material code lenght

[Former Member]

hi,

i use the strlen function to measure the length of the material code. but, it returns an syntax error. Is there any other function that i can use??

[JoffyJohn]

len = strlen( mara-matnr ).

in len field you will get the length of material code

i tried it before, it returns

the field "STRLEN" is unknown, but there is a field with the similar name 'SLEN'.

  DATA:  MATLEN TYPE I.

  READ TABLE IT_CHARDATA INDEX COUNTER.
  CONCATENATE 'abc' IT_CHARDATA-LINE+4 INTO L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL.

  MATLEN = STRLEN(L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL).

  READ TABLE IT_CHARDATA INDEX COUNTER.
  CONCATENATE 'abc' IT_CHARDATA-LINE+4 INTO L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL.
 
  MATLEN = STRLEN( L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL ).
 

one space after ( and

one space before ).

hi,

use code as below :

DATA: MATLEN TYPE I,

L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL type mara-matnr.

concatenate 'abc' '1234' into L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL.

• FIND LENGTH OF A STRING

MATLEN = STRLEN( L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL ). " Space after ( and before )

WRITE:/ 'LENGTH OF', L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL, 'IS', MATLEN." Commas

Hi

Try like this

DATA: w_len TYPE i.

w_len = STRLEN( v_pattern2 ).

Or else use this functionmodule SWA_STRINGLENGTH_GET

There should be a space between brackets

  DATA:  MATLEN TYPE I.
 
  READ TABLE IT_CHARDATA INDEX COUNTER.
  CONCATENATE 'abc' IT_CHARDATA-LINE+4 INTO L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL.
 
  MATLEN = STRLEN( L_TEMPITEM-MATERIAL ).
