Find First Occurrence ']'

former_member805345 — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 21:57:00 GMT

Hello Experts!

Kinda new to SAP. Please help me how to find the first occurrence. The goal here is to separate two values when it detects ']' then display the first value. For example with a data 123456]0879. Only the 123456 should be displayed. I was supposed to use SPLIT but it won't work if SPLIT sscc1 INTO s_sscc1 since it requires 2 or more fields to be specified.

Current code(still not sure about this one):

DATA: s_sscc1 TYPE string.

IF sscc1 CA ']'.
*find first occurrence code*
ENDIF.
sscc1 = s_sscc1.

Hi Richa,

That was my code before but I was told not to use SPLIT since str2 is not necessary. They want me to use FIND first occurrence. Thank you!

Please try this code.

DATA: s_sscc1 TYPE String,
      lv_var  TYPE I.
 
s_sscc1 = 'AAAA[BBBBB][CCC]'.
 
FIND '[' IN s_sscc1 MATCH OFFSET V_OFF MATCH LENGTH lv_var.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
  write v_off.
  write lv_var.
  WRITE s_sscc1+0(v_off).
Endif.
