Length Problem

[Former Member]

Data: x_value1 type string,

x_value2(10) type c.

if x_value1 co '1234'

concatenate '0' x_value1 into x_value2.

elseif x_value1 co'12345'.

concatenate '-' x_value1 into x_value2.

elseif x_value1 co '12345678'

concatenate '*' into x_value2.

endif.

x_value1 may contain 4 digits or 5 digits or 8 digits or 9 digitis or 10 digitis.based on the number of digits i need to concatenate '-' or '0' or '*'.

i tried by declaring x_value1(10) type c

also...but no answer...

how can i get ?

When you use CO you are saying contains only, instead use the

DATA : i_strlen type i.

i_strlen = STRLEN(x_value1).

Case i_strlen.

when 4.

when 5.

Endcase.

HI,

Based on the field length you can pass the different different variables,

lets see the example:

Data: x_value1 type string,

x_value2(10) type c,

len type i.

len = STRLEN(x_value1)

if len = 4.
concatenate '0' x_value1 into x_value2.
elseif len = 5.
concatenate '-' x_value1 into x_value2.
elseif len = 8.
concatenate '*' into x_value2.
endif.

Hope you understand

Hi,

v_len = strlen(x_value1)

case v_len

when 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

concatenate '0' x_value1 into x_value2

when 5 or 6 or 7 .

concatenate '-' x_value1 into x_value2

when 8 or 9 or 10 .

concatenate '*' x_value1 into x_value2

endcase.

Try the below code :

condense x_value1.

lth = strlen (x_value1).

case lth.

when 4.

lval = '0'.

when 5.

lval = '-'.

when 8.

lval = '*'.

endcase.

concatenate lval x_value1 into x_value2.
