Check the below code:

DATA: ws_data TYPE char10,

ws_data1 TYPE char5,

ws_data2 TYPE char5.

ws_data = 'Prak#ash'.

SPLIT ws_data AT '#' INTO ws_data1 ws_data2.

WRITE: / ws_data1.

WRITE: / ws_data2.

The hash is nothing but a 'tab' character.

trty using CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB instead of #.

split v_str into field1 field2 at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

its working for me.check this code.

REPORT ZSRIM_TEMP14.

data : v1 type string,

v2 type string,

v3 type string,

v4 type string.

v1 = 'abcd#def#ghi'.

split v1 at '#' into v2 v3 v4.

write 😕 v1,v2,v3,v4.

but remember that if you are downloding data from application server and if the file has any seperator like (horizantal tab,or any special character) will be displayed for us as #.but internally it will be treated differently. so first confirm whether its a special character # or any other seperator ??

if you are in a unicode system, use

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZANTAL_TAB for horizantal tab seperator

or use

data : v_htab type x value '09'. in a non unicode system.

Hi Vijay,

1) Use statement CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB instead of '#' in your SPLIT statement.

2) Use CLASS CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES DEFINITION LOAD as the first statement in your report.

Thanks,

Vinay

Check if the following helps:

DATA : l_string TYPE string VALUE 'abcd#efgh#ijkl#mnop',

lt_string TYPE TABLE OF string.

SPLIT l_oth_string AT '#' INTO TABLE lt_string.

You need not declare the class. Try using as below.

data: l_tab(1) type c value CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

split l_text at l_tab into l_text1 l_text2.

Kind Regards

Hi Vijayarama,

Which version are you working on?

If you are on <4.7, then you have to use

data: v_tab type x value '09'.

split v_str into val1 val2 at v_tab.
