Is all your data character based? Then you don't need to.

For example, if you have a field1 length 10, and field2 length 12, simply do this:

DATA: BEGIN OF my_line,
        field1 TYPE C LENGTH 10,
        field2 TYPE C LENGTH 12,
     END OF my_struc.

" l_line contains ABCDEFGHIJZZZZZZZZZZZZ

my_line = l_line.

" my_line-field1 now contains ABCDEFGHIJ
" my_line-field2 now contains ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Hi,

Firstly how many parts do you need to split ?

If is is 2/3/4 you need not use a function module. You can do it in simple coding.

Ex : Say you want split the following set of characters into 3 words of known length. then you can use the following coding.

Data : w_total(15) type c value 'SAPSDNFORUM',

w_sap(3) type c,

w_sdn(3) type c,

w_for(3) type c.

w_sap = w_total+0(3).

w_sdn = w_total+3(3).

w_for = w_total+6(5).

use offset commands. i gave sample below

wa = 'WELCOME'

wa1 = wa+0(3).

value is WEL

wa2 = wa+3(2)

value is CO
