Character Processing A to B

[Former Member]

I have a situation where for a given character say 'A', the program should propose the next in the english alphabet. I have used a logic with field symbols of type X , it works in 4.6c but not in ecc6.0 with the unicode checks. Is there a way to get this or a function module that does it..

Thank you

Pretty basic:

REPORT ztest LINE-SIZE 80 MESSAGE-ID 00.

PARAMETERS p_let(1) OBLIGATORY.

DATA: f1(26),
      next_let(1),
      pos TYPE i.
MOVE sy-abcde TO f1.
IF f1 CA p_let.
  pos = sy-fdpos + 1.
  IF pos = 26.
    pos = 0.
  ENDIF.
  next_let = f1+pos(1).
  WRITE: p_let, next_let.
ENDIF.

Using TRANSLATE would seem the simplest. TRANSLATE string USING 'AB'.

parameters: p1 type c.

translate p1 using 'ABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJKKLLMMNNOOPPQQRRSSTTUUVVWWXXYYZA'.

Hi,

check this sample program.

DATA: input TYPE char1 VALUE 'A',

output TYPE char1,

index TYPE int4.

FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF input IN sy-abcde

MATCH OFFSET index.

CHECK sy-subrc = 0 AND input NE 'Z'.

index = index + 1.

output = sy-abcde+index(1).

WRITE: / output.

Thanks

Hi Krish,

Try this code.

DATA: ALL_LETTERS(26),

NEXT_LETTER(1),

NEXT_POSITION TYPE I.

MOVE SY-ABCDE TO ALL_LETTERS.

IF ALL_LETTERS CA APLHABET.

NEXT_POSITION = SY-FDPOS + 1.

IF NEXT_POSITION = 26.

NEXT_POSITION = 0.

ENDIF.

NEXT_LETTER = ALL_LETTERS + NEXT_POSITION(1).

WRITE: APLHABET, NEXT_LETTER.

ENDIF.

Interesting code snippet Dileep. But it looks ... I don't know ... kind of familiar.

Hi Vijay,

How to beleive you..:-)))

Its Simple,

When I was replying I have seen many replies just copying the code and pasting the code after a changing case...

And I still remember that I have almost reportred nearly 10-12 threads as abuse explaining this...

And after some day I still seen the same user doing the same again...

I am not sure in which thread I have seen that.

But I am sorry for all the above which is really not necessary,

And Now I got a clear picture & more aware of the forums by looking into the Community Discussions from last few days.

And this thread is already closed... we can close this conversation here...

Thanks a lot again to the moderators.

Thanks & regards,
