replace command

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

See the following code.

DATA STR(1000) TYPE C VALUE '1#02.11.2006#02.11.2006#1061#AUD##7#SA#Legacy data transfer1#Reference1'.

replace all occurrences of '#' in str with space.

if sy-subrc = 0.

write:/ str.

endif.

So the o/p is

102.11.200602.11.20061061AUD7SALegacy data transfer1Reference1

But the Actual o/p should be like this:

1 02.11.2006 02.11.2006 1061 AUD 7 SA Legacy data transfer Reference1

it should contain 10 fields in o/p...

Can anybody tell me what may be the problem in the code?

y it is not taking space?

Pleae try using translate instead.

DATA: STR(1000) TYPE C VALUE '1#02.11.2006#02.11.2006#1061#AUD##7#SA#Legacy' 
translate  str using  '# '.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE:/ STR.
ENDIF.

Hi,

Thanks..it is working...but see the below code.

TYPES: TY_D_ITABVALUE TYPE ALSMEX_TABLINE-VALUE,

TY_T_ITAB TYPE ALSMEX_TABLINE OCCURS 0,

BEGIN OF TY_S_SENDERLINE,

LINE(4096) TYPE C,

END OF TY_S_SENDERLINE,

TY_T_SENDER TYPE TY_S_SENDERLINE OCCURS 0 .

DATA: EXCEL_TAB1 TYPE TY_T_SENDER.

DATA : WA_EXCELTAB1 LIKE LINE OF EXCEL_TAB1.

data: str(2000) type c.

LOOP AT EXCEL_TAB1 INTO WA_EXCELTAB1.

str = WA_EXCELTAB1-line.

translate str using '#'.

MODIFY EXCEL_TAB1 FROM WA_EXCELTAB1.

CLEAR WA_EXCELTAB1.

ENDLOOP.

So here the same translate statement is not working..

WA_EXCELTAB1-line has value:1#02.11.2006#02.11.2006#1061#AUD##7#SA#Legacy data transfer1#Reference1

What may be the problem?

ur logic looking very clumsy..

try this way...ur modify EXCEL_TAB1 using WA_EXCELTAB1

but doing translate to str.

LOOP AT EXCEL_TAB1 INTO WA_EXCELTAB1.
*str = WA_EXCELTAB1-line.
translate WA_EXCELTAB1-line using '#'.
MODIFY EXCEL_TAB1 FROM WA_EXCELTAB1.
CLEAR WA_EXCELTAB1.
ENDLOOP.

May be u need to reassign str to WA_EXCELTAB1-line.

Try with the following code:

data: l_separator TYPE c.

l_separator = cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF l_separator IN wa_data WITH space.
