Truncating chracaters

Former Member — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 04:14:25 GMT

Hi,

I am getting data in one of the line of internal table which is greater than ceratin say 50 characters.

If that data is greater than 50 characters then I want to truncate remaining charaters after 50.

How do I do it ?

That is easy. While populating data you can handle taht.

ITAB-STRING = G_STRING+0(50).

Here ITAB-STRING is your internal table field which is 50 characters long.

G_STRING is actual string which can have any length.

hi Tushar ,

you can do this,

Loop at itab into wa.

len = strlen ( wa-string1 ).

if len gt 50.

wa-string1 = wa-string1+(50).

modify table itab from wa transporting string1.

endif.

endloop.
