ABAP code help

[Former Member]

Related to the previous question, the SHIFT command does not recognize the '#' sign over there. it does not eliminate so what I have used before to remove it is.

this is the logic..

if znewlawsoncode+??? na 'abcdefghijklmnopqurstuvwxyz'.

shift znewlawsoncode right by 1 places.

condense znewlawsoncode.

endif.

Because the value for this field varies in length for each record sometimes it is 5 chars or 10 or 25 so how can I check for '#' sign here?

As of now I have encountered the field with a constant field length, this is a different scenario.

Thanks

Vinu.

SEARCH string FOR '#'.

SY-FDPOS contains the offset of the found string or the found word within the field.

You can do something like this.

report zrich_0001.


data: c(2000) type c.
data: len type i.
data: offset type i.


c = 'asdl;fkjas;ldkfja;lskdjf;laksjdfklasjfiwoeirn#'.

len = strlen( c ).
offset = len - 1.
clear c+offset(1).

write:/ c.

You can not search for '#' as it will probably not find it because it is not a "#" but a unprintable character.

Tested.... works fine for me.

May be you are wrong.

Check it.

Peluka, what you may be testing is using the actual character '#'. But what Vinu is facing is a special character that is there on the file but in SAP it just shows up as '#'. It is not the character '#'.

To test, create a small test file with one line having two values 'A' and 'B'. Seperate them with a tab. Now upload the file into an internal table and see the contents. You will see '#' instead of tab.

Ok, you win.

I´m wrong. Sory.

Thansk Rich, It worked and is easy way to get rid of the '#' sign.
