function "STRING" performance

Former Member — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:18:56 GMT

Does anyone has any idea if there is any performance issue using the SAP standard function "SEARCH" to search a string?

Is there any other efficient way to search a string from a long text ?

CA CS will search as well..

if itab-field CA 'A'. "<<< contains any

if itab-field CS 'ABCD' "<<< contains string

Thanks Jay for your time and response.

Well, I have to do the fixed string search and not the partial one.

My question is basically for the performance of the function.

I doubt if there's enough performance difference to worry about.
