hi,

To split a character string into two or more smaller strings, use the SPLIT statement as follows:

SPLIT <c> AT <del> INTO <c1> ... <cn>.

The system searches the field <c> for the separator <del>. The parts before and after the separator are placed in the target fields <c1> ... <cn>.

Example

DATA: STRING(60),
P1(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
P2(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
P3(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
P4(20) VALUE '++++++++++++++++++++',
DEL(3) VALUE '***'.

STRING = ' Part 1 *** Part 2 *** Part 3 *** Part 4 *** Part 5'.
WRITE STRING.

SPLIT STRING AT DEL INTO P1 P2 P3 P4.

WRITE / P1.
WRITE / P2.
WRITE / P3.
WRITE / P4.

<b>The output appears as follows:</b>

Part 1 *** Part 2 *** Part 3 *** Part 4 *** Part 5

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4 *** Part 5

DATA: str1 TYPE string, 
      str2 TYPE string, 
      str3 TYPE string, 
      itab TYPE TABLE OF string, 
      text TYPE string. 

text = `What a drag it is getting old`. 

SPLIT text AT space INTO: str1 str2 str3, 
                          TABLE itab.

The text field text is separated at its blank characters, into the three strings str1, str2, and str3, and then into an internal table with the line type string. As the three strings are not sufficient for all seven parts, after the separation, str3 contains "drag it is getting old", while the internal table contains seven lines; one for each word in text.

reward points if it is usefull ...
