hi,

Check this..



DATA: str1 TYPE string, 
          str2 TYPE string. 

str1 = 'ABCDEFGH'. 
str2 = '*ABC'. 

IF str1 CS str2. 
  WRITE : str1, 'Conatins', str2.
ENDIF. 

Contains String: True if the content of operand2 is contained in operand1. Upper/lower case is not taken
into account, trailing blanks of the left operand are taken into account. If operand1 is of type string and 
initial, or of type c and contains only blank characters, the logical expression is false, unless operand2 
is also of type string and initial, or of type c and only contains blank characters. In this case the logical 
expression is always true. If the result of the comparison is true, sy-fdpos contains the offset of 
operand2 in operand1. If the result of the comparison is negative, sy-fdpos contains the length of 
operand1.

Hi Akshaya

lv_a = ABC.

lv_b = ABD.

then we can compare them like

IF lv_a(2) = lv_b(2). "lv_a(2) = 'AB' = lv_b(2)

Hi Akshaya,

Try using offset because you are using Character strings.

like here in your case ABC and ABD are there.

So you can try it out like,

w_string0(2) = w_string10(2).

or if you want the 2nd and 3rd characters you can increment your offset like .

w_string+W_count(w_count1).

w_count = w+count + 1.

w_count1 = w_count1 + 1 .

Try using this logic hope it helps!

Much Regards,

Amuktha.

hi,


DATA:
counter TYPE i value '5',
fl_flag,
str1 TYPE char12 VALUE 'good morning',
str2 TYPE char12 VALUE 'good morning'.

DO counter TIMES.
  IF str1(sy-index) = str2(sy-index).
    fl_flag = 'X'.
  ELSE.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.
ENDDO.
IF fl_flag = 'X'.
  WRITE:
    'letter to letter mapped'.
ENDIF.

In the counter variable mention the position till where you want to check the strings.

Thanks
