSE NAME NO-GAPS.

The contents of NAME is now " Dr.MichaelHofmann ".

Since the field string NAME is interpreted and handled like a type C field, the CONDENSE statement treats it as a whole and ignores any sub-fields. The contents of the component field would therefore now be as follows:

NAME-TITLE = 'Dr.Micha'
NAME-FIRST_NAME = 'elHofmann '
NAME-SURNAME = ' '

Note

Do not use CONDENSE to manipulate field strings that include fields not of type C. This could result in these component fields containing characters of a different (i.e. incorrect) type.

Note

Performance
The runtime required to condense three fields is about 20 msn (standardized micooseconds). The variant ... NO-GAPS needs about 12 msn.
