Inserting field separator

Former Member — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:30:47 GMT

Hi Experts,

This is my internal table.

data: begin of i_final occurs 0,

value1 type char10,

value2 type char20,

value3 type char30,

end of i_final.

These fields have the following values in them.

value1 = abc.

value2 = defghijkl.

value3 = pqrstuv

Now I should insert '~' symbol as the separator. But I have to insert the symbol

at the last position of its total length i.e for

value1 --> I have to insert at 10th position.

value2 --> I have to insert at 20th position.

value3 --> I have to insert at 30th position.

Thanks in advance.

thanks,

hii

calculate length first for every field .

give this in space.

length = strlen(value1)

do length-1.

use concatenate value1 ' ' into field1.

enddo.

concatenate field1 '~' into value.

thanks

Hi,

Try CONCATENATE value1 value2 value3 INTO finalfield SEPARATED BY '~' RESPECTING BLANKS.

Hello mohd. Aslam,

Try string operation


i_final-value1+10 = '~'.

i_final-value2+20 = '~'.

i_final-value3+30 = '~'.

CONCATENATE does not take into account the trailing blanks.

Hope this helps.

BR,

SUhas

Hi Mohamed,

try something like this:

SHIFT var BY 1 PLACES RIGHT.

var(1) = '~'.

SHIFT var BY 1 PLACES LEFT CIRCULAR.

Regards,

Martin

Hi Aslam ,

First u have to find the length of th string .

then add the empty space for the string , at the end of the string concatenate the "~" operator .

Ex .. strlen( a ) .

concatenate a ' ~' into a .

data: len type i,

var1 and var2 and var3 of type value1.2.3.

define itab_final also of type itab.

loop at itab.

len = strlen( value1).

var1 = value1+9.

var2 = value+9(len).

concatenate var1 '~' var2 into var3.

itab_final-value1 = var3.

append itab_final.

clear : len, var1,var2, var3.

len = strlen( value2).

var1 = value2+9.

var2 = value2+9(len).

concatenate var1 '~' var2 into var3.

itab_final-value2 = var3.

append itab_final.

clear : len, var1,var2, var3.

len = strlen( value3).

var1 = value3+9.

var2 = value3+9(len).

concatenate var1 '~' var2 into var3.

itab_final-value3 = var3.

append itab_final.

clear : len, var1,var2, var3.

endloop.

hope this will help u .

Hi Mohamed,

I created this sample code, I think it works for you.

TYPE-POOLS: abap.

data: begin of i_final occurs 0,
value1 type char10,
value2 type char20,
value3 type char30,
end of i_final.

DATA:  
        ls_components             TYPE abap_compdescr_tab,
        lo_strucdescr             TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
        lv_abap_comp              TYPE abap_compdescr.  "work area for the ls_components table, that provides the name of the field, as one of the components.


FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE ANY.


  lo_strucdescr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( i_final ).
  ls_components = lo_strucdescr->components.

i_final-value1 = 'abc'.
i_final-value2 = 'defghijkl'.
i_final-value3 = 'pqrstuv'.

LOOP AT ls_components INTO lv_abap_comp.
  ASSIGN lv_abap_comp-name TO <fs>.
  CONCATENATE 'i_final-' <fs> INTO <fs>.
  ASSIGN (<fs>) TO <fs>.
  CONCATENATE <fs> '~' INTO <fs>.
ENDLOOP.

WRITE:/ i_final-value1,
        i_final-value2,
        i_final-value3.
