Hi,

1.First Find the the Position using the SEARCh command.You will get SY-FDPOS value.

2.You length of the string.

3.Access the field like field1+sy-fdpos(lengthofword).

Thanks & Regards,

Vamsi.

Hi,

Also it depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to remove the word completely you could try:

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF 'DEMO' with ''.

Or if you want the offset value (the position of the substring) you can use:

DATA: l_offset type i.

FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF 'DEMO' MATCH OFFSET l_offset.

Cheers

Alex

Hi,

please check below statments.

DATA: text TYPE STRING. 

text = 'Everyone knows this'. 

FIND 'know' IN text.

even you can use SEARCH statment.

DATA F(20) VALUE 'Peter Paul Mary'. 

SEARCH F FOR '*UL' AND MARK.

SY-SUBRC is now set to 0, since the search string was found in 'Paul'. SY-FDPOS has the value 6, since the character string found starts at the offset 6. Also, the search string is marked, so that the new contents of F are as follows:

'Peter PAUL Mary'

Thanks,
