What does it do? String templates interpret the character combinations n, r , and t as control characters. Control CharacterMeaningHexadecimal value (UTF-8) nLine feed0A rReturn0D tTabulator09 In place of a control character, its hexadecimal value according to the current code page is inserted into the character string created by the string template.
Latest notes:
If a control character is to be included as literal text, its special meaning can be removed by prefixing it with the escape character .
The control characters in string templates replace the use of some attributes of the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES. NON_V5_HINTS
The control characters have no effect on classical dynpros and lists. They appear in a list output as the # character. However, you can see the effect in the textedit control, for example. ABAP_HINT_END
ABAP_EXAMPLE_VX5 The following example generates in code the representation of the results of a string template with the three possible control characters in the code page UTF-8, namely 0A0D09. The hexadecimal values 0A, 0D, and 09 stand for line feed, return, and tabulator. ABEXA 01318 ABAP_EXAMPLE_END
