Split command for theTAB spacing in file.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Requirement is to read a file from the application server and process it.

The file has the TAB spacings and seen from AL11 shows # for tabs.

I have read the line in a character of 1024. Now on splitting at delimiter '/h/' as seen in debug it does not split the line as reqired.

How to split the columns with tab space.

appreciate your inputs.

Thanks,

Hi,

1. SPLIT f AT g INTO h1 ... hn.

e.g.

DATA: ONE(10) TYPE C,

TWO(10) TYPE C,

SPLIT FIELD AT '#' INTO ONE TWO.

Split the line at the special character cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

SPLIT lv_line AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab INTO TABLE itab.

Please mark points if the solution was useful.

hi stock,

i'm not quite shur if it works, but try this:

CONSTANTS:

CON_NEWL TYPE ABAP_CHAR1 VALUE ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE,

CON_TAB TYPE ABAP_CHAR1 VALUE CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

and split with CON_TAB. Perhaps it helps.

split lv_line at lv_tab into table itab.

Hi stock,

sorry but you can use

CONSTANTS: CON_NEWL TYPE X VALUE '0D', "OK for non Unicode

CON_TAB TYPE X VALUE '09'. "OK for non Unicode

or

CONSTANTS: CON_NEWL TYPE X VALUE %_NEWLINE,

CON_TAB TYPE X VALUE %_HORIZONTAL_TAB.

Hi ,

%_HORIZONTAL_TAB is not accepted without quotes ' ' .

If given with quotes it takes only the 5 character and the split does not work.

How it has to be declared.

Hi,

i'm not sure if it works in your system. Try '09'.
