Hi all

data: DATUMSTRING type string.
       data vonstring type string.
       data bisstring type string.
       BREAK-POINT.
DATUMSTRING = '1.1.14–31.3.14'.
data: delim(1) value '-'.
split DATUMSTRING at delim into vonstring bisstring.

result:

VONSTRING

1.1.14–31.3.14

Why does is not get splitted at the minus?

Thx, Ragards

Hello,

Am getting this results on my side.

REPORT z_test_ybi_lol.

DATA: datumstring TYPE string.

DATA vonstring TYPE string.

DATA bisstring TYPE string.

BREAK-POINT.

datumstring = '1.1.14-31.3.14'.

DATA: delim(1) VALUE '-'.

SPLIT datumstring AT delim INTO vonstring bisstring.

WRITE / : 'datumstring:', datumstring,

'vonstring:', vonstring,

'bisstring:', bisstring.

Explanation is that you are splitting this string 'datumstring' into two differents variables (vonstring bisstring) upon the delimiter -.

Thanks and kind regards,

Yovish.

VONSTRING                                 

1.1.14–31.3.14

I have executed your code and surprised when it doesnt work but later found that there is difference between

the - (hypen) and the symbol mentioned between the datumstring. Both are not same. I removed the symbol in the datumstring and replaced the hyphen and the code splits the record.

Code:

   REPORT ZTEZT.
data: DATUMSTRING type string.
       data vonstring type string.
       data bisstring type string.
       BREAK-POINT.
DATUMSTRING = '1.1.14-31.3.14'.
data: delim(1) value '-'.
split DATUMSTRING at delim into vonstring bisstring.
write:/ vonstring, bisstring.

Declare the symbol "-" as same in the datunstring variable and it works.

Hi Yovish,

when I try it in "normal" ABAP then it work.

When I try it in a method, it does not work.

Could that be?

Hi Mario,

I executed your code its getting splitted.

See in debugging: the below is before split.

After split:

So output is : 1.1.14

Could you try it in a method?

It seems not to work in ABAP OO.

hi Mario,

Please look this ...

REPORT ZSAMPLE123456.

DATA: datumstring TYPE string.

DATA vonstring TYPE string.

DATA bisstring TYPE string.

data : char_von type char8,

char_bi type char8.

datumstring = '1.1.14-31.3.14'.

DATA: delim(1) VALUE '-'.

SPLIT datumstring AT delim INTO vonstring bisstring.

char_von = datumstring+0(6).

char_bi = datumstring+7(7).

WRITE / : 'datumstring:', datumstring,

'vonstring:', vonstring,

'bisstring:', bisstring,

'char_von :', char_von,

'char_bi :', char_bi.

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi Mario

What do you see in debugging for method..? What is the difference in method?

Please paste your sample code.

Hi,

In DATUMSTRING = '1.1.14–31.3.14' , you have put two minuses i.e it's not working. Replace '--' with '-'.

Hi all,

this is sensationell!!!!

I copied 1.1.14–31.3.14 from an excel sheet.

than I replaced - with - manually.

In hex mode:

Nr 1 is excel

Nr 2 is manually changed:

0031002E0031002E00310034 2013 00330031002E0033002E00310034
0031002E0031002E00310034 002D 00330031002E0033002E00310034

Took me 3 hours!

Thank you all

Mario
