How to replace &val& with value

former_member761936 — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:35:22 GMT

Hi All,

I want to replace the &VALUE& with value.

For example

If I have test like ' This process &procees_id' is need to be approved by &USER& ' ,

It should be populated as 'This process leave approval is need to be approved by NARENDRA'.The

values for Process_id and user willbe given by program dyanmically.

Can one please help us solving this problem.

Thanks and Regards,

Narendra.Somarouthu

I am assuming its a print prg..

dynamic data of  value say 10 20.

syntax: The &VALUE& with which program executed.
output:  The 10 20 with which program executed.

syntax: The value with which program executed.
output:  The value with which program executed.

Hi,

Try this way..

DATA : l_string type string.

l_string = ' This process &procees_id& is need to be approved by &USER& '.

REPLACE '&procees_id&' WITH 'leave approval' INTO l_sting.
REPLACE '&USER&' WITH 'NARENDRA' INTO l_sting.

>    If I have test like ' This process &procees_id' is  need to be approved by &USER& ' ,

the details u hv provided are quite insufficient, please tell where u r trying to print it.

I think chnaging the position of quotes will work, if u above statemet is already not working.

'This Process' &process_id& 'nedds to be approved by' &user&.

Hi,

Try this:

v_text = ' This process & is need to be approved by & ' .

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '&' in v_text WITH V_process.

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '&' in v_text WITH V_user.

Regards,

Dev.

Hi,

For inserting the values for 'process_id' and 'user', then this logic works

v_string = 'This process &process_id is need to be approved by &USER&'
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '$process_id' IN v_string WITH v_proces.
    REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '&USER&' IN v_string WITH v_user.
    CONDENSE v_string.

thanks\

Hi,

Considering your requirement to replace &value& is in forms.

take &value& under a named text-element(say 'text').

In your main program take a variable(say w_value) type compatible to &value& ( here it can be type string)

assign value to be passed to w_value.

call function module(FM) open_form.

Assign formname.

Call FM write_form.

assign the named text element and window (MAIN/VAR) to the export parameters of function module.

Call FM close_form.

ex:

data:

w_value type string.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING FORM = 'formname'

..................

w_value = 'Process_id text which u want to pass'.

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

EXPORTING ELEMENT = 'TEXT'

WINDOW = 'MAIN'

FUNCTION = 'SET'

TYPE = 'BODY'

............

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

......
