Field symbol data to function module

[Former Member]

hi all,

i am using the function module SF_SPECIALCHAR_DELETE to remove the special characters.

whereas we have the data in the field symbol <fs_data>.

In the selection screen i will enter the field which has the special character, for suppose if i enter

SGTXT field in selection screen that field as a special character.

whereas in field symbol <fs_data> the field SGTXT has special character , so that need to be removed.

i am using the FM SF_SPECIALCHAR_DELETE but it is going to dump if i pass the values as below.

CALL FUNCTION 'SF_SPECIALCHAR_DELETE'

EXPORTING

WITH_SPECIALCHAR = <fs_table>

IMPORTING

WITHOUT_SPECIALCHAR = <fs_table>

• EXCEPTIONS

• RESULT_WORD_EMPTY = 1

• OTHERS = 2

please suggest me how to pass the field symbol data to above function module .

thanks in advance..

hi suhas,

the field symbol is defined as below

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

please help me

Did you check the TYPEs of the interface params for SF_SPECIALCHAR_DELETE.

You cannot pass internal tables to the FM. Can you explain your req. in simple language ?

suhas,

i have to remove the special characters for the fields exists in the field symbol <fs_table>

for suppose BELNR = 123#456@ the BELNR value should be replaced as 123456 means special characters need to removed.

Can you make it more clear

What is <fs_data> then ?

Why are you usin a field symbol of type table ?

How the data is stored in <fs_table> ?

The import parameter of SF_SPECIALCHAR_DELETE is of type CHAR(40). This means that you cannot use this FM with a FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.

Instead you need a field symbol like this to call the FM:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <f> TYPE sf_searchw. "CHAR(40)
