REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCIES

Former Member — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:32:59 GMT

Hello

Can somebody explain me the logic of ALL OCCURRENCIES in the the example below :

I think that this operator should replace A , ! with ' ' but the real output is different.

The real output is AA!A. It replaces all small characters with ' '. Why

DATA : l_PD(10) TYPE C.

l_pd = 'AbbA!A'.

replace all OCCURRENCES OF REGEX

'[^!"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]' in

l_pd with ' '.

Example

LOOP AT it_otfdata1 INTO wotfdata .

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF 'ORIGINAL' IN wotfdata-tdprintpar WITH 'DUPLICATE'.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

MODIFY it_otfdata1 FROM wotfdata INDEX sy-tabix TRANSPORTING tdprintpar.

*exit.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

APPEND LINES OF it_otfdata1 TO it_otfdata.
