Hi,

You can use CS comparison operator for that or SEARCH statement.

Check the documentation on those keywords.

hi,

you can use a RANGE too.

it's work for a field or an internal table.

DATA: BEGIN OF rtab OCCURS {10|n},

sign(1) TYPE c,

option(2) TYPE c,

low LIKE dobj,

high LIKE dobj,

END OF sel.

hi,

try this short example:

DATA: BEGIN OF REPORT OCCURS 0,

TEXT(255),

END OF REPORT.

DATA: PRG LIKE SY-REPID.

PRG = SY-REPID.

READ REPORT PRG INTO REPORT.

LOOP AT REPORT.

SEARCH REPORT-TEXT FOR 'LOOP'.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

WRITE: / SY-TABIX, SY-FDPOS, REPORT-TEXT(60).

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.
