Splitting string into noncharacter fields

Former Member — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 11:58:59 GMT

Hi All,

I have an internal table with character type data.

I have some 200 structures having some non-character fields like DEC and INT.

Now i want to split the line of internal table in to these structure fields one by one.

But the problem is SPLIT is a string function and only allows character type Field attributes.

Is there any way out, to SPLIT string in some non character fields?

Hi,

Insted of Splitting the ITAB data using SPLIT, why don't you use the <b>offsets</b>,

Move:itab-data+0(10) to DEC.

Move:itab-data+10(20) to DEC.

Hey,

Using SPLIT only will work if you do it on character types, so you should do it first to a char type and then to a non-char.

Hope this helps

data : begin of itab occurs 0,
         str type string,
       end of itab.

loop at it_char.
 split it_char at <delimiter> into table itab.
endloop.

now loop at the ne itab and extract ur values

not sure if it can satify ur requirement

Hi Sudheer,

Offsets can be used..but the problem is length is not fixed.

I mean that i need to split at ';'.

Is there any FM available which performs the similar task that is performed by wrapper classes in JAVA?
