Split a string at special character(Tab character)

[fisher_li]

ABAP guru,

I tried to split a string at the tab character.

The following ABAP statements work fine when Unicode checks are deactivated.

data: W_TAB_FIELD(1) TYPE X VALUE '09'.

SPLIT W_LTEXT AT W_TAB_FIELD INTO w_ltext1 w_ltext2 w_ltext3.

But if I checked the box "Unicode checks are active", the statements above will have syntax error

"W_TAB_FIELD" must be a character-like data object (data type C, N, D, T, or STRING).

How can I split a string at tab character in the Unicode checks active environment?

Thanks in advance!

Change your decleration to :

data: W_TAB_FIELD TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF.

J@y,

Thank you very much for pointing to the right direction!

I used "W_TAB_FIELD(1) TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB" and it worked!

Thank you again!
