try this...

DATA : str TYPE string VALUE '100 00 0000',

str_len TYPE i,

str_len2 TYPE i,

space_count TYPE i.

str_len = STRLEN( str ).

CONDENSE str NO-GAPS.

str_len2 = STRLEN( str ).

space_count = ( str_len - str_len2 ).

WRITE 😕 space_count.

data : a type string,

b type string,

c type i,

d type i,

e type i.

a = '100 100 100'.

move a to b.

condense b no-gaps.

c = strlen( a ).

d = strlen( b ).

e = c - d.

write 😕 'number of gaps' , e.

hi Sameer,

1. count the length of the string (with STRLEN...)

2. CONDENSE string NO-GAPS (this will remove all spaces)

3. count the length of the string (with STRLEN...) - again

4. calculate the difference between the first and second count, that will be the number of spaces in your string.

hope this helps
