Manish,

Use the Offset Concept.Check the field length and use it accordingly.

ex:-syntax WA_EMP-JOBTI+27(56) where u want to access starting from the 27th character to 56th character.

hi Manish,

you can do something like this:

SPLIT name AT space INTO itab.
gv_lines = lines( itab ). "in case there are more first names
READ TABLE itab INTO wa INDEX gv_lines. "this will be the last name
wa = wa(1).
MODIFY itab FROM wa INDEX gv_lines.
CONCATENATE itab INTO name.

hope this helps

Hi,

Try this.

data: off type i.

c1='Manish kumar'.

find ' ' in c match offset off.

c2 = c1+0(off + 1).

Sharin.

hi Manish ,

See pseudo code

DATA name(50) TYPE c VALUE 'manish kumar'.

DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
       a(50),
       b(50),
       END OF itab.

SPLIT name AT space INTO itab-a
                         itab-b.

CONCATENATE itab-a itab-b+0(1) INTO name separated by space.

write name.

Regards

HI...

Please see this example...

data: l_str1 TYPE string,

l_str2 TYPE string,

l_str3 TYPE string.

l_str1 = 'Subhankar Garani'.

SPLIT l_str1 at space INTO l_str2 l_str3.

CLEAR: l_str1.

CONCATENATE l_str2 l_str3(1) INTO l_str1 SEPARATED BY space.

WRITE: l_str1.

Hi,

Check this code:

LOOP AT itab INTO wa_itab.

SPLIT wa_itab-name AT space INTO name1 name2.

CONCATENATE name1 name2(1) INTO wa_itab-name separated by space.

MODIFY itab FROM wa_itab.

ENDLOOP.

Amit
