Find pattern ( number ) in a string.

Hello experts,

In an internal table i have a field with value

'Spool request (number 0000012086) sent to SAP printer con_133'.

now from this, i wnat to get the number '0000012086' into a varaible g_num.

The value of the number in the table-filed will change dynamically.

how to use FIND in this case??

thanks.

Hi,

You can get the spool number using system variable sy-spono.

assing sy-spono to g_num

Hi,

In such messages location of number is fixed, hence instead of using FIND you can use offset to determine the number

l_message+22(10).

To check if you have captured number only USE TRY ...CATCH...ENDTRY

DATA : l_num type i.

TRY.

l_num = l_message+22(10).

CATCH CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER.

MESSAGE exxx(mess class) with 'cannot assign number'.

ENDTRY.
