convert letter case

Former Member — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:58:03 GMT

Hi,

I need to convert letter, example : UNITED KINGDOM into United Kingdom

what is your suggested method?

The best FM i can find is string_upper_lower_case but the result will be United kingdom, only the first letter is translated to capital.

Please help. Thanks.

Hi,

Try this.


v_str = 'UNITED KINGDOM'.

Split v_str at space into itab.

Loop at itab.

Call your FM.

Concatenate new_str itab-str into new_str separated by space.

endloop.

Hello,

You can use the FM SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE to convert the string to a title case (initials of each word in capitals). Have a look at the below code:

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1.

PARAMETERS: p_input TYPE swaexpdef-expr.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.

START-OF-SELECTION.

DATA: v_output_string TYPE swaexpdef-expr.

WRITE: / 'The input string is: ', p_input.

CALL FUNCTION 'SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE'

EXPORTING

input_expression = p_input

INPUT_STRING =

preserve_existing_capitals = ' '

capitalize_after_space = 'X'

IMPORTING

OUTPUT_STRING =

output_expression = v_output_string

EXCEPTIONS

expression_truncated = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

WRITE: 'The converted string in title case is: ', v_output_string.

ENDIF.

END-OF-SELECTION.

just Create a Z funciton module with the Below Code , its working Fine

Import Param:

STRING1

Export Param :

STRING

Exceptions

NOT_VALID

TOO_LONG

TOO_SMALL

----

Source Code----

DATA :

IT_TXTS TYPE TABLE OF STRING, "Tabel for data storing

WA_TXTS(100) TYPE C, "Getting each words

CP_TEXT TYPE STRING, "Copying text

NN_TEXT TYPE STRING. "Result text

CP_TEXT = STRING1.

SPLIT CP_TEXT AT SPACE INTO: TABLE IT_TXTS.

LOOP AT IT_TXTS INTO WA_TXTS.

PERFORM CHANGE_CASE USING WA_TXTS.

CONCATENATE NN_TEXT WA_TXTS INTO NN_TEXT SEPARATED BY SPACE.

ENDLOOP.

CONDENSE NN_TEXT.

CASE SY-SUBRC.

WHEN 0.

STRING = NN_TEXT.

EXIT.

WHEN 2.

RAISE NOT_VALID.

WHEN 3.

RAISE TOO_LONG.

WHEN 4.

RAISE TOO_SMALL.

ENDCASE.

Not sure why, but I get blank from the output.

this FM has obsoleted?

FM -> CALL FUNCTION 'SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE'

This works:

REPORT ztest LINE-SIZE 80 MESSAGE-ID zc.

DATA: text TYPE string   VALUE 'UNITED KINGDOM'.

WRITE: / 'Before -', text.

CALL FUNCTION 'SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE'
  EXPORTING
    input_string               = text
    preserve_existing_capitals = ' '
    capitalize_after_space     = 'X'
    language                   = sy-langu
  IMPORTING
    output_string              = text
  EXCEPTIONS
    expression_truncated       = 1
    OTHERS                     = 2.

WRITE: / 'After  -', text.

Output:

Before - UNITED KINGDOM
After  - United Kingdom

HI,

I think this cannot be possible...sap either convert's to upper case or lower case but not as per your requirement. you need to develop your onw functionality for this.
