String Function in ABAP?

Former Member — Thu, 14 May 2009 06:05:20 GMT

Hi,

Is there any function in ABAP which can read a string character by character.

E.g: String = "ABCDEF"

With 1st iteration it should return: "A"

With 2nd iteration it should return: "B"

With 2nd iteration it should return: "F"

Thanks,

Ravi

Hi Ravi!

maybe following coding may help you:

len = strlen(l_var_string)

do len times.

pos = sy-index - 1.

result = l_var_string+pos(1).

enddo.

Regards

Peter

Try these codes .Function module at times hamper the performance of your program as it loads the Function group memory at runtime into your program.

Parameters:p_char(30) type string.
data: w_len type i,
        w_len1 type i.

w_len = strlen( P_char ).

Do w_len times.
Write : p_char+w_len1(1).
add 1 to w_len1.
Enddo.

Hi,

You can acheive it like this.

DATA : string TYPE char6,

char TYPE c,

place type i,

cntr1 TYPE i.

string = 'ABCDEF'.

cntr1 = STRLEN( string ).

WHILE sy-index le cntr1.

place = sy-index - 1.

char = string+place(1).

ENDWHILE.
