Character type field

Former Member — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:58:22 GMT

Hi all,

I stored 'A' in a character field which is of lenght 1. How can it be incremented to B, C, D and so on. (Suppose in loop or so).

Regards,

Hi,

DATA: WA_VALUE(3),

WA_CTR TYPE I,

WA_CHAR(1).

DO 26 TIMES.

WA_CTR = SY-INDEX - 1.

WA_CHAR = SY-ABCDE+WA_CTR(1).

WRITE: / WA_VALUE.

ENDDO.

Thanks

Hi,

u have to build up the logic...

use SY-ABCDE.

get the fpos value of the character in sy-abcde . and increment the position by 1. u will get the next character.
