Splitting a string

Former Member — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:03:49 GMT

Hi all,

I have a string as follows:

DATA: d(20) TYPE c,

d1 type string.

d = 'xy10007101'.

I want to get xy, 1000 and 7101 as seperate strings.Tried as follows but gives an error.

d1 = d - d(2).

How to get them seperately.

Also If i have declared 'xy10007101' as a string and If I wanted to use the "split" function ,how can I put a delimiter say ',' into the string and then later call the split function....

Thanks

Hi ,

this is very simple...instead of using the '-' sign use the '+' sign like

DATA: d(20) TYPE c,

d1 type string.

d = 'xy10007101'.

I want to get xy, 1000 and 7101 as seperate strings.Tried as follows but gives an error.

~~d1 = d - d(2).~~

d1 = d+0(2).

d2 = d+2(4).

d3 = d+6(4),

all the d1,d2,d3 are c type with the desired legth.

For Split.....press f1 you'll get the result...else use SPLIT d at ',' into d1 d2 d3 d4 .

Hope this will solve you problem.

Got it

used "REPLACE" to put the delimiter.

Thanx
