split a string into 72 charaters each

[Former Member]

I have a string of length 6000 as an input. I need to divide the string into multiples of 72 and create a internal table. Is anybody could give some idea how to do it.

Hi,

Use function module CONVERT_STRING_TO_TABLE.

A possible solution and one you could have figured out yourself:

g_divided = 6000 div 72. "or is it MOD? I always mix DIV and MOD....

do g_divided  times.

 wa_string_72 = g_string_6000(72).
 append wa_string_72 to it_string_72.

 shift g_string_6000 left 72 places.

enddo.

edit:

Ha! was too late, but that function will do the trick as well!

Hi,

Try this method..

DATA: BEGIN OF T_TEMP OCCURS 16,

TEXT(3000),

END OF T_TEMP.

first read string into temp table

DO 25 TIMES.

READ TABLE T_TEMP INDEX SY-INDEX.

CASE SY-INDEX.

WHEN 1.

MOVE T_TEMP+0(72) TO GT_UNIX-test1.

WHEN 2.

MOVE T_TEMP+72(144) TO GT_UNIX-test2.

...............

..............

................

.................

endcase.

enddo.

Use FM 'IQAPI_WORD_WRAP'.

CALL FUNCTION 'IQAPI_WORD_WRAP'

EXPORTING

textline = w_string

outputlen = 72

TABLES

out_lines = outtab

EXCEPTIONS

outputlen_too_large = 1

OTHERS = 2.
