Replace Comma with Space Not Working

[Former Member]

Any idea why the following code prints "SAPInc" on my system? I was expecting "SAP Inc".

Thanks for any help.

REPORT zz_temp.

DATA: l_v_char2(30)  TYPE c VALUE 'SAP,Inc'.

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF ',' in l_v_char2 with space.

WRITE: / l_v_char2.

Hi,

Just use TRANSLATE statement instead.

DATA: L_V_CHAR2(30)  TYPE C VALUE 'SAP,Inc'.
                                                                        
TRANSLATE L_V_CHAR2 USING ', '.
                                                                        
WRITE: / L_V_CHAR2.

There should be a space after comma.

DATA: l_v_char2(30) TYPE c VALUE 'SAP, Inc'.

Jerry,

Use this

REPORT zz_temp.

DATA: l_v_char2(30)  TYPE c VALUE 'SAP,Inc'.

TRANSLATE l_v_char2 USING ', '.


WRITE: / l_v_char2.

Hi,

Can you try with LENGTH len addition

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF ',' in l_v_char2 with space LENGTH 1.

As per SAP REPLACE is Obsolete in laltest version

Thanks to all. It just bugs me that it seems like it should work since it is syntactically correct.

If that bothers you, try:

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ' ' IN l_v_char2 WITH ','.

ABAP doesn't seem to handle spaces well.

Check below code. it is printing as you need.

REPORT zz_temp.

DATA: l_v_char2(30) TYPE c VALUE 'SAP,Inc'.

replace ',' with space into l_v_char2.

WRITE: / l_v_char2.
