Storing Long String

Former Member — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:17:19 GMT

Hi Experts,

plz I need your help, I have a requirement to read a text file that contains html code for a table that

contains many fields, my job is to fill the table with certain data that I get from SAP.

currently, I am reading the file into itab that has a line of type c (255) and I dont know how to store

the whole itab into a string so that I can easily modify the content of the string.

I tried a loop like this but It took long time and at the end I got memory exception.

loop at itab1.

CONCATENATE htmlstr itab1-line into htmlstr.

ENDLOOP.

how to do this and what is the easiest solution for such requirement.

Thanks

did you search ? there are lots of threads about how to convert internal table to string in the forum!

I am surprised that you get memory error at these statements!!!! What is the size of this VERY HUGE file?

yes I did search and found how to convert string into itab but not the other way around.

and the text file I am reading is not large just 11 KB !!
