Last character

Former Member — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 03:52:49 GMT

Hi,

I would like to ask how to identify the suffix for a particular field.

Suppose I have one field value MANGO. Now I would like to set the last character of a field i.e. I wanted to see

the output like O only. But remember the field lengths are different.

i,e,

Field

MANGO

APPLE

BANANA

so I wanted to see output like O, E, A.

Anybody will pls help me.

Hi,

Check this example..

DATA: V_CHAR(10) VALUE 'MANGO'.

DATA: V_LEN TYPE I.

DATA: V_OUTPUT.

V_LEN = STRLEN( V_CHAR ).

v_len = v_len - 1.

V_OUTPUT = V_CHAR+V_LEN(1).

WRITE:/ V_OUTPUT.

Thanks,

Naren

data : v_var(10) value 'MANGO',
         v_len type i,
         last(1).

v_len = strlen( v_var ).
v_len = v_len - 1.
last = v_var+v_len(1).

write : / last.

null

1. simple.

2. this is one way.

we have to use strlen, and offset concept.

3. just copy paste in new program.

report abc.

*----

data : str(10) type c.

data : l type i.

str = 'ABAP'.

*----

l = strlen( str ).

l = l - 1.

write 😕 str+l.

Hi,

Check this code.

DATA: str(10) TYPE c VALUE 'MANGO',
      char    TYPE c.

DATA: length TYPE i.

length = strlen( str ).
length = length - 1.

char = str+length(1).

Here, 'str' can have any value. The variable 'char' will always be last character.

Regards,

Hi Nehu

You could do something like.

REPORT ZZGAZTEST .

field-symbols <fname>.

Data: l_stringlen type i,

l_lastchar type c,

l_number type n,

l_dummy(25) type c,

field(10) type c value 'MANGO'.

l_stringlen = strlen( field ). "Gives length of the data string 'MANGO'

*(5)

l_number = l_stringlen - 1.

concatenate 'field+' l_number '(1)' into l_dummy.

assign (l_dummy) to <fname>.

l_lastchar = <fname>.

Write l_lastchar.

Regards

Gareth

Hi Rammohan,

I'd forgotten Move - Percentage. Nice one.

But don't forget not to use in ABAP Objects: The statement MOVE PERCENTAGE is not allowed in ABAP Objects.

Poor old move-percentage joins the list of statements made obsolete by ABAP Objects
