yes the problem is that i dont know , how many parts im going to get . in split you need specify the variables to save the parts.

Its pretty simple..

Declare ITAB .

DATA: BEIGN OF ITAB OCCURS 1 ,

str(132) ,

end of itab.

check the length using strlen ( string ).

Now string is 1340 characters....

A = 1340 / 132 = 10 times....

B = 1340 - 132 * a= 8 charcaters...

C = 1340- B = 1332.

DATA: A TYPE I ,

DO A TIMES.

D = 132 + D.

ITAB-STR = STRING+D(132).

APPEND ITAB.

ENDDO.

ITAB-STR = STRING +C(b).

APPEND ITAB.

Is that ok???

Hi Jose,

Use offset or function code.

For example i have used offset in time to dispaly as : :

MOVE sy-uzeit TO l_time.
  CONCATENATE l_time+0(2) l_time+2(2) l_time+4(2) INTO l_time SEPARATED BY ':'.

Hello,

You can make use of the FM: RKD_WORD_WRAP or FORMAT_TEXTLINES to split the string at 132 characters.

Hello,

Use the FM TR_SPLIT_TEXT and specify the length at which it has to split to the parameter IV_LEN as 132. The export internal table will hold the splitted text

hi guys , your ideas are great , however i need to split or every 132 OR every <ENTER> key and then create a register in the internal table for every part that i get. How do i find the <ENTER> key in the string in old fashion languages it was something with the ascii

Hi José,

To separate a string at enter you can use this way:

data: c_new value cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.

split v_string at c_new into table itab.

Also can you elobarate what do you mean by creating register.

Hi,

You can declare itab as follows:

data: itab type table of string.

Is this what you are asking for?

But iam still confused with your statement:

 my table has 4 columns

if you have 4 and one string is having 4 enters only...

then you may use

SPLIT STRING AT NEWLINE INTO ITAB-A ITAB-A ITAB-C ITAB-D.

This logic will help

len = strlen( lv_string ).

lv_pos = ceil( len / 132 ).  "Holds no of fields you will get based on this you can create the itab dynamically also.

lv_off1 = 0.
lv_off2 = 132.

do lv_pos times.
wa-line = lv_string+lv_off1(lv_off2).
lv_off1 = lv_off1 + lv_off2.
append wa to itab.
clear wa.
enddo.
