how to replace character for a variable?

Former Member — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 08:21:10 GMT

Hi everyone,

In ABAP, if I want to replace * with & which in the variable 'input1'. How to write the code?

Thanks!

Type REPLACE into the abap editor, and then press F1. or TRANSLATE can also be used.

TRANSLATE string USING '*&'.

wuyia,

Use REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES.

For syntax, check ABAPHELP transaction.

TRANSALATE or REPLACE, base on your requirement.

Hi Wuyia,

Try this way:

Data:
  w_char(20).

w_char = 'ab*c*def*h'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '*' IN w_char WITH '&'.

Write: w_char.

With luck,

Pritam.

Use this sample code

MOVE 'ABCB' TO FIELD.

REPLACE 'B' WITH 'string' INTO field.

returns:

FIELD = 'AstringCB', SY-SUBRC = 0

The fields f and g in the REPLACE statement should not overlap.

Otherwise, the result is undefined.
