SEARCH statement issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am on ECC 6.0. When I try to search for a . (DOT) in below string, I am getting sy-subrc = 4. Infact, the path below has got .(DOT) in it. Any idea, why this is behaving like this ?

ind12fp01\Common\FSS\Invoices\AP\20080916\ipo200809160004A964.TIF

Search statement I am using is

l_file2 = '
ind12fp01\Common\FSS\Invoices\AP\20080916\ipo200809160004A964.TIF' .

search l_file2 for '.'

what mistake am I doing here ?

Regards

SEARCH is obsolate in ECC6 instaead of use FIND

report  zars
        no standard page heading
        line-size 80
        line-count 65.
data: patt       type string value `.`,
      text       type string,
      result_tab type match_result_tab.

field-symbols <match> like line of result_tab.


find all occurrences of patt in
     '\ind12fp01CommonFSSInvoicesAP20080916ipo200809160004A964.TIF' 
     results result_tab.

loop at result_tab assigning <match>.
  write: / <match>-offset, <match>-length.
endloop.

Hi check this

DATA: patt       TYPE string VALUE `.`,
      text       TYPE string VALUE '\\ind12fp01\Common\FSS\Invoices\AP\20080916\ipo200809160004A964.TIF',
      moff TYPE i, mlen TYPE i.

FIND patt IN text MATCH OFFSET moff.
FIND patt IN text MATCH LENGTH mlen.
WRITE: / moff , mlen.

FIND does not supply the sy-fdpos system field with data.
