Function module to split strings

former_member202335 — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:00:54 GMT

Hi,

I have a string value ' DBTABLE-FIELDNAME'. I need to split this into 2 strings - The first one is the database table name and the second one is the fieldname. So, the character '-' is the point where the split needs to be done. How can this be achieved. Any FM that I could use?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Divyaman Singh Rawat

Hi!

The answer is in your question.

Use the SPLIT command for this.

there is no FM

but u can use split command.

DATA: str1 TYPE string,

str2 TYPE string,

str3 TYPE string,

text TYPE string.

text = `mara-matnr`.

SPLIT text AT '-' INTO str1 str2 .

Use FM 'STRING_SPLIT'

REPORT ZEXAMPLE.

DATA: V_HEAD(10), V_TAIL(10).

PARAMETERS: P_STR(20),

P_DEM.

CALL FUNCTION 'STRING_SPLIT'

EXPORTING

DELIMITER = P_DEM

STRING = P_STR

IMPORTING

HEAD = V_HEAD

TAIL = V_TAIL

EXCEPTIONS

NOT_FOUND = 1

NOT_VALID = 2

TOO_LONG = 3

TOO_SMALL = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

WRITE:/ 'HEAD:', V_HEAD,

/ 'TAIL:', V_TAIL.

ELSE.

WRITE:/ 'ERROR SPLITTING STRING'.

ENDIF.

Joy.

Hi,

For this type of logic what you need to do is use CA operator ( Contains Any)

Exmaple:

DATA: ulimit type DBTABLE-FIELDNAME'. DATA: STR(10) TYPE C. DATA: LEN TYPE I. DATA: LEN1 TYPE I. DATA: TOTAL TYPE I. DATA: REMAIN TYPE I. STR = ULIMIT. CONDENSE STR. IF STR CA '-'. LEN = SY-FDPOS. LEN1 = LEN - 1. TOTAL = STRLEN( STR ). REMAIN = TOTAL - LEN. TABLE = STR+0(LEN). FIELDNAME = STR+LEN1( REMAIN ). ENDIF. WRITE:/ TABLE. WRITE:/ FLDNAME.
