Delete Carriage return from extracted data (flat file)

Former Member — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:57:34 GMT

Hello Abappers,

I'm facing the following problem, i need to delete the carraiage return code CR from the extracted file. I've done some research for that and found some topics talking about using 'cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF', but unfortunitly we have SAP 4.6C wich doesn't have this class. Is there any way to delete these CRs ?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards.

Hello,

The HEX value of CRLF is '0D0A'.

You can try using this.

Hi Fayssal,

Declare an hexadecimal variable which holds value '0D0A' and use REPLACE to delete carriage returns.

DATA: V_CR(2) type X value '0D0A'. 

replace all occurrences of V_CR in str with space.

Thanks,

Vinay

Hi,

Attribute 'cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF' is just a constant and its value is '0D' in hexa. So you can use '0D' (type X) instead.

To delete the CRs in your text you have to you must process your text in hexa mode and clear the '0D' in each line.

Hope this will help you,

Issa
