Re: how to display alphabetic pyramid in ABAP

Bit of a strange requirement but something like this report should do the trick:

REPORT ytest.

DATA: gv_string TYPE syst_abcde,
       gv_len TYPE i,
       gv_ind TYPE i.

PARAMETERS: pa_let TYPE c OBLIGATORY.

START-OF-SELECTION.

   SEARCH sy-abcde for pa_let.
   gv_len = sy-fdpos + 1.
   gv_string = sy-abcde(gv_len).
   DO strlen( gv_string ) TIMES.
     DO strlen( gv_string ) TIMES.
       gv_ind = sy-index - 1.
       IF gv_ind < gv_len.
         WRITE: gv_string+gv_ind(1).
       ELSE.
         WRITE: space.
       ENDIF.
     ENDDO.
     DO ( strlen( gv_string ) - 1 ) TIMES.
       gv_ind = strlen( gv_string ) - sy-index - 1.
       IF gv_ind < gv_len.
         WRITE: gv_string+gv_ind(1).
       ELSE.
         WRITE: space.
       ENDIF.
     ENDDO.
     NEW-LINE.
     gv_len = gv_len - 1.
    
   ENDDO.
