HI,

you cannot use the offset specification for a database field.

rather u try this.

select single bktxt

into w_bktxt

from bkpf

where bktxt like '1234%'.

Thanks

into w_bktxt
from bkpf
where bktxt like '1234%'.

Thanks Mahesh and Alvaro...

Can i do this?

data w_ad(4) type c.

concatenate w_ad '%' into w_ad

and then

select single bktxt

into w_bktxt

from bkpf

where bktxt like w_ad.

if w_ad is '123 ' the select will be sy-subrc = 4 ?

Thanks In Advance

Sure, the code it's ok -:) But w_ad must have a value first -;)

w_ad = '123'.

concatenate w_ad '%' into w_ad.

Yes...It can be done that way...

The <b>%</b> works like this....123% is equal as saying....123(and every number)...

So if you perform your SELECT and the value stored in the DB is 123, the SY-SUBRC is going to 0...But if the value stored in the DB is for example 132, then the SY-SURBC is going to be 4 -:)

Yes if you have w_ad defined with length 5 and default it to 1234.

data w_ad(5) type c value '1234'.

concatenate w_ad '%' into w_ad

condense w_ad no-gaps.

select single bktxt

into w_bktxt

from bkpf

where bktxt like w_ad.

This will bring any document that has a BKTXT value that starts with 1234
