Select upper/lowercase

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a table where I got data in upper and lower case (like "TeSt".

My selection must find this entry if the selct-options contain:

TE*

te*

*ST

etc.

In my program I select all my data in an internal table.

Then the text field (TeSt) from the internal table is converted into a local field in upper-case .

But how do I get the the right data?

I have tried this, but it is not a succes...

LOOP at ITAB
    lv_firm = ITAB-company.

    lv_strln = STRLEN( lv_firm ).

    DO lv_strln TIMES.

      TRANSLATE lv_ITAB+lv_count(1) TO UPPER CASE .
      ADD 1 TO lv_count.

    ENDDO.

    IF lv_firm IN r_firm.

      CONTINUE.
    ELSE.
      DELETE ITAB.
    ENDIF.

  ENDLOOP.

Hi,

You dont have to convert the field to uppercase character by character. You can directly use the translate command on the whole field. If r_firm is the select-options, convert even those to upper case

data: v_firm(10) type c.
SELECT-OPTIONS: r_firm for v_firm.

loop at r_firm.
    TRANSLATE r_firm-low TO UPPER CASE .
modify r_firm.
endloop.

LOOP at ITAB
    TRANSLATE ITAB-company TO UPPER CASE .
    IF NOT ITAB-comapny IN r_firm.
       DELETE ITAB.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.

Thanks for the reply - My range was wrong... (the option should be CP).

Anyway I could use your optimized code thanks

DATA v_field(10) TYPE c.
SELECT-OPTIONS s_field FOR v_field LOWER CASE.

START-OF-SELECTION.
  SELECT FIELD1
    FROM DATA_TABLE
    INTO TABLE IT_TAB
    WHERE FIELD1 IN s_field.

the keywords 'LOWER CASE' to set select-option upper and lower sensitive.

Hi, <li> I tried with the below sample program by giving matnr 100* , *100. <li>You do not need to worry about your case you mentioned TE* te* *ST. It automatically converts to capital letters. Try this way.

REPORT  ZTEST_NOTEPAD.
TABLES:MARC.
DATA: IT_MARC TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF MARC WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_MATNR FOR MARC-MATNR.

START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT * FROM MARC INTO TABLE IT_MARC WHERE MATNR IN S_MATNR.
LOOP AT IT_MARC.
  LOOP AT S_MATNR.
    IF MARC-MATNR CP S_MATNR-LOW.
      WRITE:/ IT_MARC-MATNR.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.

Thanks Venkat.O
