Simple ABAP

Hi All,

I need to convert the upper/ lower case letters for a name into Initial letters capital.

e.x. input is : RAVI SHEKAR or ravi shekar

output should be Ravi Shekar

Is there any function module to solve this.

Thanks & regards,

Kranthi

Check FM: STRING_UPPER_LOWER_CASE

Other FM: SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE

Like

      call function 'SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE'
           exporting
                input_expression           = input_expr
                preserve_existing_capitals = ' '
           importing
                output_expression          = output_expr.

Hi Naimesh,

When i try to execute the FM STRING_UPPER_LOWER_CASE

by giving values:

delimiter = space

input = RAVI SHEKAR

i am getting output as RaviShekar. I am not getting exact name. i mean i need to get as Ravi Shekar (same input format).

To get so what could be the input value for delimiter.

thanks

Hi Kranthi,

Check out the

 Funciton Moudle HR_P06I_CONVERT_TO_LOWERCASE

Just enter your name in the internal table it will give you the output as per your requirement.

Hi,

you can change them using PATTERN addition to Translate statement.

TRANSLATE text {TO {UPPER|LOWER} CASE}

| {USING pattern}.

try to check Help to get more on this.

Hi Kranthi,

Translate is the keyword which is used to translate the case of alphabets

Check this simple example.

DATA: t(10) TYPE c VALUE 'AbCdEfGhIj',

string LIKE t,

rule(20) TYPE c VALUE 'AxbXCydYEzfZ'.

string = t.

WRITE string.

TRANSLATE string TO UPPER CASE.

WRITE / string.

string = t.

TRANSLATE string TO LOWER CASE.

WRITE / string.

string = t.

TRANSLATE string USING rule.

WRITE / string.

Cheers!!
