SPlit Dynamic Table data (FIeldsymbol) ?

Former Member — Thu, 29 May 2008 16:28:02 GMT

Hello All,

I have a dynamic internal Table in the form of a Field Symbol.

Now I need to split the fields of this fieddsymbols data at each field separated by a ' ; '.

and then pass the content to a character type variable.

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this ?

Regards,

Hello,

Try this:


DATA itab TYPE TABLE OF string.

FIELD-SYMBOLS:
  <tab>   TYPE ANY TABLE,
  <wa>    TYPE ANY,
  <field> TYPE ANY.

    LOOP AT <tab> ASSIGNING <wa>.
      DO.
        ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE <wa> TO <field>.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
         SPLIT <field> AT ';' INTO  TABLE itab. 
        ELSE.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
    ENDLOOP.

In itab each field separated by ; will be a line,

Regards.

Hello David,

I have written the following code to get the data from my field-symbol table into a char field separated by ' ; '.


* From the Dynamic Table get the content into a char field separated by ';'
  CLEAR lv_line.
  LOOP AT <dyn_table> ASSIGNING <dyn_wa>.
    DO.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE <dyn_wa> TO <fs_split>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        CONCATENATE lv_line <fs_split> INTO lv_line SEPARATED BY ';'.
        IF lv_line+0(1) = ';'.
          lv_line+0(1) = ' '.
          CONDENSE lv_line NO-GAPS.
        ENDIF.
*        TRANSFER lv_line TO p_lv_file.
      ELSE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    TRANSFER lv_line TO p_lv_file.
  ENDLOOP.

But when the concatenate statement is facing a TYPE P field it's going for a dump saying :


The current statement only supports character-type data objects.

In statement
   "CONCATENATE"
the argument "<FS_SPLIT>" can only take a character-type data object.

In this case, the operand "<FS_SPLIT>" has the non-character type "P".

How to overcome this situation ?

Hello All,

I solved the issue.

I checked the field type using the DESCRIBE FIELD Syntax

and when it is type P I unpacked it into a Char variable and then proceeded.

Here is the code :


* From the Dynamic Table get the content into a char field separated by ';'
  CLEAR lv_line.
  LOOP AT <dyn_table> ASSIGNING <dyn_wa>.
    DO.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE <dyn_wa> TO <fs_dyn_line>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        CLEAR lv_data_type.
        DESCRIBE FIELD <fs_dyn_line> TYPE lv_data_type.
        IF lv_data_type = 'P'.
          UNPACK <fs_dyn_line> TO lv_char.
          CONCATENATE lv_line lv_char INTO lv_line SEPARATED BY ';'.
        ELSE.
          CONCATENATE lv_line <fs_dyn_line> INTO lv_line SEPARATED BY ';'.
          IF lv_line+0(1) = ';'.
            lv_line+0(1) = ' '.
            CONDENSE lv_line NO-GAPS.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    TRANSFER lv_line TO p_lv_file.
    CLEAR lv_line.
  ENDLOOP.
