Replace table command in one column

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

   Is it possible to replace a patten just in one column in the internal table?

For example:

   DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
   TEST1(20) TYPE C,
   TEST2(20) TYPE C,
   END OF ITAB.
   DATA: P_LINE TYPE I.
   DATA: P_LOW.
   ITAB-TEST1 = 'AN20'.
   ITAB-TEST2 = 'AN20AN20AN20'.
   APPEND ITAB.
   APPEND ITAB.
   APPEND ITAB.

   After update the table should be changed to below.

TEST1	TEST2
AN20	EG20EG20EG20
AN20	EG20EG20EG20
AN20	EG20EG20EG20

   I would like to update second column TEST2 that value change from AN20AN20AN20 to EG20EG20EG20.

   How can I use replace table command to update it? NO LOOP PLEASE.

Thanks,

Leon

      Replacw table command works only when your itab is declarred as

          DATA itab TYPE TABLE OF string.

HI Leon,

Please use the below line of code.

     data:   off TYPE i,
               lin TYPE i,
               off1 TYPE i,
               lin1 TYPE i,
               lin2 type i.

lin = 1.
lin1 = 2.
lin2 = 3.
off =  5.
off1 = 0.


   REPLACE ALL occurences of 'AN20'
   IN TABLE itab from lin offset off to lin1 offset off1 WITH 'EG20'
   RESPECTING CASE.

   REPLACE ALL occurences of 'AN20'
   IN TABLE itab from lin1 offset off to lin2 offset off1 WITH 'EG20'
   RESPECTING CASE.

   REPLACE ALL occurences of 'AN20'
   IN TABLE itab from lin2 offset off WITH 'EG20'
   RESPECTING CASE.

Thanks

Hi

U can use MODIFY statament:

ITAB-TEST2 = 'EG20EG20EG20'.

MODIFY ITAB TRANSPORTING TEST2 WHERE TEST2 =  'AN20AN20AN20'.
