Question reg. 'replace'

[Former Member]

I have an internal table with a record with fields:

Text: Change delivery &1 , customer &2 (of type char 73)

msgv1: 5678 (of char 50)

msgv2: 457890 (of char 50)

Now I want to replace &1 with msgv1 and &2 with msgv2 values. I tried the following code:

LOOP AT itab.

IF itab-msgv1 NE space.

REPLACE '&1' WITH itab-msgv1 INTO itab-text.

CONDENSE itab-text.

MODIFY itab.

ENDIF.

IF itab-msgv2 NE space.

REPLACE '&2' WITH itab-msgv2 INTO itab-text.

CONDENSE itab-text.

MODIFY itab.

ENDIF.

endloop.

Now when I set breakpoint and see after the loop, that record in itab-text contains value:

Change delivery 5678

(where as I could nt find any replacement for customer &2 and not even the original text customer &2). Am I doing anything wrong?

Can you please suggest/correct the code here reg. correct complete replacements?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you know the message ID and number..

Use the function module MESSAGE_PREPARE with the parameters MSGID, MSGNO, MSGV1 , MSGV2 , MSGV3, MSGV4.

I will also check your code..

Hi,

Try to condense the field itab-msgv1, itab-msgv2 before doing the concatenate..

LOOP AT itab.

IF itab-msgv1 NE space.

<b>CONDENSE itab-msgv1.</b>

REPLACE '&1' WITH itab-msgv1 INTO itab-text.

CONDENSE itab-text.

MODIFY itab.

ENDIF.

IF itab-msgv2 NE space.

<b>CONDENSE itab-msgv2.</b>

REPLACE '&2' WITH itab-msgv2 INTO itab-text.

CONDENSE itab-text.

MODIFY itab.

ENDIF.

endloop.

Thanks,

Naren
