Replace special characters in String

carlos_zhang3 — Wed, 05 May 2010 09:52:51 GMT

Dear Guru ,

Does SAP provide the standard function that can replace the special characters in String ?

For example :

I have one template string : " & & & & & output(s) have not been processed yet ! " and five parameters : "P1" , "P2" , "P3" , "P4" , "P5" .

And i would like to apply all parameters into the string to replace the "&" character . Is it possibile ?

My idea is sourcing from the Message String that in tcode : SE91 .

Thanks .

Best Regards,

Carlos Zhang

Hi Carlos,

I think instead of a standard FM you can write a one line command to do this job.

E.g.

constant: str1 type string value 'output(s) have not been processed yet ! '.

data: var1 type c,

var2 type c,

var3 type c,

var4 type c,

str type string.

concatenate var1 var2 var3 var4 str1 into str separated by space.

So str will have the final value.

Thanks,

Did you try passing values of P1, P2, P3.... as SPACE ?

Hi if the template is fixed

There is a tricky way like ,

create a message no in message class with & & & & &.

data:text type bapi_msg.

message ID 'ZSD'

type 'E'

number '901'

with p1 p2 p3 p4

into text.

write text.
