Hi,

CA means "contains any".

"CA (Contains Any):

c1 contains at least one character from the string c2.

If c1 or c2 is of type C, the comparison takes into account the full length of the field, including blanks at the end.

If c1 or c2 is of type STRING and empty, the result of the comparison is always negative.

If the result of the comparison is positive, the system field SY-FDPOS contains the offset of the first character in c1 which is also in c2.

If the result of the comparison is negative, the system field SY-FDPOS contains the length of c1.

The comparison is case-sensitive. "

Hi,

CA (Contains Any)

The logical expression

is true if <f1> contains at least one character from <f2>. The comparison is case-sensitive. If the comparison is true, the system field SY-FDPOS contains the offset of the first character of <f1> that also occurs in <f2> . If it is false, SY-FDPOS contains the length of <f1>.

'ABcde' CA 'Bd ' -true

'ABcde' CA 'bD ' -false

Hope it helps.If so,kindly reward points by clciking the star on the left of reply.
