Assign Multiple values to a Variable.

Former Member — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:27:57 GMT

I want to use a set of 5 different values of a particular variable in my FM. Is there any way in ABAP to assign multiple values on a single variable? Suppose, it is not a field of any table - just a normal variable!!!

Something like...

var_name = { val1, val2, val3, val4, val5 }.

Plz help.

A variable can store a single value at a time so if you want to assgign multiple values to a variable then one soultion can be use of CONCATENATE command.

I am not sure whether it will fulfil your requirements or not.

Example

CONCATENATE var1 var2 va3 var4 var4 into var SEPARATED BY space.

Hi,

You cannot assign multiple values to the same variable in ABAP. You can use Ranges for this.



Data: var_name like rsranges,
var like line of var.

var-SIGN = 'I'.
var-OPTION = 'CP'.

var-low = 'val1'.
append var to var_nam.

var-low = 'val2'.
append var to var_nam.

var-low = 'val3'.
append var to var_nam.

var-low = 'val4'.
append var to var_nam.

var-low = 'val5'.
append var to var_nam.

Can we use CONTAINS PATTERN operator while selecting records from a STD Table?

Like....

select firld1 field2.... fieldn

from <STD TABLE>

into table <INTERNAL TABLE>

where fieldx CP '#P#P'.

Hi,

It's advisable to use CP in if statement.

Just have a look at this.

Loop at <Your-internal-table.
IF <field> CP 'A@#$'.
** Write your code here.
ENDIF.
endloop.

Thanks

Hi,

No. The CP operator cannot be used directly in the select statement. Instead you can use like operation to search with wild card patterns.

Eg,


select firld1 field2.... fieldn
from <STD TABLE>
into table <INTERNAL TABLE>
where fieldx like  '%P%P%'.

Vik

Well am afraid you are not supposed to ask multiple questions within the same thread. It would be better if you close this thread and post a new one with all your queries.

Hi Faisal,

Well what was wrong with my reply? You mean ur asking not to reply for a different question? I felt we can consider replying for just one additional question instead of spamming the forum with new threads.

Hi Faisal/Vikred

Sorry for the confusion - In fact, my latter query is very much connected to former. and Vikred's reply solved my issue also.

For better understanding the query only, I changed the title for tht alone in my reply.

Thx a lot Vikred.
