How to get Underscore?

Former Member — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 07:26:03 GMT

Hi All,

In my program, i want to get a pattern for table name.

That is,

for table name start with 'A', the pattern is 'A%'.

for table name in 4 characters, the pattern is '_ _ _ _'.

( 4 underscores without space. )

If underscores given in either parameters in a report or in a input/output field of a dynpro screen, inside the program the corresponding parameter or variable is initial. No value is there.

Anybody come across things like this????

How to get underscores via parameter or input/output field...?

With thanks,

R.Nagarajan.

Its not possible to get underscore alone using paramters.

Instead if you put any other character in begining and then underscore , then it will come.

So as you are using that value to check the pattern,

you can directly input from the parameters along with the single quotes.

eg: '____' -> enter all the characters in the parameter along with the single quotes and use that pattern directly in your program

YOU CAN USE SY-ULINE WITH POSITION LIKE .......

WRITE : /3(4) SY-ULINE .

Hi all,

SY-ULINE doesn't work.

I am going to use underscore as pattern in select query.

It is best to use regexp in the at-selection-screen on field and accept input if regex is satisfied.
