Use replace statement.

To replace a string in a field with a different string, use the REPLACE statement.

REPLACE <str1> WITH <str2> INTO <c> [LENGTH <l>].

The statement searches the field <c> for the first occurrence of the first <l> positions of the pattern <str1>. If no length is specified, it searches for the pattern <str1> in its full length.

Then, the statement replaces the first occurrence of the pattern <str1> in field <c> with the string <str2>. If a length <l> was specified, only the relevant part of the pattern is replaced.

If the return code value of the system field SY-SUBRC is set to 0, this indicates that <str1> was found in <c> and replaced by <str2>. A return code value other than 0 means that nothing was replaced. <str1>, <str2>, and <len> can be variables.

DATA: T(10) VALUE 'abcdefghij',

STRING LIKE T,

STR1(4) VALUE 'cdef',

STR2(4) VALUE 'klmn',

STR3(2) VALUE 'kl',

STR4(6) VALUE 'klmnop',

LEN TYPE I VALUE 2.

STRING = T.

WRITE STRING.

REPLACE STR1 WITH STR2 INTO STRING.

WRITE / STRING.

STRING = T.

REPLACE STR1 WITH STR2 INTO STRING LENGTH LEN.

WRITE / STRING.

STRING = T.

REPLACE STR1 WITH STR3 INTO STRING.

WRITE / STRING.

STRING = T.

REPLACE STR1 WITH STR4 INTO STRING.

WRITE / STRING.

The output appears as follows:

abcdefghij

abklmnghij

abklmnefgh

abklghij

abklmnopgh

Note how, in the last line, the field STRING is truncated on the right. The search pattern 'cdef' of length 4 is replaced by 'klmnop' of length 6. Then, the rest of the field STRING is filled up to the end of the field.

use the replace command

Data p(6) value ‘ABCABC’.

Replace ‘A’ with ‘’ into p.

Write:/ p. DEFABC

(Replaces first occurrence only)

If the above doesnt work then use the following code

data : a(10),b(10), d(20).

Split STR at '-' into a b.

Concatenate a b into d.

hii

REPLACE ‘&’ WITH ‘ ’ into value.

CONDENSE value [NO-GAPS].

otherwise you can break the value into two using offset

and then concatenate again .

Hi Kalimuthu

Try the following:

DATA: str1 type string value 'C-1000010'.

DATA: str2 type string.

concatenate str1 0(1) + str1 2(7) into str2 .

Hi Kalimuthu,

This logic will work.

data : str(15) type c value '1-23000234',

replace '-' with ' ' into str.

condense str NO-GAPS.

Thanks,
