Experts!

Do you have any idea on how i can separate '#' from its right side character.

example::

#SHINE (NO SPACE)

SHINE (# ONE SPACE FROM SHINE)

Thanks!!!

You can make use of the SPLIT command.

See the F1 help of how to use it.

DATA : text(30) TYPE c.
DATA : text1(30) TYPE c,
       text2(30) TYPE c.

text = '# String'.

SPLIT text AT '#' INTO text1 text2.
CONDENSE text2 NO-GAPS. " removes spaces
WRITE : text1, text2. " text2 gives you STRING

Master ,

I think my question is not clear.

Again sir ,

My problem is I want to have one space from '#' character to its right side character.

I have a text field name description::

example::

description field::

color blue #house.

I want to achieve this::

color blue # house.

Did you see the difference?In the first text '#' house appears no space I want to have a space in between '#' character and in the right character like this '#' one space house.

Why I need to have this..

Because when I download the file in the excel the problem is every '#' found the right character after the '#' proceeds to the next line which is wrong so I want to have at least one space between '#' character and to its right side character to avoid this error..

I hope i made it clear..

Sorry for the inconvinience...

Many thanks..

Help me!!!

Master ,

Kindly explain what is

WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' '

TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS = ' '

I did follow your advise and it seems good. But I need to verify first what does these functions are for?? Before I transport in QAS.

Many thanks!!

Hi Salma,

try this code

data old type string value 'color blue#house'.
data new type string.
data pos like sy-fdpos.

search old for '#'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
  pos = sy-fdpos + 1.
endif.

concatenate old(pos) old+pos into new separated by space.
write:/ new.

Hi Salma,

You are getting # this problem arise becasue of length problem look if you are using DAT format then also you have to maintain the length of a field, which is define in data dictionary, as you are using Excel to upload/download the it will take tab sapce(1 tab = 8 space) between the field, so to mark the end of one field to have to use some seperator which you mention as 'X' caps. try to put X in the call function hope it will resolve problem.

FILENAME = '<Drive:\><filename.etx>'

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

Reward if helpful!
