Program To display the triangle using special character

             Program To display the triangle using special character
                                 (By Polu Sreedevi)
Developed the program to display the
triangle using any special characters like ‘!@#$%^&*’. Here in selection
screen I am passing any special character and number of times and doing
validations on special character and num of times.
Validation: It should allow only special
characters
Num of times: it should not exceed 10 times.
Go to Se38 and enter the program name and
select create.

Write the below logic in source code.
DATA:i TYPE n,

      j TYPE n.

*Selection Screen

PARAMETERS:p_spec TYPE c,

           p_cnt(2) TYPE n.

*Declare constants

CONSTANTS: c_spec TYPE char10 VALUE‘!@#$%^&*()’,

           c_cnt TYPE char2 VALUE’10’.

*Validation

AT SELECTION-SCREEN .

*if it’s not special character
then display error message as ‘Enter valid input’.

  IF p_spec NA c_spec.

    MESSAGE  text001 TYPE ‘E’.

  ENDIF.

*If it’s exceeds 10 then display
error message as ‘Enter valid input’.

  IF p_cnt GT c_cnt.

    MESSAGE  text001 TYPE ‘E’.

  ENDIF.

START-OF-SELECTION .

*Logic

  i = 1.

  DO p_cnt TIMES.

    IF i LE p_cnt.

      j = 1.

      DO i TIMES.

        IF j LE i.

          WRITE: p_spec.

          j = j + 1.

        ENDIF.

      ENDDO.

      WRITE /.

      i = i + 1.

    ENDIF.

  ENDDO.

      Reminds me of my first exercises in Programming.. These are what we all do in C, C++, JAVA etc. to learn 🙂

      I'm pretty sure that "+" is a special character. Still, I got an error.
