Special Character Replacement.

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I have a requirement where in i have to replace the special character.

EG:

TEXT : Vendor & is not defined in company code &

Value1 E3008991

Value2 1101

i need to replace the '&' with specific value. if there are 3 '&''s in a text i need to replace all the 3 with different values.

I want the final output like this :

Vendor E3008991 is not defined in company code 1101

Can any one plz guide me....

Hi Saikanth,

Use message class to fulfill this requirement.

MESSAGE e035 with value1 value2.

Or you can use text elements instead to fulfill the requirement.

Hi Saikant,

I am little confused with your question now.

If you don't know how many & you will be getting in work area, how will you know what values you need to put in each of the &?

In addition to that, from where are you fetching this text into internal table?

From the EDIDS table i'm fetching the

STATXT - status text

STAPA1 - parameter1

STAPA2 - parameter2

STAPA3 - parameter3

STAPA4 - parameter4

into an internal table.

In the status text i need to replace the '&' with the parameters.

in some of the status text there are 3'&''s and in some there are 2&'s. i need to replace the & of the status text in the sequential order with the parameters 1,2,3,4

Hi Saikant,

Use FM 'MESSAGE_PREPARE' to display the message. You can pass message ID, number from EDIDS and use fields STAPA1, STAPA2, STAPA3, STAPA4 to display the final message.

Refer below code:

V_MSGNO = EDIDS-STAMNO.

CALL FUNCTION 'MESSAGE_PREPARE'

  EXPORTING

    msg_id                       = EDIDS-STAMID

    msg_no                       = V_MSGNO

   MSG_VAR1                     = EDIDS-STAPA1

   MSG_VAR2                     = EDIDS-STAPA2

   MSG_VAR3                     = EDIDS-STAPA3

   MSG_VAR4                     = EDIDS-STAPA4

IMPORTING

   MSG_TEXT                     = V_TEXT.

Hope it helpful.

Hi Saikanth ,

Try this code :

data : lv_text(100) VALUE 'Vendor & is not defined in company code &' ,

        Value1(8) value  'E3008991' ,

        Value2(4) VALUE  '1101'.

WRITE : lv_text.

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '&' IN lv_text WITH Value1.

REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '&' IN lv_text WITH Value2.

WRITE : lv_text.

Hi Saikanth,

Use this below code, I hope it's useful for your requirement.

DATA : text TYPE string,

        value1 TYPE char8 VALUE 'E3008991',

        value2 TYPE char4 VALUE '1101',

        lv_lv TYPE string,

        lv_lv1 TYPE string,

        indx TYPE sy-index VALUE '1'.

DATA : lv_split TYPE TABLE OF char40,

        lv_wa TYPE string.

text =  'Vendor &&& is not defined in company code &&&'.

SPLIT text AT '&' INTO TABLE lv_split.

CLEAR text.

LOOP AT lv_split INTO lv_wa .

   IF lv_wa IS NOT INITIAL.

     IF indx = 1.

       lv_lv = lv_wa.

     ELSEIF indx = sy-tabix.

       lv_lv1 = lv_wa.

     ENDIF.

   ENDIF.

       indx = sy-tabix + 1.

   CLEAR lv_wa.

ENDLOOP.

CONCATENATE lv_lv value1 lv_lv1 value2 INTO text SEPARATED BY space.

MESSAGE text TYPE 'S'.

Regard,

Karthik.
