Splitting a string with a delimiter

Former Member — Thu, 29 May 2008 10:56:32 GMT

Hi,

Below are the lines of code in ABAP.

v_gpdwstring(17) TYPE c,

v_afterdec(3) TYPE c,

v_beforedec(10) TYPE c,

SPLIT v_gpdwstring AT '.' INTO v_beforedec v_afterdec.

The test value for v_gpdwstring = "1.53-"

when the above SPLIT command is executed,

v_beforedec is returning blank and v_afterdec is returning 53-

Can anyone tell why v_beforedec is returning blank.

Thanks

Hi Radhika,

I executed the same code what you gave. It works fine.

data: v_gpdwstring(17) TYPE c value '1.53-',

v_afterdec(3) TYPE c,

v_beforedec(10) TYPE c.

SPLIT v_gpdwstring AT '.' INTO v_beforedec v_afterdec.

write:/ v_beforedec, v_afterdec.

The output v_beforedec is ! only.

Please revert back.

Regards

Hello Radhika,

When I look at this, it seemed ok.

So I've tested like this:


DATA:                                                     
v_gpdwstring(17)             TYPE c,                      
v_afterdec(3)                TYPE c,                      
v_beforedec(10)              TYPE c.                                                                                
break-point.                                              
v_gpdwstring = '1.53-'.                                                                                
SPLIT v_gpdwstring AT '.' INTO v_beforedec v_afterdec.

And the result was correct: v_beforedec as '1', v_afterdec as '53-'.

Can you re-check please? It seems ok...

Kind regards,

Bruno

Hi,

SPLIT dobj AT sep INTO

{ {result1 result2 ...} | {TABLE result_tab} }

[IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].

In ur coding ur missing TABLE keyword.

This code worked fine for me too.


DATA:
  v_gpdwstring(17) TYPE c VALUE '1.53-',
  v_afterdec(3) TYPE c,
  v_beforedec(10) TYPE c.

split v_gpdwstring at '.' into v_beforedec v_afterdec.

BREAK-POINT.
