Comparing strings

Former Member — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 19:52:14 GMT

hello,

I have to write a routine in the update rules where i want to check the value of a keyfigure and then determine the result. For example, Workcenter = 2030-1,

2030-2 , 2030-3, 3040-1, 3040-2, etc. Now i want to write a code, like

IF COMM_STRUCTURE-WORKCENTER LIKE '2030__' .

RESULT =1

ENDIF.

here i just want to check the first 4 letters, if the first 4 letters match than i want to perform the if statement. What operator should i use to match only a part of the string.

Thanks in advance.

Laura.

Try like this:

IF COMM_STRUCTURE-WORKCENTER+0(4) = '2030' .
  RESULT =1 
ENDIF.

hi laura

the better option for you will be build a range for ur selection..

ranges: ra_x type your field

<b>sample</b>

MOVE 'I' TO ra_kunnr-sign.

MOVE 'EQ' TO ra_kunnr-option.

MOVE '<b>2030-*</b>' TO ra_kunnr-low.

APPEND ra_kunnr.

CLEAR ra_kunnr.
