Hi,

U can use the 'SPLIT' keyword.

Eg: SPLIT 'STOP Two STOP Three STOP ' AT 'STOP' INTO TABLE ITAB.

Hi Madhumita,

Use Key word SPLIT.

Sample code:

DATA: str1 TYPE string,

str2 TYPE string,

str3 TYPE string,

itab TYPE TABLE OF string,

text TYPE string.

text = 'What a drag it is getting old'.

SPLIT text AT space INTO: str1 str2 str3,

TABLE itab.

Kindly Reward Points If You Found The Reply Helpful,

Cheers,

      [ IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE ].

you can decide if you want to insert it in an internal table or into variables
