finding gap in input

Former Member — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:37:09 GMT

Lets say user inputs 0.123 0.456

How can I find out if the input field has a gap or space in it.

I tried

FIND ' ' in input

but this gives out subrc = 0 even when there is no space. Any ideas.

Hi,

use this code... its tested and is working fine....

parameters input(10) type c.

data w_rc type i.

perform check_space using input changing w_rc.
if w_rc = 1.
  write 'Space available'.
else.
  write 'No Space'.
endif.

form check_space using value(p_input) like input changing p_rc.
  data : lw_index type i value 0.
  while p_input+lw_index <> ' '.
    if p_input+lw_index(1) = ' '.
      p_rc = 1.
      exit.
    endif.
    add 1 to lw_index.
  endwhile.
endform.
