offset too long

Former Member — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 14:18:44 GMT

Hello experts,

I tryed to execute the following lines of code, but I get an error message saying something like "offset too long".

DATA: str1(60) TYPE c,

len type i,

spcarr(60) type c value

'0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@&()_-+=|\:;",./'.

str1 = TRAN_STRUCTURE-DBBUSNAME.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '`' IN

str1 WITH ''''.

len = strlen( str1 ).

do len times.

if str1+sy-index(1) na spcarr. <<<< error here!

clear str1+sy-index(1).

endif.

enddo.

RESULT = str1.

Any suggestions

Thanks

I have executed you r code and am not getting any error. Can you check in DEBUG mode where exactly you are getting error ad let me know.

I tried to execute this, but result wasnt defined, i guess this is a function module.

Second,

str1 = TRAN_STRUCTURE-DBBUSNAME.

is not a valid abap statement. Qre quotes missing?

Try this.

do len times.
if len = sy-index.
exit.
endif.
if str1+sy-index(1) na spcarr. <<<< error here!
clear str1+sy-index(1).
endif.
enddo.

Hi,

Lets say if the String length is 50, then LEN field will have 50 value.

the statment if str1sy-index(1) na spcarr.. lets take the last record, then here, in this line it will become if str150(1) na spcarr. so there is no 51st charecter in the feild STR1, so it it giving the error.

len = strlen( str1 ).

len = len - 1.

do len times.

if str1+sy-index(1) na spcarr. <<<< error here!

clear str1+sy-index(1).

endif.

enddo.

This code is placed inot a transfer routine of SAP BW!

TRAN_STRUCTURE-DBBUSNAME represents a field of a table and is character string.

Since this is a ABAP-problem I thought it would be reasonable to place my quetion in this forum.

You need another variable of type i.

data startpos type i.

do len times.

startpos = sy-index - 1.

if str1+startpos(1) na spcarr. <<<< error here!

clear str1+startpos(1).

endif.

enddo.

So if I loop an array "ABCD", str1+sy-index(1) starts with "B" and not "A"!

Correct. When you say stringstartpos(offset), startpos indicates where you are starting and offset indicates the length of the string you want from out of the total string. So for the first character you are starting at zero position and you want 1 character which would be string0(1).
